Mounting
Installation in concrete silos
Installation, for example, into a thick concrete ceiling should be made flush with the lower edge.
Alternatively, the probe can also be installed into a pipe that must not protrude over the lower
edge of the silo ceiling. The pipe should kept at a minimum length. Installation suggestions see
diagramm.
Strong dust generation can lead to build-up behind the center washer. This can cause an
intereference signal. For other installation possibilities please contact Endress+Hauser.
2.3.7 Installation in bulk solids silo
Tensile load
Bulk solids exert tensile forces on rope probes whose height increases with:
• the length of the probe, i.e. max. cover
• the bulk density of the product
• the silo diameter
• the diameter of the probe rope
