Context
This circular transducer is designed to be mounted using clamping and mounting rings. The mounting ring is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer. Bolts through the clamping ring into the mounting ring will secure the transducer in place.
Observe the guidance notch on the mounting ring. This notch must point UP! Observe the arrow on the clamping ring indicating "up". The clamping ring is also fitted with a guide bolt to ensure correct fit.
NoteObserve the physical size and weight of the transducer. Unless a suitable lifting device available, make sure that enough manpower is available to lift, hold and fasten the transducer.
A transducer must always be handled as a delicate item. Wrongful actions may damage the transducer beyond repair.
