3 Installation
3.7 Clamp-on sensor mounting
Before the sensors can be mounted
●
the installation location should have been determined,
●
a sensor mounting method should be chosen,
●
the flowmeter must be mechanically and electrically installed,
●
the sensors must be connected to the flowmeter.
Depending on which sensor mounting method is being used, the clamp on sensors
are either mounted on the same side of the pipe (Reflection Mode) or on opposite
sides of the pipe (Diagonal Mode). The sensor spacing is calculated by the
flowmeter from the pipe parameters entered.
3.7.1 Sensor pipe mounting configurations
3.7.2 Acoustic coupling gel
In order to obtain acoustical contact between the pipe and the sensors, apply a
bead of acoustic coupling gel lengthwise down the centre of the contact area of the
sensors.
