In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.
Caution:
It is not possible to measure on the gravity weight. The measuring
range of the probe ends at the upper edge of the gravity weight.
If the instrument is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount the
instrument at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from
filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
This applies particularly to instrument versions with a longer probe.
