No additional adjustments or maintenance is needed. If
you suspect something is wrong with a transducer or need
to replace a transducer, simply loosen the pressure bolt
that secures the transducer in place and remove it. If
necessary, loosen the locking nut with a wrench. Refer to
Installing the Transducers to insert a new transducer.
Measure the signal strength using the flowmeter
diagnostics and compare it to the value taken at the time of
installation. Good and bad limits are listed in the
flowmeter User's Manual.
The expected life is 25 years. Consult GE for additional
information if needed.
Periodic inspection and tightening of the clamping fixture
nuts is required to ensure the clamping fixture does not
become loose and fall from the pipe, possibly causing injury.
