The mounting socket should be as short as possible and its end
rounded. This reduces false echoes from the vessel mounting socket.
Fig. 16: Recommended socket mounting
In case of good reflective properties of the medium, you can also
mount VEGAPULS 64 on a longer socket piece.
Note:
When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a
false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").
You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following
illustration or the tables. The values come from typical applications.
Deviating from the proposed dimensions, also longer sockets are
possible, however the local conditions must be taken into account.

The VEGAPULS 64 with flange and encapsulated antenna system,
the PTFE washer of the antenna encapsulation serves also as pro-
cess seal.
