68 is optionally also available with antenna extension.
Hence the antenna length can be selected such that the antenna end
protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket.
The silo walls of multiple chamber silos are often made of profile walls,
such as e.g. profile sheeting, to ensure the required stability. If the
radar sensor is mounted very close to a heavily structured vessel wall,
considerable false reflections can be generated. Hence the sensor
should be mounted at a large distance from the separating wall. The
optimal mounting position is on the outer wall of the silo with the sensor
directed towards the emptying aperture in the silo center. Mounting in multiple
