When mounting the VEGAPULS 65, keep a distance of at least
500
mm (19.69
in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the
center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise.
These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment
(see chapter "
Setup
").
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the
vessel wall is expected. In such a case, it is recommended to repeat
the false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup.

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.
