Rev. 01/11 - 2.1 - TFXL-X
The transducers that are utilized by the Series TFXL contain
piezoelectric crystals for transmitting and receiving ultrasound
signals through walls of liquid piping systems. DTTN and DTTH
transducers are relatively simple and straight-forward to install, but
spacing and alignment of the transducers is critical to the
system's accuracy and performance. DTTS and DTTC, small-pipe
transducers, have integrated transmitter and receiver elements that
eliminate the requirement for spacing measurement and alignment.
Extra care should be taken to ensure that these instructions are
carefully executed.
Mounting of the DTT clamp-on ultrasonic transit time transducers is
comprised of three steps. In general, these steps consist of:
1. Selection of the optimum location on a piping system.
2. Entering the pipe and liquid parameters into the optional
software utility (ULTRALINK™). The software embedded in
ULTRALINK™ and TFXL firmware will calculate proper
transducer spacing based on these entries.
3. Pipe preparation and transducer mounting.
