  • Page 11 6-2. Mounting direction At the application with repose angle and the mounting position near the sidewall etc, the reflection Intensity of Level Meter may weaken or the noise reflection is likely to occur. As a countermeasure, the change of mounting direction can improve it in some cases. Level Meter has a marking at the reference position of electric field direction on Adapter.

Installation precaution (3) 【False reflections】 In environments where interfering signals are generated, level meter may indicate incorrect measurements results. False reflections up to a certain level of strength can be suppressed by executing the echo learning function.
