Note the following information when mounting a RF sensor:
1. Always insert the flexible sensor rod in a support tube
(e.g. pressure rod HD / HL / HP or HFP profile). The support
tube with an inside diameter of 9.4 mm (0.37 in.) consists of
non-magnetic material. The support tube can be straight or
bent (note the bending radius in Fig. 25).
2. Use non-magnetic material for mounting support.

3. Do never bend beyond the minimum bending radius of
250 mm (9.84 in.)
4. Note the minimum distance to a spatial limitation of 300 mm
(11.81 in.), when mounting / dismounting the sensor (Fig. 25).
5. Note that the first 107 mm (4.21 in.) (for RF-C) respectively
97 mm (3.82 in.) (for RF-M) of the sensor rod are not flexible.
