Mounting Rail System Installation for DTTR

For remote flow DTTR transducers with outside diameters between 2…10 inches (50…250 mm), the rail mounting kit aids

in installation and positioning of the transducers . Transducers slide on the rails, which have measurement markings that are

viewable through the sight opening .

1 . Install the single mounting rail on the side of the pipe with the stainless steel bands provided . Do not mount it on the top

or bottom of the pipe . On vertical pipe, orientation is not critical . Check that the track is parallel to the pipe and that all

four mounting feet are touching the pipe .

2 . Slide the two transducer clamp brackets toward the center mark on the mounting rail .

3 . Place a single bead of couplant, approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, on the flat face of the transducer .

See

Figure 20 on page 23

4 . Place the first transducer in between the mounting rails near the zero point on the scale . Slide the clamp over the

transducer . Adjust the clamp and transducer so the notch in the clamp aligns with the zero on the scale . See

Figure 26

5 . Secure with the thumb screw . Check that the screw rests in the counter bore on the top of the transducer . (Excessive

pressure is not required . Apply just enough pressure so that the couplant fills the gap between the pipe and transducer .)

6 . Place the second transducer in between the mounting rails near the dimension derived in the transducer spacing section,

while using the alignment marks . Read the dimension on the mounting rail scale . Slide the transducer clamp over the

transducer and secure with the thumb screw .

Mounting Track Installation for DTTN/DTTH

A convenient transducer mounting track can be used for pipes that have outside diameters between 2…10 inches

(50…250 mm) or 2…16 inches (50…406 mm) and for DTTN/DTTH transducers . If the pipe is outside of that range, mount the

transducers separately .
1 . Install the single mounting rail on the side of the pipe with the stainless steel bands provided . Do not mount it on the top

or bottom of the pipe . On vertical pipe, orientation is not critical . Check that the track is parallel to the pipe and that all

four mounting feet are touching the pipe .

2 . Slide the two transducer clamp brackets toward the center mark on the mounting rail .

3 . Place a single bead of couplant, approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, on the flat face of the transducer .
