Step 3: Installation of the transducers in the transducer mounting fixture Variofix C
• Stick coupling foil (or apply some coupling compound for a short-term installation) on the contact surface of the
transducers. The coupling foil can be fixed to the contact surface with a small amount of coupling compound.
• Position the transducers on the rail in such way that the engravings on them form an arrow. The transducer cables show
in opposite directions (see Fig. 6.48).
• Adjust the transducer distance displayed by the transmitter (see Fig. 6.48).
• Slide the spring clips on the transducers (see Fig. 6.49).
• Fix the transducers by tightening the tensioning screws slightly. The end of the tensioning screw has to be placed above
the hole in the transducer (see Fig. 6.48 and Fig. 6.49).
• Correct the transducer distance, if necessary.
• Tighten the tensioning screws.
• Fix the spacing element on the rail to mark the transducer position (see Fig. 6.48).
• Use a cable tie to fix the transducer cables in order to protect them from mechanical strain (see Fig. 6.49).
• Put the cover on the rail (see Fig. 6.50).
• Tighten the screws on both sides of the cover.
Notice!
If the signal is not sufficient for the measurement, use coupling compound instead of coupling foil. For information
concerning the coupling foil or coupling compound, see the safety data sheet.
