Installation
AT-S Probe Installation with Magnets
Step 1: Press the collector plate against the target steel surface so that it conforms to pipe or vessel
curvature.
Step 2: With the probe held in place, attach the magnets as shown in the diagram below. Note: The max
working temperature for magnets are 800

F 426


Thermocouple installation
Care should now be taken to prevent the magnet from
tugging the thermocouple lead. The thermocouple is
semi-flexible and further care must be taken when
handling to prevent damage by repeated flexing of the
lead at a single point.

The magnet thermocouple should be fitted so the magnet
legs bridge across the pipe or vessel curve near the
location of the mounted probe, as illustrated below.
Once fitted the screw should be tightened using an Allen
key, until the thermocouple tip is pressed firmly against
the steel as illustrated. (Care should be taken when
doing this as excess tightening could crack the ceramic
block)
Re-insulation and cladding
Weather shielding for the probe is essential to prevent
water ingress blocking the sample flow and preventing
operation. This may be achieved by installing insulation
and cladding with the use of sealing bungs or tape.
Alternatively a custom made cloche might be used
for exposed pipes or where insulation is not needed. Ion
science recommends that a short segment of insulation
capped at each end is used to cover the probe. (See the
diagram below).
