Where clearance to the bottom of the tank is less than 0.4"
(10 mm), the rod must be shortened.
Rod probes are supplied in segments. Cut on the
terminating rod segment (the one with the unthreaded end).
1
Loosen the three set screws holding the end weight
to the wire.
2
Remove the end weight from the wire.
3
Measure the required wire length and apply
adhesive tape around the wire at the intended cut
location.
Note: The tape helps hold the wire strands together
when cutting.
4
Make the cut using a bolt cutter or saw.
5
Insert the wire back into the end weight and
tighten the three set screws.
1 A Coaxial probe consists of an inner rod and
coaxial outer tube. To trim the coaxial probe, both
inner rod and coaxial outer tube need to be
trimmed. For trimming the inner rod, refer to rod
probe trimming instruction detailed above. Avoid
trimming the internal thread region of the inner
rod.
2 To trim the coaxial outer tube, start on the
terminating segment (the one with the unthreaded
end). Mark and trim the outer tube to the same
amount as the inner rod. Avoid trimming the
coupler region of the outer tube.
3 Drill a 6 mm hole through the end of the outer
tube at location shown in Error! Reference
