Instruction manual
HS2 and HS2P 
The procedure for replacing the rods is as follows: 
1.  If using the HS2P, slip off the plastic bumper. 
2.  Use the wrench (pn 26156) to unscrew the rods. 
3.  Ensure that the threads of the replacement rods and the sensor body are 
clean and free from damage. 
4.  Apply thread locking compound (pn 13665) on the threads of the 
replacement rods.  
Use the thread locking compound sparingly. A thick coating 
may affect measurements.    The small tube of  Loctite
®
222MS Threadlocker that is shipped with the HydroSense II 
is enough to treat several sets of rods. 
5.  Use the wrench (pn 26156) to screw in the rods. Full contact between the 
rod’s nut and sensor body is required for proper operation. 
Do not over tighten the rods.  This can damage the threaded 
inserts of the sensor head, permanently damaging the 
sensor. 
6.  If using the HS2P, put on the plastic bumper. 
7.  Wait 3 to 12 hours before using the HydroSense II to allow the thread 
locking compound to cure.  The required curing time depends on 
temperature.  Allowing the threading compound to cure prevents loosening 
of the rods.
