Verifying the Installation

To verify that the installation is working properly, complete the following steps:
1. Power up the electronics.
Refer to Displaying Diagnostics in the flowmeter Service or User's Manual to display the upstream and
2.
downstream transducer signal strength.
3. Record this data in the Service Record in the appendix provided for this purpose in the flowmeter Service or User's
Manual .
4. Verify that the signal strength diagnostics readings are the same or better after 8 hours of operation.
This completes the installation of the FTPA buffers and transducers. Refer to the flowmeter Startup Guide or User's
Manual for instructions on obtaining flow rate measurements.
BWT™ System Installation Guide
Do not place insulation on or around the transducer or junction box. The transducer and
junction box act as a heat sink that protects the transducer from high and low
temperatures.
While the epoxy cures, do not remove, re-torque or adjust the transducer or you will
crack the epoxy.
