3.4.6 Special notes for bulk solids
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.
• In the case of bulk solids, as great a distance as
possible from the filling curtain is especially
important to avoid wear.
• In concrete silos, a large distance (B) should
be observed between the probe and the
concrete wall, if possible ≥ 1m, but at least
0.5 m
• The installation of rope probes must be carried
out carefully. If possible, installation should be
carried out when the silo is empty.
• Check the probe regularly for defect.
