Keep in mind that buildup can form on the spacers. Strong buildup
can influence the measurement.

Note:
Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for extremely
adhesive products.
Instructions for the measurement:
•
The 100 % point should not be above the upper tube connection
to the vessel
•
The 0 % point should not be below the lower tube connection to
the vessel
•
A false signal suppression with integrated sensor is generally
recommended to reach the maximum possible accuracy
If there is a danger of the cable probe touching the vessel wall during
operation due to product movements or agitators etc., the measuring
probe should be securely fixed.
In the gravity weight there is an internal thread (M8), e.g. for an eye-
bolt (optional) - (article no. 2.1512).
Make sure that the probe cable is not completely taut. Avoid tensile
loads on the cable.
Avoid undefined vessel connections, i.e. the connection must be
either grounded reliably or isolated reliably. Any undefined change of
this requirement can lead to measurement errors.
In case of difficult installation conditions, the probe can be also
mounted laterally. For this purpose, adapt the rod with rod extensions
or bow-shaped segments.
