Important Safety Note
No user serviceable parts are contained with-
in the equipment. All repairs must be perfor-
med only by the manufacturer. Misuse or any
attempted modification of the equipment will
lead to considerable safety risks!

Note
GESTRA level electrodes are high-quality
measuring probes and should be handled
with care. Avoid subjecting the electrode tips
to shocks or bending as this might cause
damage to the electrode seal.
Installation
Step 1
1. Carefully determine required measuring
length of each electrode tip and note the
lengths in the table. (Fig. 3)
2. Cut electrode tips
,
,
the required lengths. In the case of tips
,
consider minus 2 mm reduction to
compensate for the measuring surface
extensions. (Figs. 3 and 4)
3. Strip off PTFE insulation from the ends of the
electrode tips according to Fig. 5 or Fig. 6.
4. A plastic bag with screws, spacer discs
and measuring surface extensions is
included in the terminal box
trode.

Step 2
1. Check seating surface of threads or flange
provided on vessel or boiler standpipe.
(Fig. 7)
2. Place ring joint
of electrode (see Fig. 5).
Note: Use only ring joint (of stainless
steel 1.4301 N) D 48x55 to DIN 7603
supplied with electrode.
3. Apply lubricant to electrode thread
4. Screw level electrode into threads or flange
provided on vessel or boiler standpipe and
tighten with a 55 mm ring spanner. The
torque required is 490 Nm when cold.
