Product specification
Product specification
This installation manual exclusively refers to the installation of pipe mounting systems in
pipelines. The pipe mounting systems are mainly used for portable flow measurements.
All pipe mounting systems are made of stainless steel 1.4404.
The pipe mounting systems are installation aids for the following wedge sensors:

CS2

CSM

KDA

POA
Air-ultrasonic sensors below can be installed too:

DSM

OCL
The technical data of the sensors are listed in the corresponding manuals.
6 Overview Pipe Mounting Systems
Four different sets are available:

RMS 2 – Pipe mounting set for pipes DN200 to DN800

RMS 3 – Pipe mounting set for pipes DN150 to DN300

RMS 4 – Combination of RMS 2 and RMS 3.
Pipe mounting set for pipes DN150 to DN800

RMS 5 – Pipe mounting set for pipes DN700 to DN2000
Pipe mounting sets consist of the following elements:

Clamping device


7 Assembly of the Pipe Mounting Systems
WARNING
Check hazards caused by explosive gases!
Prior to executing mounting works in sewer systems always check compliance with all
regulations on safety at work.
Check possible hazards caused by explosive gases by using a gas detector.
Disregarding may lead to personal injury.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
The pipe mounting system sheets have very sharp edges. There is a risk of injury from
cuts.
Wear protective gloves.
Note
In larger pipe diameters it may be necessary to additionally secure the pipe mounting
system from being washed away due to high flow velocities.
Use stainless steel screws for this purpose.
7.1
Principles of Installation
The number of sheets depends on the existing inner pipe diameter.
The mounting steps for the individual pipe mounting systems are described in chapter
>Mounting<.
The following applies for the mounting of pipe mounting systems:
page 16

Observe the selection list of mounting sheets.

Place the clamping device always in the pipe crown (except when using an airultrasonic sensor).

Place the base plate on the pipe bottom.

Install the same number of required extension plates left and right between clamping
device and base plate (except when using an air-ultrasonic sensor).

Install plates parallel to the pipe walls.

Insert clamps towards the flow direction flush with the mounting plates.

Observe appropriate contact pressure on the pipe walls to prevent the mounting system from getting loose.

In larger channel diameters it may be necessary to additionally fix the pipe mounting
system on the channel walls by using stainless steel screws.

No gap shall remain between mounting plate and sensor as well as between base
plate and channel bottom (risk of build-up).

Pipe Mounting Systems
7.2
Principles of Sensor Fastening
The following applies for using air-ultrasonic sensor and wedge sensor at the same
time:

Place air-ultrasonic sensor on pipe crown.

Align air-ultrasonic sensor plane parallel to water surface.

Install clamping device immediately adjacent to air-ultrasonic sensor.

Use completion plate (optional for RMS 2-4) for wedge sensor (Fig. 6-2).
Fig. 7-1
Basic sensor fastening
With heavy dirt load or sedimentation:

Place wedge sensor off centre (towards step irons).

Lay the sensor cable to the same side as the sensor. Do not lay cables across
channel bottom.

Fix sensor cables to RMS using cable ties and lay upwards.

Assembly of pipe mounting system RMS 2
Measure the pipe diameter before you begin installation.
The table in Fig. 6-3 shows which sheets to use for which pipe diameter.

Put the RMS components on a plane surface.
Assemble base plate and extension plate.
Insert the spigots of the base plate into the
holes of the extension sheet.
Insert the clamp towards the flow direction
flush with the mounting plate.
If the clamp cannot be fastened easily use a
hammer to carefully hammer the clamp into
position.

Place flow velocity sensor
Put the flow velocity sensor onto the base
plate with the slotted holes down.
Pull sensor backwards on the base plate.
Sensor shall be arrested flush with the base
plate.
Assemble RMS completely
When the inner pipe diameter is reached:
Assemble clamping device and extension
sheet.
Insert the spigots of the clamping device into
the holes of the extension sheet.
Fasten clamping device to extension sheets
on both sides using clamps.
Prior to installation in the channel fully close
the clamping device by rotating clockwise.
Pipe mounting systems / Rev. 00 / 21.04.2017
page 19
Assembly
Insert the complete pipe mounting system
into the pipe and align accordingly.
Open the clamping device by rotating
counterclockwise until the pipe mounting
system is clamped firmly within the pipe.
Note
Always fix the cable to the RMS (small holes) by using cable ties. Do not lay the sensor
cable across the invert centre.

