3.6.2 How to attach probes to the bottom of the tank
If the liquid is agitated or turbulent, you can attach the probe to the bottom of the tank. The
procedure to attach the probe depends on the type of probe used.
• Weld a tube with an internal diameter of 28...30 mm / 1.1...1.2¨ to the bottom of the tank.
i Make sure the tube aligns with the process connection at the top of the tank.
• Lower the probe into the tank.
• Put the end of the probe into the tube.
The probe counterweight has a hole with an M8 internal thread. You can also select the
appropriate options and attach:
1 An anchoring rod
2 A turnbuckle
For more data, contact your supplier.
CAUTION!
Keep the probe straight.
