6.3 Mounting Transducers into the GCF (cont.)
3. On one of the transducers, apply a thin bead of couplant down the center of its face approximately the size of a
toothpaste bead.
Note: To prevent the loss of couplant, do not slide the transducer with couplant along the surface of the pipe when
mounting.
4. Place the two transducers into the blocks. Make sure the junction box faces away from the mounting block as
shown below.
Note: If the transducer cables are already connected to the flowmeter, you must identify the upstream and
downstream cables and connect them to the appropriate transducers.
5. Use the pressure bolt on the block to secure one of the transducers in place. The pressure bolt should fit into the
dimple in the transducer body. Hand-tighten the bolt just enough to hold the transducer in place. Do not overtighten
the bolt, or the clamping fixture may lift off the pipe.
6. Tighten the locking nut on the pressure bolt (see Figure 4 on page 7).
