5.7.1.1 Cover Installation Procedure
Care must be taken during installation of the sensor band cover to
ensure the sensor band cable does not become pinched between the
cover halves. The problem may show up as a sensor failure during
sensor tests and operation of the meter. This potential problem is
most likely to occur in small size meters (<6-inch) due to the length
and stiffness of the sensor band cable.
5.7.1.2 Horizontal Pipe Installation
Sensor cover installation on horizontal pipes is as follows:
1. Install the sensor band.
2. Remove the sensor cable access panel from the sensor upper
cover assembly.
3. Install the sensor upper cover assembly over the sensor band
assembly.
4. Install the sensor lower cover assembly.
a. Hold the halves in place using the cover latches and strikes as
the cover halves are aligned. Note: Ensure the sensor cable
connector is accessible through the sensor cable access panel.
(If necessary, reposition cover or cable connector.)
5. Align the cover halves.
6. Start at the center of the cover and engage the latches and
keepers using a ¾-inch wrench or socket to lock them together
until all are attached.
