Probe Installation
The instructions in this section cover the installation of the Focus TM Probe and the safety hardware used
to retain the probe. Figure 4 through Figure 6: Insertion Depth Calculations for 4" and Smaller Pipe
Diameters provide visual aids for the installation procedures.
At no time during the installation should any person position any part of their body in line with the probe.
A pressurized pipe could cause the probe to accelerate outwards causing bodily harm.
Small leakages may occur during installation. Take appropriate safety precautions.
Install only under minimal operating pressure or with the line shut off to prevent large forces acting on the
probe.
3.1 Procedure – Installing the Safety Chain Clip:
1. Undo the Quick Link connector and remove the Safety Chain from the Safety Chain Clip.
2. Slide the Safety Chain Clip on to the probe so the tab points away from the Fiber Connector at the
end of the probe.
3. Slide a Clamp-On Collar on to the probe and position it so it secures the Safety Chain Clip against
the Fiber Connector.
4. Tighten the screw on the Clamp-On Collar with a 3/16” Allen wrench.

NOTE:
Maximum Force Acting on Probe =
Line Pressure (psig) x 0.44
Examples:
30psig x 0.44 = 13lbs
100psig x 0.44 = 44lbs
NOTE:
Process operating pressure and temperature
restrictions:
Max Pressure: 100psig
Temp. Range: -40ºF to +302ºF (-40ºC to +150ºC)
