INSTALLATION TIPS

Tall and Narrow Risers
Rod and Cable probes can be installed in tall and
narrow risers under the following criteria:

Nozzle Diameter must be >2" (50mm),

Nozzle Height must be <12" (300mm),

Riser must be metallic,

An empty signal scan is required after
installation.
Coaxial probes are not affected by tall and narrow
risers.
Difficult Tank or Riser Geometries
Rod and Cable probes must follow the criteria below:

Tall and Narrow Risers criteria must be followed,

Nozzle diameter remains the same diameter,

Nozzle Diameter does not decrease,

Nozzle Diameter may get larger, but an empty
signal scan is required.
Coaxial probes are not affected by the shape of the
tank or the geometry of the nozzle as the above is not
applicable.
Close to Side Wall or Internal Obstructions
Rod and Cable probes must follow the criteria below:

>4" (100mm) from the side wall,

>4" (100mm) from any objects or obstructions
within the tank,

An empty signal scan may be required after
installation.
Coaxial probes are not affected by the distance from the
side wall or from other objects / obstructions within the
tank.
Moving Probe
Rod and Cable probes must follow the criteria below:

Avoid applications where the movement of the
tank will cause the probe to swing or touch
objects and obstructions in the tank or the side
wall of the tank.

Avoid applications where the tank is
truck/vehicle mounted.
Coaxial probes are not affected by the movement of
liquid within a stationary tank.
