Fitting a Filter or shield to the probe
Some protection must always be fitted to the probe tip to prevent foreign objects
from entering the probe and damaging the sensor.
Never use the probe without protection on the tip..
The protector can be a mesh screen, flame arrestor, ceramic filter or stainless steel
filter, depending on the application. The example below shows a ceramic filter
with stainless steel protector.
Once the packing material has been removed, screw the filter or screen onto the
end of the probe tube as shown.
Loosen the filter protector and slide it over the filter. Extend the protector ap-
proximately 1/2” (1.27 cm) past the tip of the filter.
Align the filter protector so that the particulate will hit the protector rather than
the filter.
Tighten the protector clamps.
