3.3.4 Special instructions
When installing in stirring tanks, observe lateral load of probes. Possibly check whether a non-
contact process, ultrasound or radar would not be better suited, above all if the stirrer generates
large mechanical loads on the probe.
Installation in horizontal cylindrical and
standing tanks
• Use a rod probe for measuring ranges up to 4
m. For anything over this or if there is too free
cover space use a rope probe.
• Any distance from wall, as long as occasional
contact is prevented.
Installation in stilling well or bypass
• Rod and rope probes can also be installed in
pipes (stilling well, bypass).
• When installing in metal pipes up to DN 150/
6", the measuring sensitivity of the device
increases such that liquids as of DK 1.4 can be
measured.
• Welded joints that protrude up to approx. 5
mm/0.2" inwards do not influence
measurement.
