probe length of 100 mm (L

min

)! The unit does not support probe lengths

below 100 mm� If shorter probes are used, measurement errors can occur�

Proceed as follows:

► Screw the probe to the unit�

► Mark the desired length (L) on the

rod� The reference point is the lower

edge of the process connection�

► Remove the rod from the unit�

► Shorten rod at the mark�

min

= 100 mm

► Remove all burrs and sharp edges�

► Screw the rod to the unit again and tighten it� Recommended tightening torque:

4 Nm�

► Precisely measure the probe length L, note the value� It must be entered during

parameter setting of the unit�
