Probe modifications
• Recalibration is required after any modification on the probe.
Probe
Modification
Note
Rod version
Shortening
This will reduce the sensitivity (critical for
material with low DK)
Extending
Consider high mechanical load (rod bending)
from bulk material
Rope version
Shortening
Proper fixing of the rope weight after rope
cutting is required
Extending
Consider high mechanical load (traction) from
bulk material and reduced stability of a rope, if
it is not made from one piece

• Modifications on units with explosion approvals (Hazardous Locations) are not
permitted. Consult factory.
• Modifications may change the technical data (mechanical stability).
• Never do modifications on other than the active part of the probe. This will destroy
the probe.
• Electronics must be removed in any case (see page 39)
• Take care not to overheat the plastic parts of the probe during welding or cutting.
• Use same material as the probe when welding to the probe.
