Shortening rope probes
Rope probes must be shortened if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than
150 mm (6 in).

Table 6.5
Shortening rope probes
1. Using an Allen key, loosen the set screws at the end-of-probe weight.
Note:
The set screws have got a clamping coating in order to prevent accidental loosening.
Thus an increased torque might be necessary to loosen them.
2. Remove released rope from the weight.
3. Measure off new rope length.
4. Wrap adhesive tape around the rope at the point to be shortened to prevent it from fanning
out.
5. Saw off the rope at a right angle or cut it off with a bolt cutter.
6. Insert the rope completely into the weight.
7. Screw the set screws into place. Due to the clamping coating of the setscrews application
of a screw locking fluid is not necessary.
