TORAGE
Lift the instrument using both hands, or if necessary, use a hoist. Do not lift the instrument
by the probe. It is a critically sensitive part.
Protect the instrument from mechanical impacts and falling. The electronics
is a sensitive and fragile unit.
Do not bend coaxial and rod probes.
The device must be supported in the marked places.
The cable probe must not be looped, broken, or frayed.
The minimum bending diameter is 0.4 m (16″).
All these may cause a measurement error.

General mounting instructions
The size and position of the connector on the top of the tank (and the distance from the wall), the internal anti-reflection fittings, the rough joints, the welds and the
shape and design of the top and bottom of the tank are very important for the correct operation of the device. Any factor that affects the formation of the electromagnetic
field of the probe also significantly impairs the measurement accuracy. The coaxial probe is an exception because it has no external electromagnetic field.
Threaded process connection
Lifter height
Lifter intrusion into the tank
The easiest way to mount onto the tank is with a
device screwed into a 1 "BSP, 1" NPT, 1½ "BSP
or 1½" NPT threaded hole.
Do not use a lifter longer than the probe diameter
for individual probes and dusty applications.
h ≤
Ød, where
h = lifter height
Ød = lifter diameter
Consult HYCONTROL if the above condition cannot
be met!
The lifter must not extend into the tank,
as the protruding part interferes with the
measurement!
