4.12.3 U-Channel Mounting It is possible to mount a probe in a U-channel, but you would not
be able to use the complete Universal Mounting Ring. You would
use the base section only and attach it to the U-channel surface
with studs fired from a power-activated stud gun. Consult the
factory for more information, if you must mount a probe in a
U-channel.
4.12.4 Attaching the Probe First, attach the probe to the probe carrier. The adapter, with the
probe attached then snaps into place on the mounting ring or
into the base section of the Universal Mounting Ring. This
method of attaching the probe to an adapter and snapping the
adapter to the ring allows for easy removal of the probe in case
service is needed later. To complete the probe-mounting ring
assembly procedure, attach the probe cable to the ring. Do this by
using the self-locking plastic ties supplied with the ring.
Route the probe cable away from the probe and along the edge of
the ring with holes and secure it in position by placing the ties
through the holes in the mounting ring and then locking them
around the cable, as shown. To prevent debris from catching on
the probe cable, it is important to attach the cable to the
mounting ring so that it offers as little resistance to the flow as
possible. Do this by installing plastic ties through all the
mounting holes provided. Then make sure there are no loops or
slack sections in the cable. Attach the probe cable neatly and
closely to the mounting ring. You can route the probe cable either
to the left or right of the mounting ring.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the plastic ties; they should be tightened
just enough to secure the cable in place, without greatly
indenting the cable. Overtightening the plastic ties may cut the
cable.
