Caution:
When mounting on the vessel ceiling mark sure that the sensor does
not overfill. Depending on the measured product, this can cause a
mechanical damage.
In a cylindrical silo with conical outlet, the mounting iis carried out
on a socket. It should be positioned on one third up to the half of the

Fig. 18: Mounting position and orientation
Large material heaps are best measured with several instruments,
which can be mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this type of ap-
plication it is advantageous to orient the sensor perpendicular to the
bulk solid surface.
The sensors do not influence each other.
