Transducer And Cabling Checkout - Accusonic 8510+ series Reference Manual

4-4 Accusonic Model 8510+ Series Flowmeter
1. Strip outer sheath back 2 inches (50mm), exposing braided shield.
2. Pierce the braid, snake inner conductors and insulation out.
3. Twist braid tightly, trim to 1.5 inches (35mm), attach forked lug, crimp and solder.
4. Trim inner conductors to 1.5 inches (35mm), strip 3/8 inch(10 mm) of insulation.
5. Attach lugs, crimp and solder.

Transducer and Cabling Checkout

Perform the following three steps to verify the transducer cabling and transducers:
Note: The transducer and cabling checkout is performed by Accusonic during the commissioning
of a newly installed system.
Step 1 - Verify Resistance for Each Transducer with Cable Attached
Measure the resistance across the transducer cable using a MegOhm-meter (high voltage ohmmeter, 500V
d.c. minimum) set to the highest resistance range. If the transducer cables have already been terminated to
the flowmeter, remove the cables from the flowmeter prior to performing any resistance testing.
For coaxial cable, test conductor to shield, conductor to ground and shield to ground. For twin-axial cable,
test conductor to conductor, each conductor to shield, each conductor to ground, and shield to ground.
Each transducer cable should measure infinite resistance for newly installed transducers and transducer
