1. Measure the diameter of the standpipe or bypass tube and adapt
the spacers accordingly. The notches on the 4-arm spacer allow
simple trimming down to tube diameters DN 50 (2") and DN 80
(3").
For cutting, use a metal saw or a pair of strong pincers or side
cutters.
2. The spacer should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod.
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. Determine where
a spacer should be placed and mark the position.
3. Slide the retaining ring (2) onto the rod of the probe.
Tip:
Wear gloves when sliding the parts onto the rod or use a piece of thin
tubing
With probes of diameter 12 mm (0.47 in), use the supplied tool to
slide the spacers.
If you have shortened the probe, it is helpful to slightly chamfer the
end of the rod.
4. Slide a spacer (1) and another retaining ring (2) onto the rod of
the probe.
