Shortening probes
If necessary, probes can be shortened. When doing so, the following must be observed:
Shortening rod probes
Rod probes must be shortened if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than
10 mm (0.4 in). The rods of a rod probe are shortened by sawing at the bottom end.
Rod probes of FMP52 can not be shortened as they are coated.
Shortening rope probes
Rope probes must be shortened if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than
150 mm (6 in).
