Chapter 2
Installation of the ADFM transducer assembly must also comply with the
following parameters to maintain the accuracy of the final installation:
•
Transducer must be installed in such a way that the vertical beam
(beam 5) is oriented normal with respect to the pipe’s or chan-
nel’s invert. Note that the vertical beam is normal to the trans-
ducer’s top surface.
•
Transducer must not be rotated about the vertical Z-axis. A sight-
ing device or similar should be used to minimize rotational mis-
alignment.
•
Transducer must be installed such that positive longitudinal flow
direction is from the “non-cable” side of the transducer to the
“cable” side. See Figure 2-38 below for further explanation of
the flow direction.

Before the ADFM can be used in a specific application, it must be
programmed for that application. This is most easily done using the
WinADFM software. See
Chapter 3 and the Software Manual for further
details.
