Installation in concrete silos
Installation, for example, into a thick concrete ceiling should be made flush with the lower edge. Alternatively,
the probe can also be installed into a pipe that must not protrude over the lower edge of the silo ceiling.
The pipe should kept at a minimum length. Installation suggestions see diagram.

Strong dust generation can lead to build-up behind the center washer.
This can cause an interference signal. For other installation possibilities please contact Endress+Hauser.
