If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGASON 61 on sockets which are higher than the length of the
transducer. 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. Carry out a false echo storage.

To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount VE-
GASON 61 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the
vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily
for open vessels such as e.g. overflow basins.
