The guided microwave principle requires a metal surface on the pro-
cess fitting. Therefore use in plastic vessels etc. an instrument version
with flange (from DN 50) or place a metal sheet (ø > 200 mm/8 in)
beneath the process fitting when screwing it in.
Make sure that the plate has direct contact with the process fitting.
When installing rod or cable probes without metal vessel wall, e.g.
in plastic vessels, the measured value can be influenced by strong
electromagnetic fields (emitted interference according to EN 61326:
class A).
Use a probe in coax version for applications in liquids.
