Mounting
Abrasion
In very abrasive products, e.g. the measure-
ment of grit, a measuring cable without insu-
lation should be used. Keep the useful life of
the cable in mind.
Sockets
Avoid long mounting sockets. Mount the
sensor flush and use short sockets with small
diameters.
Material cone
Keep in mind when installing VEGAFLEX on
the vessel, that material cones can form in
solids, causing distortion of the measured
value. We recommend choosing a mounting
location where the cable detects an average
value of the material cone. This location is not
obligatory, but it will increase the accuracy of
the measurement.
VEGAFLEX should be installed with respect
to the position of the filling and emptying
apertures of the vessel. To compensate for
measurement errors caused by centered
filling of the material cone, the cable should
be installed at a distance of
d /
6
from the ves-
sel wall or vessel installation. In any case,
keep a min. distance of 300 mm.
