NEVER install the sensor probe inside an insulation blanket that may be around the level gage. This will overheat the sensor probe and cause failure.
NEVER bend, bow or cause a kink in the sensor probe, this will damage the instrument and void the warranty. Do not attempt to straighten the sensor probe, this will not help the instrument work. If the shipment arrives damaged please file a claim with the shipping company and contact the factory to arrange for a replacement.
There are a variety of ways to install a standalone transmitters (i.e. crane, lift, etc…), the basic rule to remember when installing an LTM transmitter is DO NOT DAMAGE the sensor probe, this will void the warranty. If damage is suspected please contact the factory and be prepared to provide pictures.
