If VEGAMIP 62 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false meas
-
urement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAMIP
62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling
openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
Microwaves can penetrate non-conductive materials. Hence, it is pos-
sible to measure through the wall of non-conductive vessels.

In metal vessels, you have to mount VEGAMIP 62 on flanges or
threaded sockets. It is also possible to measure through a window. In
general, all products such as glass, ceramic and plastic are suitable
as window material.
