Probe end threshold
The device uses Tank Bottom Following (TBF) mode to measure the level of products with low
dielectric constants. It uses the probe end as a reference. If the reflection is very weak, change
the probe end threshold to measure the probe end location. Use the same procedure in How to
use thresholds to change the probe end threshold, but go to menu item 2.5.6 Probe End use thresholds use thresholds use thresholds
Threshold. Threshold Threshold Threshold
For more data about the probe end threshold, refer to
item 2.5.6).

How to decrease the length of single rod probes and change the device setting
• Measure the length of the rod from the flange facing or thread stop. Use a scriber to put a
mark on the rod.
• Cut the rod to the correct length.
• Enter 2.0.0 Supervisor menu 2.0.0 Supervisor menu.
2.0.0 Supervisor menu 2.0.0 Supervisor menu
• Push [> > > > ], 2 × [ ], [> > > > ] and 2 × [ ] to go to menu item 2.3.4 Probe Length
• Enter the new value. Push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to go back to the sub-menu level.
• Push 4 × [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to save settings.
• Set the parameter to "STORE YES" and push [^ ^ ^ ^ ].
CAUTION!
Do the Auto Setup procedure after you decrease the length of the probe. For more data about the
procedure, refer to Function description on page 79
How to decrease the length of cable probes and change the device setting
• Loosen the socket set screws that hold the counterweight with a 3 mm Allen wrench.
• Remove the counterweight.
• Measure the length of the cable from the flange facing or thread stop. Use a scriber to put a
mark on the cable.
i Add the length of the counterweight and subtract the length of the cable engaged in the
counterweight. This gives the total probe length. Refer to the illustration and table that
follows.
• Cut the cable to the correct length.
• Attach the cable to the counterweight. Tighten the socket set screws with a 3 mm Allen
wrench.
