Step 3: Mounting of the transducers in the mounting fixture PermaLok
• Stick coupling foil (or apply some coupling compound for a short-term installation) on the contact surface of the
transducer. The coupling foil can be fixed to the contact surface with a small amount of coupling compound.
• Insert the transducer into the rail.
• Position the slider on the transducer. The screw of the slider has to fit into the dugout on the top of the transducer, see
Fig. 7.31.
• Repeat the steps for the second transducer.
• Position the transducers on the rail in such a way that the engravings on them form an arrow. The transducer cables
show in opposite directions.
• Adjust the transducer distance displayed by the transmitter (see Fig. 7.66).
• Tighten the screw of the slider until the transducers are firmly pressed to the pipe surface.
• Measure once again the transducer distance. Correct it, if necessary.
• Pass the transducer cables through the cable bushing to protect them from mechanical strain.
• Check the transducer distance as described in section 10.4.
• Check transmitter for signal, then put the cover on the rail.
• Tighten the screws of the cover.
