4. Place the two transducers into the blocks. Face the junction box away from the mounting block as shown below.
Note: If the transducer cables are already connected to the flowmeter, you must identify the upstream and
downstream cables and connect them to the appropriate transducers.
5. Use the pressure bolt on the block to secure one of the transducers in place. The pressure bolt should fit into the
dimple in the transducer body. Hand-tighten the bolt just enough to hold the transducer in place. Do not overtighten
the bolt, or the clamping fixture may lift off the pipe.
6. Tighten the locking nut on the pressure bolt (see Figure 4 on page 7).
When using the UCF on a pipe subject to mechanical vibration, the locking nut must be used to secure the

pressure bolt to the transducer. For additional resistance to vibration a thread lock compound or a
stainless steel washer and lock washer may also be used. These items can be ordered from GE by
requesting a "special" clamping fixture and specifying either the thread lock or the washers.
