To obtain the best return signal from the product level it is recommended to mount the MT2000 cou-

pler directly into the top of the vessel if the vessel material is metal, or into a metal plate if the vessel is non-metallic.  
A flat metal surface perpendicular to the probe acts as a “launch plate”, minimizing the loss of microwave energy 
from dispersion (Figure 3-1). When this configuration is not practical the MT2000 can be installed in flanged nozzles, 
as long as the mounting details are taken into account. Please refer to the recommended mounting information as 
described in Appendix I “Mounting Configurations”. 
 
 

: 

1.  The housing cover can only be removed when the unit is installed in a non-hazardous area, when in-

stalled with intrinsic safety barrier, or when power is removed from the transmitter. 

2.  Tanks constructed of concrete additionally require probe mountings be: 

 

 a.  1 ft. / 0.3 m from wall with up to 20 ft. / 6.1 meter measuring length. 

 

            b.  2 ft. / 0.61 m from wall over 20 ft. / 6.1 meter measuring length.
