Verify that the location the probe is to be mounted
is not directly in the path of the product as it enters
the vessel. (Fig. 1)

When installing more than one probe, verify that
they are separated by a minimum distance of
500mm. (Fig. 1)

Material falling onto the probe can cause damage
or switching errors. If this is unavoidable, it is
recommended that a protective shield be installed
above the probe. The shield is also recommended
when the probe is use for a low level switch or in
the outflow of the product. (Fig. 2)

The tip of the probe should point slightly
downward ( when possible) so that if there is any
excess of product it will easily slide from the
probe. (Fig. 2)

When installing from the top of the tank confirm
that the tip of the probe has cleared the side of the
vessel at least 500mm. (Fig. 3)

When installing the sensor directly to the tank
make sure that the rod extends beyond the inner
wall of the tank, by as much as possible, so that
internal build up or other debris does not interfere
with the sensor's performance. (Fig. 2 correct Fig.
4 incorrect)

Ensure that the conduit is facing downward so that
water does not enter the housing from the cable
entry point. (Fig. 5)
