If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount

VEGASON 61 on sockets which are higher than the length of the

transducer. 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. Carry out a false echo storage.

To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount VE-

GASON 61 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the

vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily

for open vessels such as e.g. overflow basins.
