2.2 Installing a CF-ES Clamp-On Fixture and Transducer System
To use the AT600 flow meter on 0.5 to 2 in. (15 to 50 mm) pipes, the CF-ES clamp-on fixture must be used.
UTXDR or CF-LP transducers are available for installation in this fixture. Note the following specifications:
• UTXDR Transducer: Use cable adapter p/n 704-1678-LF with the AT6 transducer cable,
-40 to +120°C (-40 to +248°F) Temperatures, 4 MHz Frequency
• CF-LP Transducer: Use cable adapter p/n 210-410-LF with the AT6 transducer cable,
up to 230°C (446°F) Temperatures, 4 MHz Frequency.
Detailed installation instructions for this fixture and transducer are available in BHGE document #916-082.
2.3 Installing a General Clamping Fixture and Transducer System
Both the C-RS and C-PT transducers are mounted on the pipe with the BHGE General Clamping Fixture (GCF).
For detailed installation instructions refer to following:
• C-RS Transducer Installation Guide (BHGE document #916-077)
• C-PT Transducer Installation Guide (BHGE document #916-074)
2.3.1 Installing C-RS or C-PT Transducers with an RG316 Cable
The standard AT6 transducer cable is an RG316 cable with an SMA connector on the transducer end. To
connect the
BNC connector on the C-RS or C-PT transducer to the SMA connector on the AT6 transducer
cable, a BNC to SMA Adapter is needed. See Figure 22 below and install the cable adapter on the transducer
end of your AT6 cable.
