3.1 General safety instructions
Specific for sensors:
Specific for converters:
INFORMATION!
Four steps are needed to start a measurement on a new location:
1. Find a suitable location and determine some basic data of the pipe.
2. Initialise the UFC 300 P converter and enter the data from step 1. The converter advises a mea-
surement mode.
3. Mount the sensor rails as advised for the chosen measurement mode.
4. Perform an optimisation loop and make small changes in the position of the transducers.
These four steps are described in section 3.2...3.5.
WARNING!
In general, devices from the manufacturer may only be installed, commissioned, operated and
maintained by properly trained and authorized personnel.
This document is provided to help you establish operating conditions, which will permit safe and
efficient use of this device.
WARNING!
• Be careful when locking the rail back on to the mounting units as your fingers may get stuck
between rail and pipe it is mounted on. This may cause injury.
• Be careful when mounting the fixation units using the metal strap. The edge of the strap may
cause injury.
CAUTION!
• Do not bend the metal mounting strap. This may cause improper mounting of the fixation
units of the sensor rails.
• Protect the pipe contact side of the transducer. Scratches or other damages may have a
negative impact on its proper functioning.
• Before fitting the transducer to the transducer knob in the sensor rail, check the connection
groove of the transducer cover for damages or dirt. Clean or replace when dirty or damaged.
• Check sensor cabling with regular intervals for damages and wear as this may cause
improper functioning. Replace when necessary.
• Check presence of sufficient grease on the transducer pipe contact side in case of acoustic
signal failure.
• Check the sensor rail sliding area regularly for dirt or other pollution or excess coupling fat,
that may cause improper functioning.
• Excess of coupling fat may be removed from the sensor rails and transducers with a dry piece
of cloth. Coupling fat on the converter housing may be removed using soapy water.
WARNING!
Be careful moving the handle of the converter, as your fingers may get stuck between the handle
and the housing of the converter. This may cause injury.
