6.1.1 Mounting position
A0016883
• Recommended distance A from wall
to outer edge of nozzle: ~ 1/6 of
vessel diameter.
Nevertheless the device should not be
installed closer than 20 cm (7.87 in)
to the vessel wall.
If the wall of the vessel is not smooth
(corrugated metal, welding seams,
irregularities etc.) the distance from
the wall should be kept as large as
possible. If necessary, use an
alignment device to prevent
interference reflections from the wall
(Verweisziel existiert nicht, aber
@y.link.required='true').
• Not in the center (2), as interference
can cause signal loss.
• Not above the fill stream (3).
• It is recommended to us a weather
protection cover (1) in order to protect
the device from direct sun or rain.
• In extremely dusty applications, the
integrated air purge connection can
prevent clogging of the antenna
