Installation and distance between the transducers
This screen shows the theoretical distance (Dt) at which the transducers should be placed to
work in the best conditions. The practical distance (Dr) is explained in the paragraph 5.14.
To place the transducers it is essential to apply a layer of ultrasound gel at its base. This gel
is supplied with the equipment.
5.12
Fixing the transducers
The transducers should be placed so that the liquid flows from TR1 to TR2, in order that
when the liquid flows in the usual direction, the displayed flow rate has a positive sign.
It is recommended to fix initially only one of the transducers since in general there are small
differences between the theoretical and the optimal distance. The fine adjustment of the
position of the second transducer is done by using the option "Signal Strength" of the menu
(see paragraph 5.13 page 25).
In case the installation is made by means of the alignment guide, it is recommended to place
the transducer TR1 with the gel at the end of the guide so that its inner side matches the
zero point of the ruler.
