If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the

compact foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may
form on the medium surface.
If foams lead to measurement errors, you should use the biggest pos-
sible radar antennas or sensors with guided radar.
4.5 Measurement setup - Flow
In general, the following must be observed while mounting the device:
•
Mounting the sensor on the upstream or inlet side
•
