D010-2102-010 Mounting Track Installation
1. The
D010-2102-010 transducer mounting track is used for
pipes that have outside diameters between 2 and 10 inches
(50-250 mm). If the pipe is outside of that range, select a
standard V-Mount or Z-Mount mounting method.
2. Install the single mounting rail on the side of the pipe with the
stainless steel bands provided. Do not mount it on the top or
bottom of the pipe. 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.
3. Slide the two transducer clamp brackets towards the center,
5 inch (125 mm) mark on the mounting rail.
4. Place a single bead of couplant, approximately 1/2 inch
(12 mm) thick, on the flat face of the transducer. See Figure 2.4
on page 2.9.
5. Place the first transducer in between the mounting rails near
the zero point on the scale. Slide the clamp over the transducer.
Adjust the clamp/transducer so that the notch in the clamp
aligns with zero on the scale. See Figure 2.12 on page 2.17.
