Datasheet - 500 series magnetic sensor fixture

Magnetic sensor mounting fixtures can be used for mounting WT100/101 (clamp specific), WT200
and WT210 series sensors as an alternative sensor mounting solution to stud welding or clamping on
pipes and vessels. Each fixture accommodates one sensor and it is fixed onto the pipe using only the
pull forces provided by the magnets.
Refer to 'Installation guide - 500 series magnetic sensor fixture'.
Refer to the datasheet for the relevant sensor model being installed.
