VEGA VEGAPULS 62 (≥ 2.0.0 - ≥ 4.0.0) Modbus and Levelmaster protocol Approval according to LPR radio standard - Manual (Page 22)

Constructional requirements on the bypass pipe:
l Material metal, smoother inner tube
l In case of an extremely rough tube inner surface, use an inserted
tube (tube in tube) or a radar sensor with tube antenna
l Flanges are welded to the tube according to the orientation of the
polarisation level
l Gap size with junctions ≤ 0.1 mm, for example, when using a ball
valve or intermediate flanges with single pipe sections
l The antenna diameter of the sensor should correspond to the
inner diameter of the tube
l Diameter should be constant over the complete length
Instruments for a temperature range up to 250 °C or up to 450 °C have
a distance piece between process fitting and electronics housing. Ths
distance piece is used for thermal decoupling of the electronics
against high process temperatures.
Information:
The distance piece must only be incorporaed up to max. 50 mm in the
vessel installation. Only then, a reliable temperature decoupling is
guaranteed.

For level measurements in concrete silos, the sensors are often
mounted in protective boxes. These boxes can be for example
metallic, closed subsurface enclosures.
