Trim the probe length

Shortening a rod probe
Where clearance to the bottom of the tank is less than 0.4" (10mm), the rod must be
shortened.
Rod probes are supplied in segments. Cut on the terminating rod segment (the one with
the unthreaded end).
Shortening a wire probe
Wire probes are provided with an end weight that is not attached.

CAUTION: The minimum Blocking Distance Low (BDL) and accuracy in
the low transition zone will be compromised if the BDL guidance is not
followed. See Section
Loosen the set screws holding the end weight to the rope.
Remove the end weight from the rope.
Measure the required wire length and wrap some adhesive tape around the
wire at the cut location to help hold the wire strands together when cutting.
Use a hacksaw and make the cut.
Insert the wire back into the end weight and tighten the 3 set screws.
