5 MOUNTING
5.2 Mounting the coaxial tube
See the operating instructions for the coaxial tube (8015674) at www.sick.com.
5.3 Shortening or replacing the probe rod/rope probe
If the probe rod or rope probe is too long for the application, it can be shortened to the
container height. In this case, you should not shorten the probe beyond its minimum
length of 100 mm. If the LFP is to be used in a hygienic application, then be sure that
the roughness of Ra≤0.8 µm is reestablished on the shortened machined surfaces of
the mono-probe.
5.3.1 Procedure
Shorten the probe rod and/or rope probe as desired. Adjust the new probe length in the
LFP, see “8.4.7 Conguring the probe length”. Ensure that this correction corresponds
to the probe length, because an incorrect value in the Length menu has a direct eect
on measurement accuracy and can lead to faults. The probe length L is set out in
Chapter “15 Dimensional drawings”.
The probe rod and/or the rope probe can be swapped. Use a suitable tool. If the system
experiences strong vibrations, secure the probe with thread-locking lacquer.
