VEGA VEGAPULS 63 (≥ 2.0.0 - ≤ 3.8) Foundation Fieldbus - Manual (Page 16)

If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS
63 on a socket piece. You will find recommended values
for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should
be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Then carry out a
false echo storage.

Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product surface
to achieve optimum measurement.

The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals.
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches,
heating spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with
the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the
radar signals have a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
