Installation Procedure (See Figure 4 for reference.)
1. On a flat surface, attach the spacer bar to a mounting frame so that the Reference Hole on the spacer bar fits over the
metal post on the platform of the frame. Tighten the clamping screw.
2. Slide the second mounting frame onto the other end of the spacer bar and align the Number Index Hole with the
metal post on the platform (see Figures 2 and 4). Then tighten the clamping screw. Ensure that the angled sides of
both frames face away from each other.
3. Wrap a mounting strap around the pipe. Make sure to position it so there is easy access to the mounting strap
adjusting screw.
4. At the mounting location, place the Mounting Frame/Spacer Bar Assembly on the pipe so that it rests on the top of the
pipe.
5. Engage the end of the mounting strap with the mounting strap adjusting screw.
6. Slide strap under the spring clip of one of the mounting frames.
7. Tighten the mounting strap screw enough to take up all of the slack, but not enough to prevent rotation of the as-
sembly. Repeat procedure for the other mounting frame.
8. Rotate the assembly on the pipe to the final conditioned location, ensuring that it is straight along the pipe axis. (Refer
to the transducer orientation diagram in Figure 4.)
9. Tighten the mounting straps to seat the assembly firmly on the pipe. Do not over tighten.
10. Take either transducer and apply a continuous lengthwise 1/8-inch bead of coupling compound across the center of
the transducer emitting surface.

Transducer Installation
Installation using Mounting Frames and Spacer Bar
After receiving the spacing index from the Installation Menu, prepare the pipe
surface area where the transducers will be mounted.
Degrease the surface and remove any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint, etc.
Before beginning refer to the Reflect Mount installation diagram example below.
