5.2e Mounting Transducers into the UCF (cont.)
6. Tighten the counter nut on the pressure bolt (see Figure 3 on page 7).
IMPORTANT:
When using the UCF in a pipe location with possible mechanical vibration, the locking nut must be used
to secure the position of the pressure bolt on the transducer after the bolt has been hand-tightened into the
transducer dimple. 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.
7. Repeat Steps 1 to 6 to mount the other transducer in the remaining block.
8. Tighten the thumbscrews on the short blocks to make sure the block is secure on the rail. See Figure 6 on page 18
for completed UCF installations.
WARNING! Before performing the next step make sure the power to the flowmeter electronics is
disconnected.
9. Make transducer cable connections as described in the Installation chapter of the Startup Guide.
Note: If you have mounted the transducers into the UCF properly, the two transducer cable connectors will face
away from each other as shown in Figure 6.
