When installing a product with a sensing element (hereinafter as 'SE') length of 0.8 m and more at vehicle-
based facilities, wave-damping partitions are recommended to be installed to relieve shock loads of fuel on the
product caused by large speed drops (acceleration, braking) or install the product in protective tubes; the absence
of contact of the protective tube or partitions with the sensitive element of the product will be ensured.
The protective tube can be installed on the bottom (the tube is welded to the bottom of the object) or on top.
When installing a protective tube, gaps should be provided both in the lower part of the object (to ensure fuel ac-
cess) and in the upper part (to ensure a reliable gap after refueling the object and its (object) deformation as a re-
sult).

Adapting the sensing element of the product to specific operating conditions
Adaptation of the product's sensitive element consists in cutting it to the length at which the gap between the
bottom of the object and the sensitive element is 10 mm.
Measure the depth L of the object at the product's installation place, from the bottom to the contact surface.
Cut off the sensitive element to length L-10 (see Fig.7). The cutting line must be perpendicular to the axis of
the sensing element.
Use the file to strip the ends of the cut elements of the SE (tube and rod) if necessary.
Figure 7
The minimum allowable length of the SE after cutting: 150 mm.
On the SE cut side, install a terminal bushing taken from the set of mounting parts (Fig. 8).
