Large material heaps are detected with several sensors, which can be

mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this type of application, it is best

to orient the sensor toward the solid surface. A mutual infuence of the

sensors is not possible.

Information:

Keep in mind that for these applications, the sensors are designed for

relatively slow level changes. When using VEGAPULS 68 on a mov-

able bracket, the max. measuring rate must be observed (see chapter

"Technical data").

Instruments for a temperature range up to 250 °C or up to 450 °C

have a distance piece between process fitting and electronics hous-

ing. Ths distance piece is used for thermal decoupling of the electron-

ics against high process temperatures.
Information:

The distance piece must only be incorporaed up to max. 50 mm in

the vessel installation. Only then, a reliable temperature decoupling is

guaranteed.
