Magnetic Mount Probe (Ttc-Probe-02) Installation; Figure 3.6: Magnetic Mount, Application Of Thermal Compound - Advanced Power technologies TTC-1000 Instruction & Operation Manual

2. If the probe well's ID is greater than 0.390 select the appropriate probe
sleeve and slide over the probe. Tighten the set screw with the
accompanying Allen Key.
3. Slide the probe into the thermo well.
4. Thread the appropriate brass fitting into the thermometer well. The spring
holds the probe at the end of the well.
5. Thread the appropriate conduit fitting into the ½-NPT female threads.

3.3.3 Magnetic Mount Probe (TTC-PROBE-02) Installation

A magnetic mount probe (P/N: TTC-PROBE-02-xxx) is available for surface
mounting to the LTC or transformer tank when a thermo well is unavailable.
To mount the probe you will need:
 RTV silicone sealant suitable for the outdoor applications and rated for the
maximum operating temperature.
 Thermal grease (supplied with probe).
To install the probe:
1. Coat center probe area
with a liberal coating of
thermal grease
shown in Figure 3.6.

Figure 3.6: Magnetic Mount, Application of Thermal Compound

2. Place probe on the wall of the transformer or LTC tank to be monitored. The
location should be as high as possible on the tank, but bellow the top level of
the transformer's or LTC tank's oil level. See Figure 3.7.
3. Place a bead of RTV silicone or other suitable sealing compound around the
perimeter of the probe to seal the probe surface from moisture. See Figure
3.7.
