VEGAPULS 61 • Foundation Fieldbus
Fig. 9: Recommended socket mounting
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS 61 on sockets which are higher than the length of the
antenna. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the
following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free,
if possible also rounded. After installation you must carry out a false
echo storage.
