3.4.6 Capacitance Probe – Internally Mounted Pots
Please see section 3.4.4 for installation safety guidelines.
If the probes are mounted directly into the boiler shell it is important to lag the flanges in order to avoid
overheating of the electronics. It is recommended that they are not installed too close to the steam off-
take and safety valve connection, but also not too close to the boiler end plates. If possible, they
should be installed near the sight gauge glass.
