Rod probe
The shortening is necessary if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than 50 mm.
The rods of a rod probe are shortened by sawing or separating at the bottom end.
Rope probes
The shortening is necessary if the distance to the
container floor or outlet cone is less than 150 mm.
• Remove ballast weight:
The weight is fixed to the probe rope with 3 Allen
setscrews (M4, Allen key AF3). The screws are
secured with Loctite. This may first have to be made
plastic with a hot air apparatus.
• Remove released rope from the weight.
• Measure off new rope length.
• Wrap adhesive tape around the rope at the point to be
shortened to prevent it from fanning out.
• Saw off the rope at a right angle or cut it off with a bolt
cutter.
• Insert the rope completely into the weight,
– 4 mm rope: 60 mm deep
– 6 mm rope: 80 mm deep
The weight is then refixed to the rope:
• Reapply screw locking fluid (we recommend Loctite
type 243) to the setscrews and screw into place.
• When doing so, observe the following torques:
– 4 mm rope: 5 Nm
– 6 mm rope: 15 Nm
