Setting the Insertion Length
7.
Prior to installing the inFlow™ ACE, the length the insertion shaft will need to travel inside the pipeline must be
determined. Measure the distance the insertion shaft must travel from the top of the pipeline isolation valve to the
desired insertion depth (e.g., the center one-third (¹⁄₃) of the pipeline) (
). This will be the shaft insertion length.

8.
Pull up on the insertion shaft to ensure that it is fully retracted. The end of the collection head should be flush with or in
close proximity to the flange face (
9.
Beginning at the top edge of the alignment nuts, measure along the insertion shaft to the desired insertion length
(
). As needed, use a felt tip pen to mark this point.

10.
Remove the hex bolts from the alignment nuts (
11.
Loosen the cap screws on the sides of the lock collar (
12.
Carefully slide the lock collar up the shaft to the shaft insertion length, taking care not to scratch the outer shaft.
13.
Ensure that the alignment indicator rod is still aligned with the opening in the collection head.
14.
Tighten the cap screws on the sides of the lock collar to secure the lock collar to the outer shaft at the marked point
(
This procedure ensures that the insertion length will be mechanically limited by the lock collar and that the lock collar will
hold the probe in place when under pressure.
