Operating conditions: Installation

Probe selection (→ ä 4)
Mounting location
• Do not mount the probe in the filling curtain (2).
• Mount the probe at such a distance away from the
wall (B) that, in the event of buildup on the wall,
there is still a minimum distance of 100 mm
between the probe and the buildup.
• Mount the probe as far away as possible from
internals.
• Minimum distance from the probe end to the tank
floor is 10 mm.
• When installing outdoors, it is recommended that
you use a weather protection cover (1)
("Accessories", → ä 45).
Tank internals
• If the distance to the internals is < 300 mm,
"mapping" must be carried out, and the
measurement capability may be restricted.
• During operation, the probe must not touch any
internals within the measuring range.
Optimization options
• Interference echo suppression: measurement can
be optimized by electronically tuning out
interference echoes.
Note!
You must ensure that the probe does not come into contact with the container wall, container bottom and tank
internals.
