Precautions and Switch-on of the ADS PrimeProbe2

Safety and Precautions

Please read these instructions carefully as they contain important safety information. PrimeProbe2
must be used for the specified application - improper use or tampering will invalidate the warranty.
ADS is responsible only if used in original product configuration.

The PrimeProbe2 should be installed away from any bends or hydraulic fittings. For best results,

•

it should be installed with at least 25 pipe diameters of straight unrestricted pipe upstream of the
sensor, and 10 pipe diameter downstream of the sensor.

For correct operation, the pipe must be completely full of water. It is not necessary that the

•

probe be installed vertically. But must be installed at 90° to the pipe.

Before inserting the probe, ensure the safety chain is correctly secured at both ends

•

. Pipes are

under pressure - failure to tighten the locking collar and connect the safety chain could cause the
probe to be forced upwards with potential injury to the user.

Important

•

– Fully tighten all screws as water ingress can occur.
