Shortening the Probe

NOTE!

HTHP Coaxial and PTFE probes must not be shortened.

Flexible Twin/Single Lead

Spacer

Minimum:

1.6 in./ 40 mm

1.Mark off the required probe length. Add at least

1.6 in. (40 mm) to the required probe length to be inserted into the weight.

2.Loosen the Allen screws.

3.Slide the weight upwards as much as needed in order to cut the probe.

4.Cut the probe. If necessary, remove a spacer to make room for the weight.

5.Slide the weight down to the required cable length.

6.Tighten the screws. Required torque: M6: 7 Nm

M8: 15 Nm

M10: 25 Nm

Cut

Allen screws

7.Update the transmitter configuration to the new probe length, see “Tank and Probe Geometry“ on page 5-4and “Probe“ on page 5-21.

If the weight was removed from the cables when cutting, make sure that at least 1.6 in. (40 mm) of the cable is inserted when the weight is replaced.

NOTE!

If the screws are not tightened according to the required torque, the weight may fall off. This is especially important for solid applications with high tensile loads on the probe.

Rigid Single Lead

1.Cut the Single Lead probe to the desired length. The minimum probe length is 15.7 in. (400 mm).

2.If a centering disc is used, follow the instructions on page 3-26.

3.Update the transmitter configuration to the new probe length, see “Tank and Probe Geometry“ on page 5-4and “Probe“ on page 5-21.
