If the sensor is mounted too close to the
vessel wall, buildup and adhesions of the
measured product to the vessel wall can
cause false echoes. Position the sensor at a
sufficient distance from the vessel wall.
Please also note chapter "4.2 General instal-
lation instructions“.

Inflowing material
Do not mount the instrument in or above the
filling stream. Ensure that you detect the
product surface and not the inflowing mate-
rial.

Filtering out of a level echo

Overflow basin

The expected max. high water determines
the installation height, to ensure the min.
distance of the transducer even with the
highest water level. The low water level
should be covered in the transducer area
with a shield to filter out echoes from ex-
posed basin surfaces.
