Chapter 2. Clamp-on fixture and transducer installation
2.3 Installing a general clamping fixture and transducer system
Both the C-RS and C-PT transducers are mounted on the pipe with the Panametrics general clamping fixture (GCF).
For detailed installation instructions refer to following:
• C-RS transducer installation Guide (Panametrics document #916-077)
• C-PT transducer installation Guide (Panametrics document #916-074)
2.3.1 Installing C-RS or C-PT transducers with an RG316 cable
The standard AT6 transducer cable is an RG316 cable with an SMA connector on the transducer end. To connect the
BNC connector on the C-RS or C-PT transducer to the SMA connector on the AT6 transducer cable, a BNC to SMA
adapter is needed. See figure 22 below and install the cable adapter on the transducer end of your AT6 cable.

2.3.2 Installing C-RS or C-PT transducers with an RG62 cable
The AT600 flow meter can be connected directly to a C-RS or C-PT transducer with an optional RG62 cable, which has
a BNC connector at transducer end. Thus, the BNC to SMA adapter is not needed.
This RG62 cable has a submersible cable option for the C-RS transducer. Also, there is a junction box option for the
C-RS and C-PT transducers, which provides extra physical protection for the BNC connection on the transducer.
