• Take out the spare plug connectors supplied and store in a safe place.
• Unscrew the central screw in the electronic insert.
• Lift out the electronic insert from the housing using the handle.
• Remove the plug base for the electronic insert from the central threaded
rod in the housing (use universal pliers)
• Cut off the plug connector from the probe cable cores.
See Fig. 22 above right.
• Remove the plug connector with the rest of the probe cable from the
connector at the plug base.
• Unscrew the 3 screws in the housing.
• Remove the housing from the hexagonal nut.
• Remove the sealing screw at the tip of the cone.
• Loosen the terminal clamps in the cone by moving them backwards and
forwards.
• Push the cable up from below. The terminal clamps will come out at the
top.
• Push the cable upwards from below to the correct cable length.
• Cut off the cable about 150 mm above the hexagonal nut (universal pliers/
wire cutter).
• Leave approx. 140 mm of core free and:
a) remove cable sheath (external insulation) with a knife,
b) carefully cut round the steel armouring one wire at a time
with the wire cutter.
c) remove approx. 140 mm of the internal cable sheath.
• Put the terminal clamps around the cable and place in the cone tightly.
The cable with its armouring should now protrude approx. 5 mm above
the terminal clamps. See Fig. 22 below right.
• Push the sealing washers into the cone from below.
• Screw the sealing screw into the cone tip tightly.
• Put the black gasket on the hexagonal nut.
• Put the screw guide ring in the cone.
• Thread the 4 free cores from below through the rubber bush.
• Tighten the housing onto the hexagonal nut using the 3 screws.
Make sure that the screws are screwed up tight so that the housing is
watertight against the hexagonal nut.
