KROHNE OPTISOUND 3010C 2wire EN - Manual (Page 11)

4.2 Mounting information
Screw OPTISOUND 3010 C into the mounting socket with an
appropriate spanner applied to the hexagon of the process
fitting. Max. torque see chapter "Technical data".
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in!
Applying tightening force to the housing can damage its
internal mechanical components.
When mounting OPTISOUND 3010 C, keep a distance of at
least 200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is
installed in the center of dished or rounded vessel tops,
multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be faded out
by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup").
If this distance cannot be maintained, a false echo storage
should be carried out during setup. This applies particularly if
buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In this case, we
recommend repeating the false echo storage later on with
existing buildup.

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to
mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement
is then possible down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.
