To mount the PT9 clamp-on fixture (see Figure 7 below) on the pipe, complete the
following steps:
Figure 7: PT9 Clamp-On Fixture with CRR Transducers
1. Before mounting the clamp-on fixture, refer to Figure 8 on page 10 and
proceed as follows:
• Ensure that the chain mechanism screws (A) that are attached to the
end piece flats are fully loosened.
• Ensure that the last link on the chain is secured within the chain
mechanism screw slot (
B) on both sides of the end piece.
• Ensure that the thumb screw (C) is tightened on the movable clamp so
that no motion is allowed during the mounting process.
ATTENTION! The required transducer spacing is calculated by
the APP after you program the PIPE, FLUID, TRANSDUCER and
PLACEMENT menus. Before proceeding with this installation, you
must complete the programming starting in Chapter 4.
Programming on page 57 up to “Viewing the Transducer Spacing”
