Mounting versions

Straining clamp
Most simply mount the instrument via the
straining clamp. For this purpose, the connec-
tion cable is provided with a strain relief wire of
Kevlar.
In order to avoid faulty measured values, make
sure that the sensor does not oscillate.

Mounting bracket
For a rigid mounting, a mounting bracket with
opening for thread G1½, e.g. from the VEGA
product range, is recommended. The mounting
of the sensor in the bracket is carried out via a
G1½ counter nut of plastic. Take note of chapter
"Mounting instructions" for the distance to the
wall.

Mounting instructions

Polarisation
The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor
are electromagnetic waves. The polarisation is
the direction of the electrical wave component.
By turning the instrument in the mounting strap,
the polarisation can be used to reduce the
effects of false echoes.
The position of the polarisation is in the middle
of the type label on the instrument.

Inflowing medium
Do not mount the instrument in or above the
filling stream. Make sure that you detect the
product surface, not the inflowing product.
