LBR • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART
62273-EN-200520
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
LBR on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be
smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
Note:
When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a
false signal suppression (see chapter "
Parameter adjustment
").
You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following
illustration or the tables. The values come from typical applications.
Deviating from the proposed dimensions, also longer sockets are
possible, however the local conditions must be taken into account.
