PREPARING TO MOUNT THE TRANSDUCERS

Installing the transducers is fairly straightforward. However, careful planning will avoid
any snags that may delay the installation. Previously, based on the input you fed into the
meter's computer, it had recommended the transducers size, mounting option and spacing.
With the transducers at hand, we are now ready to mount them. But first, some very im-
portant preliminary work must be done which consists of:
Selecting a mounting option for your application
Selecting a location on the pipe
Preparing the pipe to accept the transducers
NOTE: When installing transducers, do not key in the V/M (Version/Modification) la-
bel number as the Transducer Size.

3.3.1 HOW TO IDENTIFY 1011 TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE

1011 series of universal transducers and mounting frames have the following color-codes for
easy identification:
GOLD ...................... SIZE 'A'
BLUE....................... SIZE 'B'
RED ......................... SIZE 'C'
The transducer part number located on the front face provides a more detailed identification.
For example, the Part Number: 1011PPS-C2 means:
MODEL
PORTABLE
3.3.2 SELECTING A LOCATION FOR CLAMP- ON TRANSDUCERS
Do not (if possible) install the transducers downstream from a throttling valve, a mixing
tank, the discharge of a positive displacement pump or any other equipment that could
possibly aerate the liquid. The best location will be as free as possible from flow distur-
bances, vibration, sources of heat, noise, or radiated energy.
Avoid mounting the transducers on a section of pipe with any external scale. Remove all
scale, rust, loose paint, etc., from the location.
