Help with 3155/3163 combo

[patchesj]

I have a 3163 surface skimmer/filter and the 3155 sensor mounted on the back of it. The problem is that on my tank the wire from the top of the 3155 optical sensor is under the rim of the tank, so I can't raise the 3163 (and my water level) to where I would like for it to go. Other an moving the optical sensor off the back of the 3163 and mounting it to the tank side, is there a way to space the 3163 further off the tank wall? Thanks

Yes, it included a pair of spacers, you would install these between the body and magnets, part 3162.500.

The 3163 included these? I keep all of my "spare" parts, I don't recall seeing them. Will need to dig in the boxes again tonight. Thanks.

They should be included.

I can't seem to find them anywhere. I did find the other magnetic sensor mount that came with the 3155. I didn't want to mount the optical sensor out by itself, figured it would be better protected by surface ripples/light impacting it if it was stuck on the back of the 3163.

They are usually packed together with the other accessories like the filter media bag. If you didn't get them I will send a set.
