SENSOR COUPLING
For permanent bonding, the following are recommended:
IMPORTANT:
Coupling tape is recommended for installations where the sensors cannot easily be accessed in the
future to reapply coupling compound, or in installations where the coupling compound may wear away faster
than normal (>250 deg F or where submersion is frequent). The coupling tape is subject to greater signal
attenuation than the coupling compound, so using coupling compound is recommended when it is possible to
periodically reapply the coupling in the future. If you would prefer a maintenance free installation, you can use the
coupling tape at initial installation, but may need to switch to coupling compound if you do not have a strong
enough signal.
1a)
Coupling Tape (supplied) Additional supply: Option CT.
1b)
Super Lube® (supplied)
Additional supply: order Option CC-SL30 or your local home improvement store.
For temporary bonding, the following are recommended:
c)
Electrocardiograph gel
d)
Petroleum gel (Vaseline)
DO NOT USE
: Silicon RTV caulking compound (silicon rubber).
Use the pipe clamp and alignment bar (supplied) as illustrated on previous page.
Apply Super Lube® to the colored face of the sensor. A bead, similar to toothpaste
on a toothbrush, is ideal. Do not overtighten (crush the sensor).
Cut the coupling tape to the length of one transducer. Remove the backing paper
from one side of the tape, and apply it to the face of the transducer, as shown to
the left. Remove the remaining backing paper from the other side of the coupling
tape, and you are ready to insert the transducer into the mounting bracket.
The sensor must be fixed securely to the pipe with coupling material
between the sensor face and the pipe. Sensor installation with excessive
coupling compound can result in gaps or voids in the coupling and cause
errors or loss of signal. Insufficient coupling compound will create similar
conditions.
Over time temporary coupling compounds (e.g. Petroleum Gel) may gradually sag away from the sensor resulting
in reduced signal strength and finally complete loss of signal. Warm temperatures, moisture and vibration will
accelerate this process. Coupling tape and Super Lube® as supplied with the TTFM 6.1 (and available from Pulsar
Measurement or home improvement stores) is recommended for permanent installations.
