Verify that the location the probe is to be mounted
is clear from the stream of product (Fig. 1).
When installing more than one probe in your
process, 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 to protect it. 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 slightly point
downward ( when possible) so that if there are 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).
