Abstract
A measurement device for measuring medium levels having a cable probe including a cable, and a method for shortening the cable of the cable probe are discussed. The cable is shortened without the need to remove the housing of the measurement device. The device has a housing in which measurement electronics are accommodated and within which the probe extends. A built-in sleeve is provided in the interior of the housing which can be removed from the housing by rotation of the built0in sleeve about its longitudinal axis. This removal provides the needed access to shorten the cable. All that is necessary are a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
