larly with very heavy solids and large meas. lengths. The max. permis-
sible load is stated in chapter "
Technical data
".
In silos for bulk solids, material cones can form and change the
switching point. Please keep this in mind when installing the sensor
in the vessel. We recommend selecting an installation location where
the vibrating fork detects an average value of the material cone.
The tuning fork must be mounted in a way that takes the arrangement
of the filling and emptying apertures into account.
To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in
cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6
from the vessel wall.
