    2. Installation NSTALLATION 2.1 A SSEMBLY ISASSEMBLY OF THE CAP Before proceeding with the assembly/disassembly operation of the cap from the probe body, the tubular gasket must be moved from its position on the cap. Pay attention that the vent hole, highlighted in Figure 4 and the other holes present, remain uncovered throughout the assembly phase.

SLOWLY SCREW THE PROBE CAP To ensure the correct functioning of the probe, it is necessary to avoid that the air bubbles remain trapped inside the gel solution in the cap. For this reason, it is useful to slowly screw the cap to the probe, and not to shake the bottle before use.

    2. Installation WARNING RISK DUE TO A DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE When using hazardous substances, please note that updated safety data sheets of the manufacturers of these substances are available. Since the risk potential of a substance can be re-evaluated at any time based on new knowledge, the safety data sheet must be checked regularly and replaced if necessary.
