3.2 CHOOSING THE TRANSDUCER
When you purchased your gauge you should have also purchased a suitable transducer for your
application. If you have not yet done so, refer to "Transducers" on page 38, which will help you identify the
correct transducer type. Alternatively contact Elcometer NDT, your local Elcometer NDT supplier or visit
www.elcometerndt.com.
3.3 FITTING THE TRANSDUCER
The transducer (Figure 3) transmits and receives ultrasonic
sound waves that the gauge uses to calculate the thickness of
the material being measured.
The transducer connects to the gauge via the attached cable,
and two coaxial connectors. When using transducers
manufactured by Elcometer NDT, the orientation of the dual
coaxial connectors is not critical; either plug may be fitted to
Figure 3. Typical Transducer
either socket.
The transducer must be used correctly in order for the gauge to produce accurate, reliable measurements.
