3.3.2 T-Slot transducer removal without extractor tool
This procedure requires venting the line pressure prior to removing the transducer(s).
Before removing and installing transducer(s), connect to the meter using Daniel MeterLink
and collect and save a Maintenance Log.
NOTICE
The following instructions are for transducer removal and installation without the use of
an extractor tool. It is recommended that one work on one transducer assembly at a time
to reduce the possibility of improper assembly with respect to transducer lengths and
location.
• Transducers are always replaced in pairs.
• Update the calibration parameters for every chord when replacing a pair of
transducers. Refer to Modifying the calibration parameters for T-Slot transducers.
