VEGA VEGASON 65 Foundation Fieldbus - Manual (Page 20)

I n vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to direct the
sensor to the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.

P referably the transducer should be mounted without socket flush to
the vessel top.
I f the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGASON 65 on a socket piece. The socket end should be smooth
and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Carry out a false echo storage.
A lign the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product surface
to achieve optimum measuring results.
Fig. 12: Alignment in liquids
T o optimally align the sensor to solid products, a swivelling holder can
be implemented.
T he ultrasonic sensor should be installed at a location where no
installations cross the ultrasonic beam.
