2. Connect the rod to the Swagelok fitting on the
bottom anchor, pushing it in until it hits the
shoulder. Tighten the Swagelok finger tight, then
an additional 7 flats (1¼ turns). Use two
wrenches to do this, one on the Swagelok nut, the
other on the body. See Appendix D for
additional Swagelok fitting assembly
instructions.
Connect the other end of the rod to the Swagelok
fitting on the first transducer assembly using the
same two wrenches. Repeat this for all the rods
and sensors, leaving the instrument cables rolled
up.
Finally, attach an appropriate length of rod to the
top anchor, this will allow for installation and
removal of the system.
3. Cut nylon inflation tubing for each anchor
position. Allow enough tubing to connect to the
pressure manifold. Attach to the Swagelok
fitting for the inflation line.
Finger tighten and then turn an additional 7 flats
(1¼ turns) to engage the ferrule. See Appendix
D for additional Swagelok fitting assembly
instructions.
4. Lay out all the transducer cables and inflation
lines next to the anchors and attached rods.
Position the lines and cables in the slots of the
anchors and tape on either side of the anchors,
i.e. tape above the anchor around the connecting
rod and below the anchor around the transducer
body. Continue this procedure at each anchor
position from the deepest up to the top. Be sure
the inflation lines and transducer cables are
clearly labeled. Allow enough slack, at least the
range of the instrument, (

25mm, 1") between
anchor positions for the movement of the
anchors.
