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
diagramm.

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