3.4.6 Special instructions
When installing in stirring tanks, observe lateral load of probes. Possibly check whether a non-
contact 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.
• When using metal tanks, it is preferable to
mount probes (1) eccentrically.
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.
Caution!
In vacuum applications and in applications where extremely condensate fermation may occur, there
is the danger that the vessel is completely flooded. For media groups with high DC values, this may
result in a measuring value lower than the actual level. Please contact your local Endress+Hauser
representative for remedial actions.
