Obstacles in the tank
Figure 3-11: Obstacles in the tank
Do not put the device directly above obstacles (agitator, support beams, heating tubes etc.). Parasitic signals from obsta- cles will cause the device to measure
incorrectly.
1 Solution 1: Put the device on another process connection away from obstacles
2 Solution 2: Use the same process connection, but also use an S-shaped extension
3 Solution 3: Attach the device to the side of the tank and use a 90° bend extension
Devices with Metallic Horn antenna
Figure 3-12: Devices with Metallic Horn antenna
1 If the roof is not flat, the antenna must project out of the nozzle
2 Short tank nozzle
3 Long tank nozzle (device with an antenna extension)
4 If the roof is flat (symmetrical tank fitting), it is not necessary for the antenna to project out of the nozzle
The antenna must project out of the nozzle. If necessary, use an antenna extension. If the tank fitting is symmetrical, it is not
necessary for the antenna to project out of the nozzle.
