■
Hold the crackmeter in this position while the distance between the cap
screws is measured (set inside the swivel bearings, see Figure 1).
■
This measurement can serve as a spacing guide for drilling or welding the
anchor points.
■
Use the alignment pin on the transducer shaft and slot on the body as a
guide for alignment.
■
Do not rotate the shaft of the crackmeter more than 180 degrees.
Doing so may cause irreparable damage to the instrument.
2.2.2 INSTALLATION USING WELDABLE FIXTURES

FIGURE 4:
Installation using Weldable Fixtures
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Determine the proper setting distance using the spacings listed in Table 1.
2.
Grind, sand, or otherwise prepare the surface of the steel around the area of
each weldable fixture.
3.
Position the welding fixtures on prepared surfaces.
4.
Verify the placement again, then tack weld to the member.
5.
Remove the PVC slotted sleeve or dowel pin securing the transducer shaft.
6.
Thread the cap screw through the swivel bearing and through the half-inch
spacer on each end.
7.
Tighten the cap screws into the welding fixtures as depicted in Figure 4.
8.
Check and record the reading with a portable readout. Use Table 2 or the
readings on the calibration sheet to check the position.
