Installation in plastic containers
Please note that the "guided level radar" measuring principle requires a metallic surface at the process
connection! When installing the rod and rope probes in plastic silos, whose silo cover is also made of plastic or
silos with wood cover, the probes must either be mounted in a ≥ DN50 (2") metallic flange, or a metal sheet
with diameter of ≥ 200 mm must be mounted under the screw-in piece.

• It is also possible to mount the probe externally on the tank wall for measuring in Aqueous solutions.
Measurement then takes place through the tank wall without contacting the medium. If people are in the
vicinity of the probe mounting location, a plastic half pipe with a diameter of approx. 200 mm, or some other
protective unit, must be affixed externally to the probe to prevent any influences on the measurement.
• There must not be any metallic reinforcement rings secured to the tank.
• The wall thickness should be < 15 mm for at GFR/PP.
• There must be no open space between the tank wall and the probe.
