Obstacles in the tank
Figure 2-24: 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-bend extension
3 Solution 3: Attach the device to the side of the tank and use an L-bend (right angle) extension
CAUTION!
Do not put the device near to the product inlet. If the product that enters the tank touches the
antenna, the device will measure incorrectly. If the product fills the tank directly below the
antenna, the device will also measure incorrectly.
Figure 2-25: Product inlets
1 The device is in the correct position.
2 The device is too near to the product inlet.
