Generally, a Transmitter is located after a cooking, frying or extruding process prior to the packaging area. The Transmitter is often placed over a conveyor, usually at a distance of about 12 inches from the product.

When installing a Sensor, it is important to keep environmental temperature in mind, especially after oven outlets. If the temperature is above 60°C, it may be necessary to cool the Transmitter with air or water.
