After applying and before final fitting, you also need to wait 10-15 minutes for "surface skin" of silicone.
There are 3 options of fastening:
Option 1: Metal made tank or plastic tank, the wall thickness up to 3,0 mm
.
The 5 holes should be drilled (one central for the probe insertion and 4 satellite holes for fastening).The rivets with screw are
fitted in the fastening holes (4 pieces).Then sensor is fitted on the tank and fasten with screws
.
Option 2:
Metal made tank, the wall thickness more than to 3,0 mm
.
The 5 holes should be drilled (one central for the probe insertion and 4 satellite holes for fastening).
The thread size M5 (metric) should be made in the fastening holes (4 pieces).Then sensor is fitted on the tank and fastens with
M5 screws
.
