6F8A0926 4.1 Notes on Selecting the Installation Location Avoid places within the immediate proximity of equipment producing electrical interference (such as motors, transformers, radio transmitters, electrolytic cells, or other equipment causing electromagnetic or electrostatic interference). Avoid places where excessive pipe vibration occurs. Avoid places where fluid is pumped in a pulsating manner.
