5.4d Mounting Transducers into the MCF (cont.)
6. Tighten the counter nut on the pressure bolt (see drawing in step 5 on page 38).
IMPORTANT:
When using the MCF in a pipe location with possible mechanical vibration, the locking nut must be used
to secure the position of the pressure bolt on the transducer after the bolt has been hand-tightened into the
transducer dimple. For additional resistance to vibration a thread lock compound or a stainless steel
washer and lock washer may also be used. These items can be ordered from GE by requesting a "special"
clamping fixture and specifying either the thread lock or the washers.
7. Repeat Steps 1 to 6 to mount the other transducer in the remaining block. See Figure 12 for completed installations.
WARNING! Before performing the next step make sure the power to the flowmeter electronics is
disconnected.
8. Make transducer cable connections as described in the Installation chapter of the Startup Guide.
WARNING! If your fixture is installed at an elevated location, GE recommends securing the fixture with the
optional safety chain or a tether/leash to prevent injury if the fixture falls off the pipe.
Note: If you have mounted the transducers into the MCF properly, the two transducer cable connectors will face
away from each other as shown in Figure 12.
