Anchoring
In turbulent tanks, it may be necessary to fix the probe. Depending on the probe type,
different methods can be used to guide the probe to the tank bottom. This may be needed
to prevent the probe from hitting the tank wall or other objects in the tank, as well as
preventing a probe from breaking.
Flexible twin/single lead probe with
weight and ring
A ring (customer supplied) can be
attached to the weight in a threaded
(M8x14) hole at the end of the weight.
Attach the ring to a suitable anchoring
point.
Flexible twin/single lead probe with
weight and magnet
A magnet (customer supplied) can be
fastened in a threaded (M8x14) hole at
the end of the weight. The probe can
then be guided by placing a suitable
metal plate beneath the magnet.
Coaxial probe fixed to the tank wall
The coaxial probe can be guided to the
tank wall by fixtures fastened to the
tank wall. Fixtures are customer
supplied. Make sure the probe can
move freely due to thermal expansion
without getting stuck in the fixture.
