Installation requirements

for hydrophone ZET 351

The hydrophones should be installed in the relevat mounting seats of pipes, underwater equipment or walls of pools/ vessels. It is crucial to reduce the gap between the mounting surface and the transducer (which means, that only the sensing element of the transducer should be protruding from the inner wall of the pipe). This mounting technique allows to secure free flow of liquids as well as to reduce acoustic nosie (both hydrodynamic and flow noise).

When installing the hydrophone to the relevant mounting seat, use a wrench and a hex drive of the sensing element. It is not allowed to use any other parts of hydrophone during its installation.

In order to secure hermeticity at the installation place of the hydrophone, use the components included into delivery scope: end gasket (rubber O-ring). It is not recommended to use other types of sealants (e.g., foam tape, flax fiber), since they are not able to provide the required hermeticity level.
