# 2.2 Ultrasonic probe

The instrument sends an ultrasonic signal. The transmission and reception of the signal through the pipe wall and interior fluid are performed through a piezoelectric ultrasonic probe and then transmitted through the ultrasonic signal. The resulting time differential is used to measure the flow. The distance between probes must be precisely calculated and the probes must be correctly placed to ensure measurement accuracy. This section describes the relevant wiring and installation precautions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lorric.com/qr/fu-tx310-ultrasonic-flowmeter-manual-en-v3/2-installation-method/2.2-ultrasonic-probe.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
