Page 7: Mounting
Mounting instructions Installation position Mount VEGAFLEX 82 in such a way that the distance to vessel instal- lations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least 500 mm (19.7 in). - Page 8 Use a probe in coax version for applications in liquids. Fig. 3: Mounting in non-metallic vessel Flange Metal sheet Concrete vessel When mounting in thick concrete ceilings, VEGAFLEX 82 should be mounted front flush to the lower edge. In concrete silos, the distance to the wall should be at least 500 mm (20 in). VEGAFLEX 82 • Modbus...
