Shortening the probe
Rod probe:
The partially insulated version can be shortened at a later stage by the user.
Rope probe:
Both versions (partially and fully insulated) may be shortened at a later stage (see next page).

(covered length):
For nonconductive bulk solids with a low dielectric constant, the rope probe must be approx. 5 %
(but no less than 250 mm) longer than the distance between the tank roof and the required level
limit.
• Release the set screws at the
tensioning weight and remove
the rope.
• Shorten the probe rope to the
desired length.
• In the case of insulated ropes
with a diameter of 8 mm, the
end of the rope has to be
stripped so that it can be guided
into the tensioning weight.
• Slide the rope back in, as far as
the end of the bore, and secure
it using the set screws.
