3.3.3 Shorten the rigid twin lead probe
Prerequisites
The spacers are put closer together at the probe end. The maximum amount that can be
cut is related to the ordered probe length (L).
Figure 3-19: Maximum Shortening of Rigid Twin Lead Probe
A. L > 46.5 in. (1180 mm)
B. 20.5 in. < L < 46.5 in. (520 mm < L < 1180 mm)
C. 15.7 in. < L < 20.5 in. (400 mm < L < 520 mm)
D. Maximum shortening length: 19.7 in. (500 mm)
E. Minimum probe length: 20.5 in. (520 mm)
F. Minimum probe length: 15.7 in. (400 mm)
Procedure
Cut the rods to the desired length:
• You may cut up to 19.7 in. (500 mm) from the probe end for probe length L above 46.5
in. (1180 mm)
• For probe length 20.5 to 46.5 in. (520 to 1180 mm) the minimum length is 20.5 in.
(520 mm)
• For probe length 15.7 to 20.5 in. (400 to 520 mm) the minimum length is 15.7 in. (400
mm)
Postrequisites
After shortening the probe make sure to update the transmitter configuration to the new
probe length.
