    3 Mounting Mounting Mounting preparations - Horn antenna VEGAPULS 68 is also available in versions where the antenna has a bigger diameter than the process fitting (thread, flange). The antenna must therefore be disconnected from the process fitting before mount- ing. Proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the hexagon socket screws (3) on the antenna socket with an Allen wrench (size 3) 2. Remove the antenna (4) Note: The plastic cone may not be pulled out of the antenna socket.
