7.2T-Slot Transducer Removal and Installation Procedures

The T-Slot transducer assembly is an improvement to the direct mount transducer. It offers improved transducer alignment and superior acoustic isolation between the transducer and the meter housing. The net result is improved performance and stability. The assembly is used on both SeniorSonic™ and JuniorSonic™ Meters and is line pressure vented.

7.2.1Removal with Extractor Tool

To replace transducers under pressure, refer to the Daniel Ultrasonic Extractor Tool Operation Manual (Daniel P/N 3-9000-729) for installation and removal of the older style transducers (e.g. M-Mount, P-Mount, and Q-Mount). For J-Mount and K-Mount transducers, refer to Ultrasonic Split Clamp Extractor Tool Operation Manual (Daniel P/N 3-9000-744) available to download from the Daniel website:
