VEGAPULS SR 68 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire
38294-EN-160707
The silo walls of multiple chamber silos are often made of profile
walls, such as e.g. profile sheeting, to ensure the required stability. If
the radar sensor is mounted very close to a heavily structured vessel
wall, considerable false reflections can be generated. Hence the sen
-
sor should be mounted at a large distance from the separating wall.
The optimal mounting position is on the outer wall of the silo with the
sensor directed towards the emptying aperture in the silo center.
