3.2 Installation recommendations
relating to solid silos
Installation under normal conditions
Flange version
Mounting on a very short, generally on a DIN-socket piece.
The socket piece must be directed to the center of the silo
outlet to ensure sufficient reflection in case of different
material angles of repose. The max. filling on the silo
depends on the min. distance of the respective sensor or
compact instrument.
Installation under special conditions
If the min. distance of the sensor is decreased, mounting
on a conical socket piece extension is necessary.
Information to socket piece / mounting

Separate version
In case of horizontal silo top the transducer of the separate
version in conjunction with a swivelling holder can be
easily and optimally directed to the center of the silo outlet.
The max. filling of the silo depends on the min. distance of
the respective sensor or compact instrument.
Min. distance
- Cylindrical socket pieces acc. to the values in the
schedule (see page 23) should only be used in silos
after consultance.
- Chamfer the edges of the socket piece.
- There must be no weldment joints inside the socket
piece.
Important:
The distance from the mounting position to the filling and
suction openings should be as large as possible.
