The retaining rings fix the spacer in the desired position. A certain
clearance is permitted.
Note:
The retaining rings can be moved only in one direction. If you have
already passed the desired position, cut the retaining ring with a side
cutter. Use a new retaining ring.

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. With rod versions of the probe, 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.
With cable version, the spacers should be mounted at a min.
distance of approx. 1.50 m (5 ft).
3. Plug the spacer (1) from the side onto the rod or cable of the
probe.
