10 BM 102
Installation of two devices
If two devices are to be used on the same tank, these should be mounted at a distance of at least
2 m or 6 ¾ ft away from each other. If not, interferences from the electromagnetic (EM) fields
generated by both instruments may cause measurement errors.
Not applicable to coaxial probes - the outer shell of the probe contains the EM field: no minimum
distance required.
Process connection
For the gauge to make accurate measurements:
• The tank process connection must be level.
• Ensure a good fit with the gauge process connection
• The tank roof should not deform under the weight of the gauge
Process connection and entry pipe
Caution:
Do not put the nozzle close to the entry pipe. Pouring the product directly onto the
probe will give false readings. Install deflector plate if impossible to distance gauge
from entry pipe.
