  • Page 25: Section 6: Installation

    Section 6: Installation Note: During installation, be sure to record the exact values of the baseline of the Transducers. If possible, the face to face should be recorded as well. This will be further explained below. These values will assist with configuring the device later. It is recommended that you bring a laser range finding device, or tape measurer, to measure out your baseline values after installation.

  • Page 26: Calculating The Baseline

    6.2.3 Calculating the Baseline It is recommended that the airflow Transducers be installed such that the face-to-face vector intersects the direction of flow at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees. This can be achieved by installing the Transducers with the proper baseline. The baseline is the separation downstream between the two Transducers.

  • Page 28: Drift Transducers

    Please refer to the applicable section below for your Transducer Type installation. 6.2.5 Drift Transducers When mounting the transducers to the wall, it is recommended that one be installed near the ceiling of the tunnel and the other located downstream near the bottom of the drift (figure 12). The distance downstream between the two Transducers is called the baseline.

  • Page 29: Fan Transducers

    Once the mounts are installed, thread the Transducers onto the mounts and point them at each other using pan/tilt adjustment on the mount. Once power is run to the unit these Transducers can be aligned properly using the Laser Alignment. The laser can be activated by double tapping the Transducer, or through the local menu of the transmitter or the Accutron Pro Webpage.
