VEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol

47252-EN-210205

Fig. 15: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium

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.
