Removal of protective cap (if necessary)
For the protection of the diaphragm, some of the probes have a plugged-on protection cap. If the device shall be used in highviscosity media such as sludge, a removal of the cap before start-up is necessary. Thus, the sensor becomes flush, and the medium will attain quickly to the diaphragm.
NOTE – Make sure that the sensor (7) under the protection cap will not be damaged!
Removal by hand

  1. Hold the probe in a way that the protection cap points upwards.
  2. Hold the probe with one hand on the sensor section (1).
  3. Remove the protection cap (2) with the other hand.

Removal with a tool (recommended)

Fig.2 Removal of protection cap

  1. Hold the probe in a way that the protection cap points upwards.
  2. Slide a small tool such as a screwdriver (8) straight through two opposite drill holes in the protective cap (2).
  3. Lever it off by moving up the handle of the screwdriver.
