Page 6: Mounting
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the device in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible down to the bottom. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a later time with existing buildup.

This applies especially if buildup on the vessel wall is to be expected. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a later time with existing buildup.
