Transducer Installation
Handling and unpacking
It’s better not to unpack it before installing it to designated location to avoid damage.
DO NOT heavily throw the flowmeter or press heavily on it, especially the probe
surface, or the sealing surface may be damaged.
After unpacking, protect the probe and converter. DO NOT place the probe at free will
on the floor with no cushions or other unsmooth surface.
The flowmeter is kept unused for a long time
After the flowmeter is installed, try not to keep it unused for a long time; if you have to
do so, you must take the following measures:
A.
Check the sealability of end covers and connection ports and ensure that no
dampness or water enters inside the converter. DO check it regularly and check each
measure mentioned above and the connection box at least once per year.
B.
If the converter may be immersed in water (after a heavy rain or thunderstorm),
check the converter immediately.
Transducer installation spacing
Before mechanical installation of the ultrasonic flowmeter, please follow the way
described in Article [4.4 Quick Start] to set related parameters of the pipe and fluid,
and obtain value L of the installation spacing in M14 menu.
Installation spacing of the clamp-on transducer should be the distance between its two
end surfaces; while that of the insert-in transducer should be the distance between the
axis center of two transducers.
