2. Mark the desired length (L) on the probe. The reference point is the lower edge of

the process connection.

3. Remove the probe from the unit. Do not lose the O-ring between the probe

attachment piece and the probe.

4. Shorten the probe at the mark.
5. Remove all burrs and sharp edges. For hygienic requirements: Restore the required

surface quality. If necessary, polish the probe.

Note

In cases with strong vibrations or moving viscous medium, it may be necessary to
secure the probe connection using screw retaining compound. In this case, ensure
that the compound is harmless because it might migrate into the medium.

Postrequisites

Reinstall the probe by following the steps in 

Install the probe

.

2.2.2

Install the probe

Install the probe onto the level transmitter to ensure accurate level readings.

For more information, see 

Measuring principle

.

Note

The probe is not included with the level transmitter.

 CAUTION

Do not damage the surfaces of the process connection and probe. Use tools suitable for
use with plastic surfaces.

Procedure

1. Remove the protective cover and protective devices from the unit and the probe.
