5 System Installation
5.1 Overview
This section is for a customer who installs Branson custom tanks with Branson immersible
transducers.
All four types of immersible transducers – FC, CB, SB, and EB – mount on the sidewall or bottom
of a custom ultrasonic tank. To connect an immersible transducer or group of immersible
transducers to the power supply, you use one or more types of junction boxes.
This section details how to:
• Mount and wire the junction boxes;
• Mount and wire the immersible transducers.
Caution: Check the model number of the power supply and the model numbers on each
immersible transducer that you plan to install. Equipment damage can occur if the
ultrasonic power supply model number does not match the number of elements
connected.
Before installing, make sure that you:
• Turn off the power supply and disconnect your AC voltage source; leave disconnected until you finish
the installation.
• Drain the tank completely.
• Wire all RF connections in parallel according to the wiring diagrams.
Installation Do’s and Don’ts
Before installing equipment, read the following Do’s and Don’ts:
5.1.1 Do’s –
1. DO make sure you have all necessary system components: the RF cable, the interconnecting
jumper cables, and the junction boxes.
2. DO ensure that the frequency and number of elements (transducers) of the ultrasonic power
supply matches that of the ultrasonic tank or the total immersible transducer load.
3. DO compare the numbers on the RF cable ID label and the ID plate on the back panel of the
ultrasonic power supply to make sure they match.
4. DO turn off main power switches.
5. DO wire all immersible transducers in parallel (red-red, black-black).
6. DO make sure to ground the ultrasonic power supply in accordance with local building and
safety codes.
7. DO check the line voltage on the ID plate for the ultrasonic power supply line voltage to
ensure it matches you AC source voltage.
8. DO use stainless steel hardware whenever possible; usually #10-32 panhead screws or #10-32
weld studs, washers, and nuts.
9. DO install immersible transducers before installing junction boxes.
10. DO prepare the RF cable before installing RF cables into junction boxes. (Refer to Preparing
an RF Cable).
11. DO install FC-type immersible transducers on a mounting rack that hangs over the tank
sidewall or on the bottom of the tank. The rack must be fabricated of tank-like material, such
as 316SL stainless steel.
