Mounting Location
• Recommended distance B wall-mounted rope
probe: ~1/6...1/4 of the container diameter
(min. 100 mm/4", concrete silos: min. 500
mm).
• Not central (2) in metallic tanks.
• Not in the filling curtain (3).
• Please order the probe length such that it ends
approx 30 mm above the floor of the tank.
• Temperature conditions must be met.
• It is recommended that a protective cover (1)
be used, in order to protect the transmitter
against direct sunlight or rain. Mounting and
demounting are carried out simply with a
clamp (see "Accessories" on → ä 89).

Tank installations
• Select the mounting location such that the
distance to internals (4) (e.g. limit switch,
struts) is > 300 mm.
Optimization options
• Interference echo suppression: Measurement
can be optimised by electronically tuning out
interference echoes.
• Bypass pipe and stilling well (only for liquids):
for viscosities of up to 500 cSt, a bypass pipe,
stilling well or a coax probe can be used to
prevent interference.
