This manual contains detailed operating instructions for all aspects of
the TFXL instrument. The following condensed instructions are
provided to assist the operator in getting the instrument started up and
running as quickly as possible. This pertains to basic operation only. If
specific instrument features are to be used or if the installer is
unfamiliar with this type of instrument, refer to the appropriate section
in the manual for complete details.
1. TRANSDUCER LOCATION
A. In general, select a mounting location on the piping system with
a minimum of 10 pipe diameters (10
the pipe inside diameter)
of straight pipe upstream and 5 straight diameters
downstream. The installation location should also be
positioned so that the pipe remains full when the liquid is flowing
through it. On horizontal pipes the transducers should be
located on the sides of the pipe. See
Figure 1.2
on page 1.4.
See
Table 2.1
on page 2.3 for additional configurations.
B. Select a mounting method,
Figure 1.1,
for the transducers from
Table 2.2
on page 2.5, based on pipe size and liquid
characteristics. In general, select
W-Mount
for plastic and steel
pipes flowing clean, non-aerated liquids in the 1-6 inch (25-150
mm) internal diameter range. Select
V-Mount
for pipes of all
materials and most liquids in pipe sizes from 3-16 inches (75-
400 mm). Select
Z-Mount
for pipes larger than 16 inches (400
mm).
C. Enter the parameters listed in
Table 1.1
via the TFXL
ULTRALINK™
software utility.
D. Record the value calculated and displayed as Transducer
Spacing.
