Installation The Gauge Head 2. For 9701/9702 ion chamber detectors, partially assemble the two tensioning bolts (hardware kit 885825) in the following order: a. 1 tensioning bolt (large) b. 1 flat washer: Place onto bolt next to bolt head. c. 1 spacer ring d.
Page 28
Installation The Gauge Head Note You may need to adjust chain links (thread more or fewer links through each slot) to allow for pipe size tolerance, insulation, etc. Start with approximately 10 cm (4 inches) of play. ▲ 8. Position the detector on the pipe, opposite the source mounting plate. If necessary, use a lift, hoist, or other means to hold it in position.