Assembly of pipe mounting system RMS 4
The RMS 4 is a combination of RMS 2 and RMS 3.
The selection of base plate and clamping device depends on the sensor used.
Extension sheets are determined based on the pipe diameter.

Assembly of pipe mounting system RMS 5
Note
Since the dimensions of the RMS 5 complicate the handling of the individual components
NIVUS recommends 2 persons to assemble and to install the RMS 5.
The RMS 5 pipe mounting system is designed for large inner pipe diameters. This is why
the sheets are much larger than those of the other pipe mounting systems.
7.6.1

Firstly equip the base plate with sensors and wedge supports if required.

Do not assemble the RMS 5 completely before you are on site.

Pipe Mounting Systems
Place sensors on the base plate
Up to 3 flow velocity sensors can be fixed on the base plate.
The centre flow velocity sensor shall be installed so that the slotted holes lock into the
spigots on the base plate. Here the sensor tip must face the arrow on the base plate (Fig.
7-4, point 5).
When using the flow velocity sensors below observe to use both rear slotted holes for locking:

CS2

KDA

POA
The position of both outer sensors depends on the inner pipe diameter and is based on the
Gauss specifications. The according sensor positions are marked on the base plate specifying a DN figure.
Mount outer sensors horizontally
To mount both outer flow velocity sensors horizontally two wedge supports (30°) must be
installed first.
The wedge supports are available from NIVUS.

See accessories on page 31.
The wedge supports shall be fastened at the according positions (DN markings) on the
base plate by using the accompanying countersunk head screws.
Then fix the sensor on the wedge support by using the accompanying countersunk head
screws.
RMS 5 with three sensors.
For horizontal mounting:
Mount both outer sensors on wedge
supports (30°).

Assembling the clamping device

Proceed as described in the RMS 2 mounting instructions.
1. Assemble clamping device and extension sheet.
2. Insert the spigots of the clamping device into the holes of the extension sheet.
3. Fix the clamping device at the extension sheets on both sides by using clamps.

Air-Ultrasonic sensors in the RMS 5 pipe mounting system
The type OCL and DSM air-ultrasonic sensors are conceived for temporary clamped fastening in a pipe mounting system.
As per default both air-ultrasonic sensors feature slots to slide the RMS sheets through.
The installation of air-ultrasonic sensors is described on page 23.
Fig. 7-8
Pre-installed air-ultrasonic sensor on RMS sheet
Exception:
Air-ultrasonic sensors in RMS 5. Here the slot needs to be enlarged.
Air-Ultrasonic sensor in RMS 5
Note
Type OCL or DSM air-ultrasonic sensors must be modified to be used with a RMS 5 pipe
mounting system.
The RMS 5 pipe mounting system is conceived for larger pipe diameters. This is why the
individual sheets and plates are designed with extra material thickness.
Due to this the slots of the air-ultrasonic sensor types OCL and DSM need to be larger.
The distance plates for the according air-ultrasonic sensor are part of the standard delivery
of the RMS 5.

RMS 5 standard delivery see Fig. 6-6.
Modification of Air-Ultrasonic sensor

To modify a type OCL air-ultrasonic sensor proceed as follows:
1. Loosen screws of the cover plate (2) with Phillips screwdriver Phillips size 1.
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Screw on the OCL-L1 distance plate.

Maintenance
8 Maintenance
WARNING
Germ contamination
Please note that due to the operation in the waste water field the measurement system
and cables may be loaded with dangerous disease germs. Respective precautionary
measures must be taken to avoid damage to one’s health.
Wear protective clothing.
The pipe mounting systems are made of stainless steel and thus virtually maintenancefree.
