4. Using a level and center punch, make two marks on the
line drawn in step 3. These marks must be separated by
the transducer spacing distance S, as calculated by the
flowmeter.

5. From one of the marks on the top of the pipe, measure
around the pipe a distance equal to 1/4 of the pipe
circumference, or a distance that will satisfy the
orientation found in Step 1. Use the center punch to
make a mark at this point.

6. From the other mark on the top of the pipe, measure
around the pipe in the opposite direction a distance
equal to 1/4 of the pipe circumference, or the same
distance used in Step 5. Use the center punch to make a
mark at this point.

7. Center one of the blocks over one of the center punch
marks on the side of the pipe. Align the block so that the
pressure bolt is directly over the punch mark. Secure the
block by wrapping the two steel straps around both the
block and the pipe and tightening the straps.

8. Repeat Step 7 to install the other block on the pipe.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure both straps are perpendicular to the bottom of
the block. If the straps are slanted, the slack will cause the
block to move. Also, the transducer spacing dimension
may change after the transducers are mounted.
