Installation instructions;
1. Determine proper setting distance using figures in Table 1 or the readings on the calibration
sheet. Prepare the surface (grinding, sanding, etc.) of the steel around the area of each
weldable fixture.
2. Locate fixtures on prepared surfaces, check spacing again and tack weld to member.
3. Remove the nylon tie securing the transducer shaft. Screw the ball stud on each end of the
crackmeter into the respective threaded holes on the fixtures. Remove the cotter pins from
the end of each ball elbow joint and tighten the ball using a regular blade screwdriver. Re-
install the cotter pins to secure the ball locking screw.
4. Check the reading with a portable readout. Use Table 2 or the readings on the calibration
sheet to check the position. Installation complete.
Note: Under normal circumstance, the installation of transducer itself should be after the welding of
weldable fixture, after completion of transducer installation, prohibited is any welding treatment of
weldable fixture, or it may cause transducer permanent damage.CGEO will not response for any
warranty and liability of any damage caused by this. Even if performing welding under protection
cover installation, you must do it in same end of transducer grounding, simultaneously avoid
intentionally or un-intentionally touching striking arc, that is, ensure welding current not through
transducer from beginning to end. You can consult the factory for the relevant manner.
