instructions
Mount NivoGuide 8100 in such a way that the distance to vessel
installations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-
metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least
500 mm (19.7 in).
During operation, the probe must not touch any installations or the
vessel wall. If necessary, fasten the probe end.
