PROBE DIAPHRAGMS
The probe mechanism is protected from coolant
and debris by two diaphragms, these provide
adequate protection under normal working
conditions.
The user should periodically check the outer
diaphragm, for signs of damage and coolant
leakage. If this is evident replace the outer
diaphragm.
The outer diaphragm is resistant to coolant
and oils. However if the outer diaphragm is
damaged, the inner diaphragm could become
weakened with prolonged immersion in certain
coolants and oils.
The user must not remove the inner
diaphragm. If damaged, return the probe
to your supplier for repair.
