Model 515 Standard Mount Paddlewheel
When choosing this style of sensor, the instrument can be mounted nearby on a pipe or wall or in a remote
location up to 61 m (200 ft) by connecting the sensor through a standard 3-8050-1 universal junction box. Standard
cable length is 7.6 m (25 ft). Use Signet fittings for proper seating of the sensor into the process flow.
