Chapter 2. InstallationTransPort ® PT900 User’s Manual 172.5.5 Installing the TransducersTo install the transducers into the mounting bracket, complete the following steps:1. If necessary, loosen the thumb screw on the movable transducer clamp topermit axial positioning.2. Note that the fixed transducer clamp is set at the zero mark on the scale.Position the movable transducer clamp so that it aligns with the mark onthe bracket’s graduated scale that matches the calculated transducerspacing. Measurement markings should be read on the side of thetransducer clamp indicated by the arrows. Typically, set the holder on theleft to the zero position and the other holder to the desired spacing.Figure 18: Secure the Fixture to the PipeNote: The required spacing between the transducers varies based on manyfactors. The tablet APP automatically calculates your transducer spacing.(see “Viewing the Transducer Spacing” on page 73).3. Tighten the thumb screw to lock the movable transducer clamp into place,being cautious not to disturb the established axial positioning.Fixed Clamp(at zero)Movable Clamp(at transducer spacing)
