Adjacent Side Transducer Installation
1. Program all the calibration menu items of the flow meter for the fluid and pipe
specifics to obtain the transducer mounting locations.
2. Position the large mounting clamps on the pipe in the desired location.
3. String the mounting chains from the front adjustable hook to the rear attachment
hook for both mounting clamps as shown in Figure 2-4. Start with a loose fit.
4. On the leftmost mounting clamp, tighten the chain using the thumb nut on the
front adjustable hook so that it fits tight to the pipe.
5. Using a tape measure, measure the distance between the two green (scribe) lines
on each of the large mounting clamps as shown in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6.
6. Once the distance is set, tighten the chain using the thumb nut on the front adjust-
able hook of the rightmost mounting clamp so that it fits tight to the pipe. Double
check that the spacing did not change as the chain was being tightened. If it did,
loosen the chain, set the spacing, and retighten.
7. Apply a thin coat of coupling grease to the transducers. If the coupling grease
that came with your SonoPro
® flow meter unit runs out, contact VorTek Instru-
ments to order a replacement container.
8. Place the transducers in the left and right mounting clamps. Tighten the screw
with plastic knob on the top of the mounting clamp so the end of the screw fits
into the divot on the top of the transducer. Do not overtighten.
