Dished tank ceiling
On dished tank ceilings, please do not mount
the instrument in the centre, but approx.
1 /
2
vessel radius from the centre. Dished tank
ceilings can act as paraboloidal reflectors. If
the transducer is placed at the focal point of
the parabolic ceiling, the transducer receives
amplified false echoes. The transducer
should be mounted outside the focal point.
Amplified echoes caused by parabolic sur-
faces are thereby avoided.

Open vessels
On open vessels, using the instrument on an
extended mounting bracket is a practical
solution. Mount the low-weight sensor onto
such a bracket and ensure a sufficient dis-
tance to the vessel wall.
