Adjust the guiding beams until the trans- ducer holders follow/aim at the marking- out. Make sure that the distance between the two horizontal guiding beams are the same on both sides of the pipe.
  • Page 7      SITRANS F US SONOFLO Step 3 Before proceeding it is a good idea to measure L of the sound track just max. finished. By means of a plumb line the ends of the transducer holders are transpositioned to the upper guiding beam.

    Unpack the Tapping band and check that all components are included. Some small items can be misplaced during shipping and Customs inspection. If the list below does not check out, please contact Siemens Flow Instruments. • Each band has an associated Data Sheet with information unique to that band. If more than one band of the same size are delivered, ensure that each Data Sheet can be identified individually with its band.
