Installation of the transducers
6.2.2.1
Orientation of the transducers and determination of the transducer
distance
Observe the orientation of the transducers. If the transducers have been mounted prop-
erly, the engravings on the transducers form an arrow, see Fig. 6.7. The transducer ca-
bles show in opposite directions.
The transducer distance measured between the inner edges of the transducers.
6.2.2.2
Installation of transducers with fastening shoes and chains
• Insert the transducers into the fastening shoes. Turn the screw on top of the fastening
shoes by 90° to engage and lock its end in the groove on top of the inserted transducer.
• Insert the ruler into the lateral slot of the fastening shoes. Adjust the displayed transduc-
er distance, see section 9.3. Fix the transducers with the plastic screws on the trans-
ducer cable side of the fastening shoes.
• Place the fastening shoes/ruler assembly on the pipe at the measuring point. Insert the
last ball into the slot on the upper side of one of the fastening shoe.
• Place the chain around the pipe.
• Tighten the chain and insert it into the other slot of the fastening shoe.
Notice!
Handle the transducer cable with care. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, especially at
simultaneous strain.
