Abstract
A method for shortening a cable, which is mounted in a device housing of a measurement device, of a cable probe, comprising the step of: removing the measurement device electronics; interrupting the electrical connections between the measurement device electronics and the cable probe; releasing a built-in sleeve which surrounds the cable, as a result of which at least one seal which surrounds the cable and acts with respect to a medium to be measured, is relieved of load; drawing out of the device housing the built-in sleeve, together with the cable and the seal; shortening the cable by a desired length; once again drawing over the remaining cable of the cable probe, a seal, a built-in sleeve and clamping cone and mounting the cable in the built-in sleeve, by pulling it into said built-in sleeve; once again making the electrical connections between the cable probe and the measurement device electronics; and once again closing the device housing once the measurement device electronics have been fitted.
