7.4 Tape
protection
The tape protection tube is a mechanical safety
device which prevents the valve from being
closed as long as the sensing probe is inside the
tank. When the sensing probe is lowered the
protection tube will follow the sensing probe by
gravity until the tube is retained by a ring located
inside the coupler. In that position the protection
tube prevents closing the valve. When the tape is
wound up the protection tube will stay in position
until it is pushed up by the sensing probe. Before
instrument is used check that the protection tube
is moving freely. For cleaning purposes the
protection tube is slotted.

UNFORTUNATELY THE MMC DESIGN IS NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE TAPE
