If you cannot keep this distance you should carry out a false echo

storage before setup. This applies mainly if buildup on the vessel wall

is expected. In this case, we recommend repeating a false echo stor-

age later with existing buildup.

Mounting should not be too close to the inflowing material as the

microwave signal will be interferred. The optimum mounting position is

on the opposite of the filling. To avoid strong pollution, the distance to

the filter or dust extraction must be as big as possible.

With bulk solids silos with lateral pneumatic filling, mounting should

not be in the filling stream as the microwave signal will be interferred.

The optimum mounting position is next to the filling. To avoid strong

pollution, the distance to the filter or dust extraction must be as big as

possible.
