The guided microwave principle requires a metal surface on the pro-
cess tting. Therefore use in plastic vessels etc. an instrument version
with ange (from DN 50) or place a metal sheet (ø > 200 mm/8 in)
beneath the process tting when screwing it in.
Make sure that the plate has direct contact with the process tting.
When installing rod or cable probes in vessels without metal walls,
e.g. in plastic vessels, the measured value can be inuenced by
strong electromagnetic elds (emitted interference according to
EN 61326: class A). In this case, use a probe with coaxial version.

If possible, avoid sockets. Mount the sensor ush with the vessel top.
If this is not possible, use short sockets with small diameter.
Higher sockets or sockets with a bigger diameter can generally be
used. They simply increase the upper blocking distance. Check if this
is relevant for your measurement.
