Expert FAQs
Product Application
- Q: What does “Standoff Adapter” mean in this housing?
- A: The standoff (7.0 inches here) is a metal tube. It spaces the probe away from the mounting point. This lets you install the probe deeper into a machine case that has a thick wall.
Specifications & Use
- Q: Can I use this housing with a 5 mm or 11 mm probe?
- A> No. This specific -28- version is only for 8 mm probes. You need a different housing model for other probe sizes.
- Q: What is the benefit of the conductive plastic housing?
- A: In areas with flammable gases or dust, static sparks can cause fires. The conductive material safely drains any static charge to ground, preventing sparks.
Selection & Sourcing
- Q: The suffix is “-00-” for fittings. What does that mean?
- A> It means this housing ships without extra connection parts like unions or elbows. You provide the needed pipe fittings for your specific installation.
- Q: Based on field experience, when is this housing most critical?
- A: It is essential outdoors or in wash-down areas. The IP66 rating protects the expensive probe inside from high-pressure water jets used for cleaning. It prevents water damage failures.
