To cut a coaxial probe do the
following:
NOTE!
The HTHP coaxial probe must not be
cut in field.
1. Insert the centering piece.
(The centering piece is
delivered from factory and
should be used to prevent the
spacers centering the rod from
coming loose).
2. Cut the tube to the desired length.
3. Move the centering piece.
4. Cut the rod inside the tube. Make
sure that the rod is fixed with the
centering piece while cutting.
• Pipes longer than
49 inches/1250 mm can be
shortened by as much as
23.6 inches/600 mm.
• Pipes shorter than
49 inches/1250 mm can be cut as
long as the remaining length is not
less than
15.7 inches/400 mm.
5. Update the transmitter
configuration to the new probe
length, see “Probe Length“ on
page 4-9.
