Installation
Installing the
Transducers
The transducers that have been specially designed for use with the
UTX878 are available in two models: 4 MHz for 1/2 to 2 in. pipes and
2 MHz for 2 to 8 in., and typically support 2-traverse applications.
The preattached cables come in lengths from 6 to 100 ft. Figure 1-1
below shows a typical UTX878 transducer, while the outline and
installation drawing for the clamping fixture appears in Figure 1-6 on
page 1-12.

Setting Transducer
Spacing
If you have not already obtained the transducer spacing, you must
program the
Status, Transducer, Pipe, Fluid
and
Path
options of the
Program
menu (pages 2-4 to 2-14) to calculate the appropriate
setting. To set the desired transducer spacing:
1.
Loosen the red screws on the adjustable transducer (shown in
Figure 1-1 above).
2.
Slide the adjustable transducer on the rails until you have
positioned it at the desired spacing. Use the ruler on the rails and
the white tick mark on the transducer housing to assist in setting
the correct spacing.
3.
Tighten the red screws to secure the transducer to the rails.
Note:
If your application requires one or three traverses, you can
remove the adjustable transducer from the rails and use it as a
separate transducer at a 180° angle from the stationary
transducer, as shown in Figure 1-2 below.
