3.7
Clamp-on sensor mounting
Before the sensors can be mounted
●
the installation location should have been determined,
●
a sensor mounting method should be chosen,
●
the flowmeter batteries must be sufficiently charged,
●
the sensors must be connected to the transmitter.
Depending on which sensor mounting method is being used, the clamp on
sensors are either mounted on the same side of the pipe (Reflection Mode)
or on opposite sides of the pipe (Diagonal Mode – See Section 2.5).

3.7.2
Acoustic coupling gel
In order to obtain acoustical contact between the pipe and the sensors, apply
a bead of acoustic coupling gel lengthwise down the centre of the contact
area of the sensors.
3.7.3
Correct positioning of the sensors
Mount the transducer pair so that the front edges of the sensors (opposite
the cable entry) face each other.
