6.4. Tape protection
The tape protection tube is a mechanical safety
device which prevents the valve from being closed
as long as the sensing probe is inside the tank.
When the sensing probe is lowered the protection
tube will follow the sensing probe by gravity until
the tube is retained by a ring located inside the
coupler. In that position the protection tube
prevents closing the valve. When the tape is
wound up the protection tube will stay in position
until it is pushed up by the sensing probe. Before
instrument is used check that the protection tube
is moving freely. For cleaning purposes the
protection tube is slotted.
