Installation in horizontal and upright
cylindrical tanks
• Use the following types of probe for
measuring ranges
– up to 4 m (13 ft): rod probe (1) or coax
probe (2)
– up to 10 m (33 ft): separable probe
– above 10 m (33 ft): 4 mm rope probe
• Installation and possible fixing as with
bulk solids.
• Any distance from wall, as long as
occasional contact is prevented.
• When installing in tanks with a lot of
internals or internals situated close to the
probe,or in connection with large ∅ :
Use a coax probe!
Installation in stilling well or bypass
• A rod probe can be used for pipe diameters
bigger than 40 mm.
• When installing a rod probe into a metallic
pipe with internal diameter of up to
150 mm, you have all the advantages of a
coax probe.
• Welded joints that protrude up to approx.
5 mm inwards do not influence
measurement.
• If a rod probe is used, the probe length
must be 100 mm longer than the lower
disposal.
• It must be ensured that the probe does not
come into contact with the side wall.
Where necessary, use a centering disk at
the lower end of the probe (see Operating
Instruction on the CD-ROM).
