We recommend installing PLAATO Pro in a spare 1.5” Tri Clamp port on the fermenter, as

shown below:

The following criteria must be met when selecting a Tri Clamp port for installation of the

PLAATO Pro:

1. The inner diameter of the port must be a minimum of 23mm (0.9").

2. The device should be installed horizontally or at a maximum angle of 45 degrees if

installed in a cone.

3. To avoid interference from trub, the device should not be installed too close to the

lower parts of the fermenter.

4. The probe must be fully submerged in the liquid and have a minimum of 50cm/20” of

liquid above it.

5. The minimum distance from the probe tip to the inner wall of the fermenter should be

12cm.

6. The device cannot be installed in a pipe due to the potential for pockets of gas and

particles affecting readings.
