- Page 14 4 Mounting Fig. 10: Thread mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGAPULS 21 on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration or the table. The values come from typical applications. Deviating from the proposed dimensions, also longer sockets are possible, however the local conditions must be taken into account.
