Before you start, make sure that the ball valve is closed. The valve must be closed whenever a probe is not installed in it. |
You can install the probe in the process with the ball valve kit provided that the process pressure is less than 10 bars. This way, you do not need to shut down the process when installing or removing the probe. If the process pressure is higher, shut down the process before installing or removing the probe.

- Manual press tool: use to press the probe down when installing the probe to a pressurized process.
- 5
- Probe insertion depth, measured from the bottom of the welding joint to the top of
the probe filter. Push the probe deep enough to insert the probe sensors inside the
process. Minimum insertion depth: 2.54 cm (1 in).
CAUTION Make sure that you do not cause damage to the equipment or harm yourself by pushing the probe too far into the process. The maximum insertion depth varies depending on your probe model. Always confirm the maximum insertion depth of the probe before insertion.
After attaching the ball valve kit to process, install the probe through the ball valve as follows:
