The analogue level probe con-
tains a reference system (R)
to determine the material char-
acteristics. The position of the
reference system depends on the
probe, see Fig. 1 + Fig. 2.
This reference system is at least
20 mm and max. 80 mm. It is
dependent on the measuring
range (M).
Please refer to the data sheet for the exact dimensions of your probe.

The analogue measuring range
(M) contains the reference sys-
tem (R).
The analogue measuring range
(M) of the probe must be mount-
ed in a range of the container
without change in diameter of
the cross section in order to
guarantee the linearity of the
output signal.
Changes in cross section lead
to non-linearity, due to conical
sections for example.

The inactive area (IB1) is located
at the tip of the probe and is 4-15
mm, depending on the material of
the probe rod.
The inactive range (IBH) serves
to mount the probe.
The inactive range (IBS) should
be 1/3 of the tank diameter from
the end of the measuring range
(M) to the container cover or
holder of the probe (if made of
metal), but at least 50 mm, in
order to avoid non-linearities.
