3.1.7 DIRECT MODE - MOUNTING FRAMES, SPACER BAR AND SPACING GUIDES
The combination of mounting frames, spacer bar and spacing guides is the recommended way to mount Direct Mode transducers. The mounting frame establishes the axial alignment of the transduc- ers, and allows you to remove and replace either transducer while preserving their exact mounting location.

SPACER BAR (Not Shown) AND SPACING GUIDE
For Direct Mode mounting, you will use a spacer bar to establish the distance between transducers and a spacing guide to easily locate the transducers at the nine o’clock and three o’clock positions. Should the distance between transducers be beyond the span of a spacer bar, a measuring tape can be used. The Mylar spacing guide comes in various lengths and widths to accommodate most pipe sizes (see list below).
