Mounting Location
•
Recommended distance B wall-
mounted rope probe: ~1/6...1/4 of the
container diameter (min. 100 mm/4",
concrete silos: min. 500 mm).
•
Not central (2) in metallic tanks.
•
Not in the filling curtain (3).
•
Please order the probe length such that
it ends approx 30 mm above the floor of
the tank.
•
Temperature conditions must be met.
•
It is recommended that a protective
cover (1) be used, in order to protect the
transmitter against direct sunlight or
rain. Mounting and demounting are
carried out simply with a clamp (see
»Accessories« on page 77.).
Tank installations
•
Select the mounting location such that
the distance to internals (4) (e.g. limit
switch, struts) is > 300 mm.
Optimization options
•
Interference echo suppression:
Measurement can be optimised by
electronically tuning out interference
echoes.
•
Bypass pipe and stilling well (only for
liquids): for viscosities of up to 500 cst, a
bypass pipe, stilling well or a coax probe
can be used to prevent interference.
