3.7 Mounting restrictions
Follow these recommendations to make sure that the device measures correctly. They have an
effect on the performance of the device.
3.8 How to attach the weather protection to the device
The device and the weather protection option are supplied assembled in the same box. If you
send an order for the weather protection after delivery of the device, obey the instructions that
follow:
WARNING!
If the device uses a float to measure the level of the liquid, slowly pressurize the bypass
chamber. A float can damage the PEEK cone of the radar level transmitter at the top of the
bypass chamber.
CAUTION!
If there are parasitic signals, the device will not measure correctly. Parasitic signals are caused
by sudden changes in bypass chamber diameter in the path of the radar beam.
