Measuring range
The effective range of the sensors is dependent on the operating conditions. To estimate the range, proceed as
follows (see also the example):
1.
Determine which of the influences shown in the following table are appropriate for your process.
2.
Add the corresponding attenuation values.
3.
From the total attenuation, use the diagram to calculate the range.
Fluid surface
Attenuation

A:
Attenuation (dB);
R:
Range (m)
Example
• Silo with rubble:
~ 40dB
• small quantities of
filling curtain:
~ 5dB
• little dust:
~ 5dB
total: ~
50dB
=> Range approx. 8 m
