MOUNTING
Basic structure of the ultrasonic transducer:
The ultrasonic transducer (F10 and F21) is made of
plastic (PEEK) that has a beige color and is protected
by means of a metal sheath. The transducer is secured
by means of a knurled screw that is passed through the
transducer support. This support can be shifted in axial
direction (arrow) with the help of the knurled screw (A).
The ultrasonic transducer type F05 consists only of the
sensor sheath and the actual ultrasonic transducer.

Before mounting the ultrasonic transducer onto the
piping, the beige transducer surface must be brought
into the position underneath the bottom edge of the
transducer support (screw transducer into support).
Apply acoustic gel on the
sensing face of the ultrasonic
transducer.
