Mounting Track Installation

1.

Install the single mounting track on the pipe in an orienta-
tion suggested by Figure 2.5 (minus the rail mounted
across the pipe) with the stainless steel bands provided.
Orientation on vertical pipe is not critical. Ensure that the
track is parallel to the pipe and that all four mounting feet
are touching the pipe.

2.

Slide the two transducer clamp brackets towards the cen-
ter, 5 inch [125 mm] mark, on the mounting rail.

3.

Place a single bead of couplant, approximately 3/8 inch [6
mm] thick, on the flat face of the transducer. See Figure
2.10
. Use Dow 732 for permanent and Dow 44 for tempo-
rary (less that six months) installations. [High temperature
installations require the use of Dow 112 and silicone pads.]

4.

Place the first transducer in between the mounting rails
near the zero point on the mounting rail scale. Slide the
transducer clamp over the transducer. Adjust the clamp/
transducer such that the notch in the clamp aligns with
zero on the scale. See Figure 2.11.
