If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on
the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating
the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.
The instrument should not be mounted too close to the inflowing
medium, as the radar signal could be disrupted.
Silo with filling from top
The optimal mounting position is opposite the filling aperture. To avoid
heavy soiling, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as
large as possible.

Silo with lateral filling
In bulk solids silos with lateral pneumatic filling the instrument should
not be mounted above the filling stream, as the radar signal will be
disrupted. The optimal mounting position is to the side of the filling
aperture. To avoid heavy soiling, the distance to any filter or dust
exhauster should be as large as possible.
