Wavetrak can check the calibration of the Receiver and re-
calibrate as necessary. Contact Wavetrak for more information.
Power up the transmitter. Before placing it into use in the
pipeline, a function test should be conducted with the receiver to
ensure that the correct signal strength is being generated by the
transmitter, and that the receiver is operational. Once the open
air test is complete, fasten the transmitter to the tool. When
installing the transmitter into the pig, ensure that it is placed cap
end first. Also, check that there is enough clearance between the
transmitter and the pipe wall so that there is no danger of the
transmitter rubbing on the pipe. (Refer to: MOUNTING
PRECATIONS in the WT-Ex Transmitter User Manual). Locate the
transmitter and ensure transmitter is operational prior to launch.
(Refer to: LOCATING THE TRANSMITTER AT THE LAUNCH / TRAP).
WARNING: WHEN MOUNTING A WAVETRAK TRANSMITTER,
ENSURE THAT THE TRANSMITTER WILL AT NO TIME CONTACT
THE PIPE WALL WHILE THE PIG IS TRAVELLING THROUGH THE
PIPELINE. THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. FOR Ex MODEL TRANSMITTERS, THIS WILL ALSO
CAUSE THE TRANSMITTER’S EXPLOSION PROOF FEATURES TO
LOSE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS.
