Patent ID: 7686931

Claim:
An insertion electrode device for installing a sensor probe in a container for a measuring medium, with the device comprising: a probe housing configured for attachment to a container; a probe protector tube to receive, hold, and guide a sensor probe; a safety adapter that is coupled to an end of the probe protector tube and over a portion of the probe header that protrudes from the end of the probe protector tube, the safety adapter having means for preventing bi-axial movement of the sensor probe, said means being configured to interact with the sensor probe by one of engaging a recess of the sensor probe or reach over a step of the sensor probe; and a coupling for electrical connections of the sensor probe, wherein the probe housing has a protective sleeve configured for connection to the probe protector tube to protect the electrical coupling from mechanical stress and moisture, wherein the safety adapter is screwed onto the probe protector tube so that the means for preventing bi-axial movement of the sensor probe are over the portion of the probe header.
