6. Skip to step 10 on the next page.
7. Insert the transducers into the mounting blocks, making sure the BNC connectors (or junction boxes) point away
from the center of the fixture (see the figure above). Slightly tighten the pressure bolts to hold the transducers in
place while the couplant begins to spread. Wait one minute.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wrench or pliers on the pressure bolts.
8. Turn the pressure bolts 1/4 turn and wait one minute again. Do not overtighten the pressure bolts or the mounting
fixture will be forced away from the pipe surface.
9. Repeat step 8 a second time, and then proceed to step 10 on the next page.
10. For permanent applications, tighten the locking nuts with a wrench to maintain constant pressure and to prevent
loosening of the transducers due to vibration and thermal expansions.

Having completed installation of the V Series Clamping Fixture and the transducers, you should now do all of the
following:
• Refer to the installation section of your flowmeter
Startup Guide to make the transducer electrical connections.
The cables shall be secured at the junction boxes to prevent twisting and pulling.
• Make a note of the installation date and set a schedule for periodic inspection and tightening of the clamping
fixture nuts to ensure that the clamping fixture does not become loose and fall, possibly causing injury.
