Level application example

The application is a steel silo containing flour that takes an average 3 hours to fill and 3 weeks to empty.

Using the Easy Aimer, the LR 460 is oriented so that the emission cone is approximately perpendicular to the material surface.

Fill rate = 0.09 m/minute (15.5 / 180). Response rate has been set to slow: 0.1 m/minute, or slightly faster than the fill rate.
