User's Manual

Avoid mounting the instrument too close to the vessel wall. Reflections
from the vessel wall or from vessel installation can influence the
switching accuracy.

If VEGAMIP 61 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount
VEGAMIP 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g.
from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
Microwaves can penetrate non-conductive materials. Hence, it is
possible to measure through the wall of non-conductive vessels.

In metal vessels, you have to mount VEGAMIP 61 on flanges or
threaded sockets. It is also possible to measure through a window. In
general, all products such as glass, ceramic and plastic are suitable as
window material.
