4 Mounting
VEGAPULS 63 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol
41364-EN-170711
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

The measuring range of VEGAPULS 63 begins physically at the end
of the antenna; the adjustment, however, begins at the reference
plane.Thereferenceplaneisdierentdependingonthesensorver-
sion.
