ClearView Probe Installation

Titan Logix’s probes are shipped longer than required to fit all tank installations. Our ClearView probes are 8ft (96in) long, and you will need to cut them down to fit the inside of your tank. 

Our ClearView Probe is ONLY compatible with our FINCH III display.

Your probe ships with a protective cap included on the top of the probe. Ensure that the top of the probe is covered by the protective cap it is shipped with. This cap must remain in place until the transmitter is mounted on the probe to protect the probe from dirt, oil, and physical damage.

The following parts are shipped with the ClearView probe:

1. ClearView Probe
2. Teflon Spacer
3. End Cap

Contact Titan Logix if any parts are missing or have been damaged during shipment.

IMPORTANT:

• The Teflon Spacer is required to stabilize the center rod and must be installed prior to applying the End Cap.

• The End Cap is required for the probe to accurately measure fluid to the bottom of the probe and must be in place prior to the probe being installed in the tank. 

Tools Required

• Tube Cutter

• Pipe Cutter

• Measuring Tape

• 1 3/4" wrench

• Teflon Tape

Installation Process

The ClearView probe installation steps once the proper length of the probe has been determined based on your tank dimensions. 

• Step 1 - Determine Probe Length
• Step 2 - Cutting Probe
• Step 3 - Installing Spacer
• Step 4 - Cutting Center Rod
• Step 5 - Installing End Cap
• Step 6 - Insert Probe into Tank Compartment

Step 1 - Determine Probe Length

1.  Measure the height of your tank compartment from the bottom of the tank, inside the anchor cone to the top edge of the 1” NPT top fitting.

2.  Measure this height on the probe, starting at the bottom of the probe nut to the end of the ClearView probe tube.

 

Subtract around 3/4 of an inch from this measurement. Mark the outer tube with this measurement. 

Tip: Measure twice to make sure. 

Step 2 - Cutting Tube

4.  Use a tube cutter to cut the outer tube of the probe where you marked the height. Apply light pressure when using a tube cutter to minimize tube deformation.

5.  Debur the inside of the tube, as shown in below image, to ensure any excess material is removed before installing the Teflon Spacer.

Step 3 - Installing Spacer

6.  Insert the Teflon Spacer onto the probe in the center of the tube.

7.  Push the Teflon Spacer to be slightly inside the tube, as shown in the image below.

Step 4 - Cutting Probe 

8.  Cut the probe flush with end of the tube, as shown in image below.

9.  Debur probe, as shown in image below.

Step 5 - Installing End Cap

11.  Push the end cap onto the center probe until it is firmly seated, as shown in image below.

12.  When properly installed, the crown of the end cap will extend slightly beyond the end of the outer tube.

The ClearView probe is now ready for installing inside the tank compartment. 

Step 6 - Insert Probe into Tank Compartment

13. Apply Teflon tape to the 1" NPT threads that mate with the top fitting. 

14. Once the probe is cut to fit inside the tank, carefully insert the probe through the top fitting, resting the shorting block inside the anchor cone.

 15.  Ensure there is a ½” gap between the bottom of the tank (or anchor cone) and the bottom of the probe. 

16.  Hand tighten the probe into the top fitting, then finish tightening with a 1 3/4" wrench.
