FIGURE 2.1A – RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
Do not install the transducers at the following locations:
A – Pipes may not be fullB – Down flowC – Too close to the elbowD – Air collects at the top of horizontal pipeE – Sediment collects at the bottom of horizontal pipe
Conditions existing at these locations can interfere with thetransmission of the ultrasonic wave and yieldinaccurate or unreliable flow readings.
3
2.1.1 Select an installation location.
1. Review Figure 2.1a (Recommended Installation Location), on the facing page.2. Select an installation location using Figure 2.1a and the following guidelines:
• full pipe• flow in the pipe• 5 pipe diameters upstream and 3 pipe diameters downstream from:
- a direction change on the pipe- pipe joints- a narrowing or widening of the pipe
Selecting the proper location to install the transducers is essential to flowmeasurement reliability. Each application is unique and may requirevariations in the installation location.

2.1.2 Choose a transducer orientation.
1. Review Figures 2.1b,c (Transducer Orientations on Horizontal and VerticalPipe), on the facing page.
2. Meet the following guidelines to ensure optimum meter performance:
• 3 o’clock and 9’oclock orientation• transducers parallel to one another along the pipe circumference• generous amounts of coupling compound• secure cable connections• tight pipe strap
3. IF your application does not enable you to mount the transducers at therecommended “Best” orientation, THEN choose a “Good” or “OK” transducerorientation OR choose a different location to install the transducers.
Choosing the proper transducer orientation is essential to flowmeasurement reliability. Each application is unique. You may need tovary the orientation with each application, to achieve optimum meterperformance.
NOTE

2.1.3 Attach the transducers to the pipe strap.
FIGURE 2.1D – ATTACH TRANSDUCERS TO THE PIPE STRAP
1. See Figure 2.1d - Attach Transducers to the Pipe Strap, below.2. Loosen the mounting screw on each transducer using a screwdriver.3. Slide the lock back on each transducer.4. Place the pipestrap across the mounting.5. Slide the lock back in place.6. Tighten the screw.

2.1.4 Mount the transducers on the pipe.
1. Wrap the pipe strap around the pipe.2. Slide the pipe strap end through the tension nut assembly.3. Pull the strap tight AND clamp the tension nut down to secure the pipe strap to
the pipe.4. Loosen the mounting screw of one transducer.5. Move the transducer at the 3 o’clock position on the pipe. (See Figures 2.1b,c
Transducer Orientations on Horizontal and Vertical Pipe, page 4)6. Tighten the mounting screw to secure the transducer in place.7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the second transducer, now at the 9 o’clock position.8. Remove the pipe strap from the pipe AND generously apply sonic coupling
compound to each transducer surface.9. Put the pipe strap on the pipe, placing the transducers in the proper position.
10. Tighten the tension nut assembly with a 3/8” hex nut driver securing the pipestrap.
Increasing the pipe strap tension improves signal transmission.NOTE

(section 5.4 Service continued...........)
5.4.2 Factory Service
If Polysonics determines that the problem cannot be resolved over the phone,return the entire unit to Polysonics.
Contact the Polysonics Service Center before returning an instrument for repair.Mark the RMA number issued by the service representative on the outside ofthe shipping box. The receiving dock will not accept shipments without an RMAnumber.
You must include a letter fully explaining the symptoms of the failure as well asdetails describing the application where the unit was being operated (type of fluid,pipe size, pipe material, fluid velocity, temperature, etc.). Service cannot beadequately performed until the Service Center receives this written information.
To ship an instrument to Polysonics:
1. Ensure that the instrument is well packed (in its original shipping box, ifavailable).
2. Include the letter of explanation.3. Write the RMA number of the outside of the shipping box.4. Send the unit freight-paid to the Service Center:

7.2.1 Obtain the Pipe ID.
If you do not know the pipe ID, then try to get the Outside Diameter (OD) by one ofthe following methods:
1. Read the pipe Outside Diameter (OD) and schedule on the pipe2. Read the OD and schedule from system drawings3. Measure the pipe circumference using a tape measure, and divide the
measured circumference by 3.14 (Circumference ÷ 3.14)4. For an approximate pipe ID use the OD with the charts in section 7.2.2 (Pipe
ID Charts), on pages 39-41.5. For a more accurate pipe ID use an ultrasonic pipe thickness gauge (part
#0704/0187, available from Polysonics), AND perform the followingcalculation:
pipe ID = pipe OD – (2 x pipe thickness)

FIGURE 7.3B – SIGNAL QUALITY/SIGNAL STRENGTH CHART
Failure – the meter is not reading flowAdequate – minimum quality, flow readings may be inconsistent or inaccurateGood – flow readings are fairly accurate and consistentExcellent – flow readings are accurate and consistent
To improve signal quality and signal strength see Table 5.3c (Action Codes), onpage 30.
7.3 Application Signal Quality and Signal Strength7.3 Application Signal Quality and Signal Strength7.3 Application Signal Quality and Signal Strength7.3 Application Signal Quality and Signal Strength7.3 Application Signal Quality and Signal Strength
Signal quality and signal strength are indicators of how well suited an application isto a Doppler flowmeter. To determine the quality of your application:
1. Look at the bottom right corner of the Flow screen.2. Note the SQ number and the %SS number.3. Refer to Figure 7.3b - Signal Quality/Signal Strength Chart, below, to
