Vessel installations Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, often cause false echoes. Make sure when planning your measuring location that the radar signals have free access to the measured product. Vessel installations Struts Correct Incorrect Ladder Ladder Struts, like other vessel installations, can cause strong false echoes that are superimposed on the useful echoes. Small baffles effectively prevent a direct reception of false echoes. These false echoes are scattered and diffused in the surrounding space and are then filtered out as "echo noise“ by the measuring electronics. Struts Correct Incorrect Shields Inflowing material Do not mount the instrument in or above the filling stream. Ensure that you detect the product surface and not the inflowing material. Inflowing material Buildup Buildup Mounting and installation Correct Incorrect If the sensor is mounted too close to the vessel wall, product buildup and other deposits on the vessel wall cause false echoes. Position the sensor at a sufficient distance from the vessel wall. Please also note chapter "4.1 General installation instructions“. Correct Incorrect 12 VEGAPULS 54K enamel 24 101-EN-041227
24 101-EN-041227 Mounting and installation Strong product movements Strong turbulence in the vessel, e.g. caused by powerful stirrers or strong chemical reactions, can seriously interfere with the measurement. A surge or bypass tube (see illustration) of sufficient size always enables reliable and problem-free measurement even if strong turbulence occurs in the vessel, provided there is no product buildup in the tube. Correct Incorrect > 500 mm Strong product movements 100 % 75 % Products tending to slight buildup can be detected by using a measuring tube with 150 mm nominal width or more. In a measuring tube of this size, buildup does not cause any problems. 0 % 2.4 Common installation mistakes Socket piece too long If the sensor is mounted in a socket extension that is too long, strong false echoes are generated which interfere with the measurement. Make sure that the horn antenna protrudes at least 10 mm out of the socket piece. Correct Incorrect VEGAPULS 54K enamel 13 > 10 mm Correct and incorrect socket length Parabolic effects on dished or arched vessel tops Round or parabolic tank tops act on the radar signals like a parabolic mirror. If the radar sensor is placed at the focal point of such a parabolic tank top, the sensor receives amplified false echoes. The optimum mounting location is generally in the range of half the vessel radius from the centre. < 10 mm 1 /2 radius Correct Mounting on a vessel with parabolic tank top Incorrect Incorrect
