Mounting Transducers Into The Gcf - GE C-PT Installation Manual

5.3c Mounting Transducers into the GCF
The last step of installation is mounting the transducers into the clamping fixture. C-PT transducers are manufactured
with a dimple on top of the transducer body. In addition, there are scribe marks on each side.
To mount the transducers into the GCF, use the following steps:
1. Apply a thread sealant to the transducer threads. A sealant is not required within the US, however, a sealant must be
used in European Communities.
2. Before mounting the transducers, thread the junction box onto the end of the transducer with the BNC connector.
Ensure that at least five full threads are engaged. Make sure to orient the cover of the junction box so it is
accessible to make cable connections once the box is installed.
3. Take one of the transducers and apply a thin bead of couplant down the center of its face approximately the size of
a toothpaste bead.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent the loss of couplant, do not slide the transducer with couplant along the surface of the pipe
when mounting.
