To Mount Transducers on a 996PSP Pipe Simulator:
Using coupling compound, mount the transducers on the pipe simulator as shown on the
previous page. Slide each transducer until it presses against a pin-stop. Use the clamps to
hold the transducer in place.
Connect cables between each transducer and the computer connectors for the chan-
nel under test. The Up and Down orientation is not important.
Access the Installation Menu. Select [Meter Type] [Single, Dual, or Quad Channel] de-
pending on meter type. Select the meter channel (1,2,3, or 4) depending on which measure-
ment channel you intend to test. Select [Clamp-On] and then [Channel Setup].
Access [Channel/Path Setup] menu. Move highlight to [Create/Name Site]. Create a new
Site Setup (e.g., TEST1). You can now enter data without altering an existing Site Setup.
Select the [Pipe Data] Menu. Referencing either the English or metric pipe simulator
chart below, enter the pipe parameters corresponding to the transducer size under test.
Upon the completion of the [Install] procedure, the computer should report a sonic velo-
city within the range of approximately 1350m/s to 1700 m/s (depending on the transducer size
under test). Next, check the [Diagnostic Data] menu. The [Valc %] item must be >35 for
dependable operation. Confirming these values certifies that the entire system (computer,
transducers, cables) is operating correctly. The investigation should proceed to a review of all
site conditions to locate the operating problem.
2.10.3 USING THE 996PSP PIPE SIMULATOR
Using the proper coupling compound, mount the transducers on the pipe simulator as shown
below. Slide each transducer until it presses against a pin-stop. Use the clamping screws to
hold the transducers in place.
