VEGA VEGAPULS 63 (≥ 2.0.0 - ≤ 3.8) 4 … 20 mA_HART - two-wire - Manual (Page 17)

I f large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false
echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.
S
mall, inclined sheet metal baffles above the installations scatter the
radar signals and prevent direct interfering reflections.

I f there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal memory should be
carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering
reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different
positions.

T hrough the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the product surface.
I f foams lead to measurement errors, you should use the biggest
possible radar antennas and low frequency radar sensors (C-band).
A s an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These
are unaffected by foam generation and are best suited for such
applications.
