Other Mechanical Considerations To get best possible performance, the
following must be considered before
installing the transmitter:
• Inlets should be kept at a distance in
order to avoid product filling on the
probe
• Avoid physical contact between
probes and agitators, as well as
applications with strong fluid
movement unless the probe is
anchored
• Probe tie-down is recommended if
the probe can move to within 1 ft. (30
cm) of any object during operations
• In order to stabilize the probe for side
forces, it is possible to fix or guide
the probe to the tank bottom
• For optimal single lead probe performance in non-metallic vessels, the probe must either be
mounted with a 2-in. / DN 50 or larger metallic flange, or a metal sheet with an 8-in. diameter
(200 mm) or larger must be used (see the Reference Manual for placement)
See the Reference Manual (Document No. 00809-0100-4530) for more mechanical installation

Nozzle
Height
Long Stud
(9.8 in./250 mm)
When using single flexible probes
in tall and narrow nozzles, a Long
Stud (LS option) is recommended
to prevent the probe from
contacting the nozzle

Clearance to
tank wall
Avoid direct contact
Flexible single
lead probe with
chuck installed in
liquids and in
solids.
For solids, it is
recommended
that the probe
should be slack
to prevent high
tensile loads.
