Instructions for orientation:
•
Note marking of the polarisation plane on the sensor
•
With threaded fitting, the marking is on the hexagon, with flange
connection between the two flange holes
•
The pipe connections to the vessel must be in one plane with this
marking
Instructions for the measurement:
•
The 100 % point must not be above the upper tube connection to
the vessel
•
The 0 % point must not be below the lower tube connection to the
vessel
•
Min. distance sensor reference plane to the upper edge upper
tube connection > 300 mm
•
For the parameter adjustment, select "Application standpipe" and
enter the tube diameter to compensate errors due to running time
shift
•
A false signal suppression with integrated sensor is recommended
but not mandatory
•
The measurement through a ball valve with complete run is pos-
sible
Constructional requirements on the bypass pipe:
•
Material metal, smoother inner tube
•
In case of an extremely rough tube inner surface, use an inserted
tube (tube in tube) or a radar sensor with tube antenna
•
Flanges are welded to the tube according to the orientation of the
polarisation level
•
Gap size with junctions ≤ 0.1 mm, for example, when using a ball
valve or intermediate flanges with single pipe sections
•
The antenna diameter of the sensor should correspond to the
inner diameter of the tube
•
Diameter should be constant over the complete length
