The Transducer submenu enables you to enter parameters for
preprogrammed or special clamp-on transducers. Remember to
record all programmed data in Appendix C, Data Records.
Note: If you have programmed the Status submenu, proceed directly
to Step 4. If you scroll to a different option, press [ENT] twice
to select that option (once to enter and again to confirm the
selection).
To access the Transducer submenu:
1. Press [ESC]. The UTX878 enters the User Program.
2. Press the [ ] key until PROG is bracketed in the top left corner
and press [ENT].
3. Use the [ ] and [ ] keys to scroll to the desired Channel and
press [ENT].
4. Scroll to the Transducer submenu and press [ENT].
5. Scroll to Clamp-on and press [ENT].
6. Scroll to either Preprogrammed (for the standard transducers) or
Other (for special transducers), and press [ENT].
7. The program also asks for the Wedge Temperature. Scroll to the
Wedge TMP option and press [ENT]. Then use the [ ] and [ ]
keys to enter the temperature, and press [ENT].
Note: The wedge temperature of the transducer can be
approximated by inputting an average value for the surface
temperature of the outside pipe wall.
8. Do one of the following:
For preprogrammed transducers, scroll to the desired
Transducer Number (either UTXDR-407 (2 MHz) or UTXDR-
408 (4 MHz) ) and press [ENT]. Then press [ESC] three times
to return to the PROG menu.
For other transducers, proceed to Other Transducers on the
next page.
IMPORTANT: Other (special) transducers have no engraved
number on the housing and are rarely used. Examine
the transducer housing carefully for a number.
