4.4 Mounting information
The illustrations on the mounting instructions show a VEGA-
PULS 62 with horn antenna. The mounting instructions also
apply to VEGAPULS 62 with parabolic antenna.
When mounting VEGAPULS 62, keep a distance of at least
200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in
the center of concave or arched vessel tops, multiple echoes
can arise. These can, however, be faded out by an appropriate
adjustment (see "Setup").
If this distance cannot be maintained, a false echo storage
should be carried out during setup. This applies particularly if
buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such case, we
recommend repeating the false echo storage later on with
existing buildup.

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to
mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement
is then possible down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.
