When installing the meas. probe in a vessel,
be aware that conical heaps which alter the
switching point can form in solid materials.
We recommend selecting an installation
location where the electrode detects the
average value of the conical heap.
The meas. probe must be installed in a way
that takes the filling and emptying apertures
of the vessel into account. To compensate
meas. errors caused by the conical heap,
you should install the electrode at a distance
of approx.
d /

from the vessel wall.
