Using the Universal Transducer Clamp Assembly and Centering
Rings
The universal transducer clamp assembly frees the operator from holding the transducer
treatment (radiating) head in the coupling water and prevents transducer movement, ensuring
more accurate and stable readings. The centering rings help to properly center and aim the
transducer head in the tank.
1. Insert the support post in the mounting collar located at the
rear of the unit. Securely tighten by hand. Do not use
pliers to tighten post.
2. Center the transducer clamp assembly over the transducer well, as shown,
using the clamp hook to tighten it into place.
3. Place a centering ring, with the hole sized to fit the transducer,
on top of the well. The centering ring helps assure that the
sound head is properly centered and aimed vertically toward the
transducer cone. NOTE: It is very important to carefully center
and aim the transducer straight onto the cone to obtain accurate
readings.
4. Loosen the side screw of the clamp assembly so that clamp rotation is easy,
and roughly center the clamp opening over the transducer well for vertical
transducers without handles (as shown in A), or position it such that it aligns
with the transducer handle (as shown in Figure B below).
