Depending on the application, soilings or sediments can accumulate on the probe. A thin, even layer
only influences measurement slightly. Thick layers can dampen the signal and then reduce the
measuring range. Heavy, uneven build-up, adhesion e.g. through crystallisation, can lead to
incorrect measurement. In this case, we recommend that you use a non-contact measuring
principle, or check the probe regularly for soiling
Electromagnetic compatibility to EN 61326 and NAMUR Recommendation EMC (NE21). Details
are provided in the Declaration of Conformity. A standard installation cable is sufficient if only the
analog signal is used..
When installing the probes in metal and concrete tanks and when using a coax probe:
• Interference emission to EN 61326 - x series, electrical equipment Class B.
• Interference immunity to EN 61326 - x series, requirements for industrial areas and NAMUR
Recommendation NE 21 (EMC)
The measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields when installing rod and rope
probes without a shielding/metallic wall, e.g. plastic, and in wooden silos.
• Interference emission to EN 61326 - x series, electrical equipment Class A.
• Interference Immunity: the measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields.
