Cutting The Probe - FlowLine EchoWave LG10 Series Manual

Appendix

CUTTING THE PROBE

If the length of the probe is too long (touches bottom of tank, prevents the sensor from being threaded into
the tank or a shorter length is required for the application), the probe can be cut to length in the field. Note:
The most important requirement for cutting the probe is to protect the housing from being dropped, banging
into other objects or swinging freely. Follow the instructions for the appropriate probe style.
ROD
 Place the probe on a sturdy surface.
 Measure and mark the location for the cut.
 Secure the rod to prevent it from moving during cutting.
o Be sure to secure the housing to prevent it from moving when the probe is cut.
 Use a saw with a blade designed to cut 316L SS to cut the probe.
o Examples include hack saw, diamond wheel rotary tool, etc.
o Once the probe is cut, trim/file the fresh cut.
 Install the probe per mounting instructions.
COAXIAL
 Place the probe on a sturdy surface.
 Measure and mark the location for the cut on the coaxial shield.
 Unthread the coaxial shield from the GWR sensor.
