Installation

HY7K probe installation

The probe consists of the AT-S probe the background probe and the Thermocouple probe. The AT-S probe

may be fixed in place using magnets or banding depending on the test site geometry. The background probe

is attached to the AT-S probe using clips. The thermocouple probe is magnetic and may be placed directly

on to the surface of magnetic steels.

AT-S and background probe installation with banding

Components

To affix the probe, you will need two equal lengths of banding appropriate for the target pipe diameter. That

is the pipe circumference plus 30 cm for tool operation and fitting of buckles. Ion Science recommends that

standard 3/8” (9.31 mm) width 0.015” (0.38 mm) gauge Stainless steel banding and buckles be used. This

uses a specialist band-tightening tool. Banding kit may be purchased as an accessory.

Items required are:

 AT-S probe collector plate

 Back ground probe

 Probe clips A-910227

 Band tensioning tool

 Band cuters

 x2 Banding buckles

 x2 Banding lengths to suit pipe (3/8” - 0.015” guage)

 Wire bush for preparing the metal surface

 PPE (personal protective equipment)

Pre-assembly

Best done in a clean environment off-site,

 Assemble the background probe on to the AT-S probe using the probe clips.

 Prepare the banding by cutting it to length. Equal to the Pipe circumference plus approximately 30

cm. For difficult installations longer lengths may be required with the banding being cut afterwards to

remove the excess.

 Fit the buckles to the banding following the manufactures instructions

 Fit the banding into the support bracket on the AT-S.

 Manually adjust the collector so that it is located at a distance equal to ¼ of the target pipe

circumference from the buckle end of the strap. Loosen or tighten the butterfly nuts as required.

Ensure the collector cap is secured to finger tightness.
