Reflect Mode With Ez Clamp And Spacer Bar - Siemens SITRANS F Operating Instructions Manual

Section 3
3.1.5 REFLECT MODE WITH EZ CLAMP AND SPACER BAR ONLY
The EZ Clamp is a quick and easy way to securely mount transducers on any pipe. The spacer bar
eliminates manual spacing measurements and provides rigidity for mounting the transducers while
maintaining axial alignment.

INSTALLATION - REFLECT MOUNT WITH EZ CLAMP AND SPACING BAR
1. Perform all required menu steps until the flow computer issues the number index and prompts you
to press [ENT] to finish the transducer install routine. Stop at this point. Note the number index value
displayed in the Pick/Install menu. You will use this number to properly space the transducers.
Check to ensure that you have a matched set of transducers. They both should have the same S/N
number but marked with either an "A" or "B" (e.g., 100A and 100B).
2. Assemble the transducers to the spacer bar, with the cable connectors facing away from each
other as shown above. The spacer bar is attached to a transducer using a transducer index screw.
One transducer is attached using the "REF" hole on the spacer bar. The second transducer is
attached to the spacer at the index hole specified in Step 1. Note that in some cases, the transduc-
ers may have two sets of holes for securing the transducers. When using the EZ Clamp assembly,
use the lower set of holes when attaching the spacer bar.
3. Temporarily position the assembly (in the 9 o'clock position) at the location where you have deter-
mined it would be mounted. Ensure that this is a smooth area without any raised spots (seams,
etc.). Mark a generous area around the transducers (with a pencil or chalk) where they contact the
pipe. Remove the assembly.
4. Prepare the two areas you marked by de-greasing the surface, if needed, and removing any grit,
corrosion, rust, loose paint or surface irregularities with the abrasive pipe conditioning material
provided.
5. Remove the transducer from the spacer bar that was attached through the REF hole. Attach the EZ
clamp to the transducer under the spring clip. The adjusting nut knob should be pointing up and on
the side opposite of the spacer bar. Unscrew the knob until it's at the stop.
