5.2 Mounting the coaxial tube
See the operating instructions for the coaxial tube (8015674) at www.sick.com.
5.3 Shortening the probe
If the mono-probe is too long for use, it can be shortened to the height of the container.
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 to the desired dimension. Set the new probe length in the LFP,
see “8.4.7 Conguring the probe length”. Make sure that this correction corresponds to
the probe length, because an incorrect value in the Length menu has a direct eect on
measurement accuracy and can lead to faults. The probe length L is set out in Chapter
“15 Dimensional drawings”.
