The measurement range and accuracy are guaranteed only when the antenna is pointed at an angle
perpendicular to the material surface, and there is no presence of airborne dust, vapor, and agitated
foam. If these conditions are not satisfied, the measurement range and accuracy may differ according to
the measurement conditions.
Ensure that freezing and/or condensing will not occur inside the electronic unit.
If the cable gland is not tightened or loosens, water may enter and damage the equipment. When the
equipment operates in the presence of process gases and/or fluids (especially corrosive gases those
materials may penetrate through the resin of the cone antenna and damage the equipment.
Cable size: AWG 22 to 16 in (0.3 mm
If the material could enter the dead zone, a stand pipe can be used to ensure that the material surface
cannot reach the dead zone of the level meter.
Mounting flange will mount to 150# ANSI type.
Recommended height of stand pipe: the end of the horn antenna must be protruded a minimum of
0.4 in. (10 mm) from the stand pipe or the unit will not function properly. Avoid too long of a stand pipe to
prevent malfunction of the instrument.
Set the value of 100% (20 mA) level so that the dead zone is included. Setting the 100% (20 mA) level
within the blind sector will cause a malfunction of the instrument.
