Installation Location
When mounting the 3DLevelScanner M, a distance of at least 400 mm from the vessel
wall (500mm from the center of the scanner to the vessel wall) should be maintained.
If the 3DLevelScanner M is installed in the center of the vessel, multiple echoes can
occur.
Note
: It’s recommended
not
to install the 3DLevelScanner M in the center of the silo.

If this distance cannot be maintained, a false echo storage should be carried out. For
more information see
False echo storage, page 24
. This applies particularly if buildup
of residue on the vessel wall is expected.
Note
: It is very important to use “range of mapping” right after installation, in order to
map all false echoes. The results are better when the silo is empty.
