Tip:
VEGAPULS 62 is optionally also available with antenna
extension. Hence the antenna length can be selected such
that the antenna end protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the
socket.
Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product
surface to achieve optimum measuring results.

The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place
where no other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the
microwave signals.
Vessel installations such as, for example, ladders, limit
switches, heating spirals, struts, etc. can cause false echoes
that get superimposed on the useful echo. Make sure when
planning your measuring site that the radar sensor has a "clear
view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage
should be carried out during setup.
