CAUTION!
Do not install the device above objects in the silo (ladder, supports etc.). Objects in the silo can
cause parasite radar signals. If there are parasite radar signals, the device will not measure
correctly.
If it is not possible to install the device on another part of the silo, do an empty spectrum scan.
INFORMATION!
We recommend that you configure the device when the silo is empty.
INFORMATION!
For the best device performance, the antenna should be silo-intrusive. Refer to the illustration
that follows.
