VEGA VEGAPULS 63 (≥ 2.0.0 - ≤ 3.8) 4 … 20 mA_HART - four-wire - Manual (Page 16)

I f the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS 63 on a socket piece. You will find recommended values
for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should
be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Then carry out a
false echo storage.

T he mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals.
V essel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches,
heating spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with
the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the
radar signals have a "clear view" to the measured product.
I n case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
