3.3 Installation instructions
3.3.1 Mounting tools
A 4 mm Allen key is needed to turn the housing.
3.3.2 General instructions
Normally use rod probes. Rope probes are used for measuring ranges > 4m and with restricted
ceiling clearance which does not allow the installation of rigid probes.
!
Note!
You must ensure that the probe does not come into contact with the container wall, container
bottom and tank internals.
Mounting location
• Do not mount the probe in the filling curtain
(2).
• Mount the probe at such a distance away from
the wall (B) that, in the event of buildup on
the wall, there is still a minimum distance of
100 mm between the probe and the buildup.
• Mount the probe as far away as possible from
internals.
• The minimum distance from the probe end to
the tank floor is 10 mm.
• If installing outdoors, it is recommended that
you use a weather protection cover (1). See

Tank internals
• If the distance to the internals is < 300 mm,
"mapping" must be carried out, and the
measurement capability may be restricted.
• During operation, the probe must not touch
any internals within the measuring range.
Optimization options
• Interference echo suppression: measurement
can be optimized by electronically suppressing
interference echoes.
