  • Page 17 If the socket height cannot be maintained, an antenna extension will be necessary. This prevents from false reflections of the socket piece. Fig. 9: Tube extension Tip: VEGAPULS 66 is optionally also available with antenna extension. The antenna length can thus be selected such that the antenna end protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket. Sensor orientation In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the prod- uct surface to an achieve optimum measurement.
