    In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup. Inflowing medium The instrument should not be mounted too close to the inflowing medium, as the radar signal could be disrupted.

  • Page 21 4 Mounting Fig. 11: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium Silo with lateral filling In bulk solids silos with lateral pneumatic filling the instrument should not be mounted above the filling stream, as the radar signal will be disrupted. The optimal mounting position is to the side of the filling aperture. To avoid heavy soiling, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. VEGAPULS 69 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 22 For socket mounting, the socket should be as short as possible and its end rounded. This reduces false reflections from the socket. With threaded connection, the antenna end should protrude at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out of the socket.

  • Page 23 4 Mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGAPULS 69 on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Note: When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").
  • Page 24 With the help of an optional swivelling holder, the sensor can be easily aligned to the vessel centre. The necessary angle of inclination depends on the vessel dimensions.

  • Page 27 4 Mounting Fig. 18: VEGAPULS 69 with swivelling holder on tall, slender sockets Vessel installations The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the radar signals. Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi- rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
  • Page 28 Electronics housing Spacer Vessel insulation Mounting in multiple The walls of multiple-chamber silos are often made of profile material, chamber silo e.g. profile sheeting, to ensure the required stability. If the radar sen- sor is mounted very close to a heavily structured vessel wall, substan- tial interfering reflections can be generated. Thus the sensor should be mounted at the largest possible distance from the separating wall. VEGAPULS 69 • Foundation Fieldbus...
