2 Mounting

2.1 General instructions

Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the

probe end is usually sufficient. If several spacers are required, they

should be mounted large distances apart.

Keep in mind that buildup can form on the spacers. Strong buildup

can influence the measurement.

When probes are used in standpipes or bypass tubes, contact with

the tube wall must be avoided. We therefore recommend probes with

a centering.
Rod probes generally do not require a spacer. However, if there is a

risk of the rod probe being pressed against the tube wall by inflow-

ing medium, you should mount a spacer at the probe end to reliably

avoid contact with the tube wall. The cable of cable probes can also

be strained.
The centering should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod.
In a bypass tube, select the position of the centering component such

that it is below the lower vessel connection tube and hence below the

min. adjustment point.
