Shortening coax probes
Coax probes must be shortened if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than
10 mm (0.4 in).
Coax probes can be shortened max. 80 mm (3.2 in) from the end. They have centering
units inside, which fix the rod centrally in the pipe. The centerings are held with borders
on the rod. Shortening is possible up to approx. 10 mm (0.4 in) below the centering unit.
The coax probe is shortened by sawing the pipe at the bottom end.
Entering the new probe length
After shortening the probe:
1. Go to the Probe settings submenu and perform a probe length correction.
2.
1 Field for the new probe length
For documentation purposes, enter the new probe length into the Quick Setup which
can be found in the electronics housing behind the display module.
