Set transducer positions for both rails according to the table below.
Measure the outer diameter of the pipe with a measuring band.
For Z-mode, you must install the DOWN rail at the opposite location at the pipe. There are two
possible ways to find the exact location:
1. FIND THE LOCATION WITH A FIXED REFERENCE POINT
Calculate the half of the outer diameter. Mark this 180° alignment line on the pipe.
• Mount the DOWN rail in such a way that the transducer is at the marked location.
2. FIND THE LOCATION WITH THE SUPPLIED POSITIONING TOOL

1 Measure the distance between the transducer of the UP rail and the reference point.
2 Add the Advised Distance and mark the location on the alignment line.
