1.1 Install probe
Most combustion processes run only slightly negative or positive in pressure,
so that the probe flange is for mechanical mounting only. The probe is not
rated for high pressures. If this is a new installation, a weld plate for welding
to the flue gas duct can be supplied.

Procedure
1. Ensure all components are available to install the probe.
If using the optional ceramic or Hastelloy diffusion element, make
sure to orient the vee deflector correctly.
2. Before inserting the probe, check the direction of gas flow in the
duct. Orient the vee deflector so the apex points upstream toward
the flow.
See Figure 1-1.
