Abstract
The invention relates to a fill level measurement device for determining a topology of a bulk material surface, comprising a foldable antenna assembly. The antenna assembly has a folded and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the antenna assembly can be pushed through a relatively small container opening when the measurement device is being fitted to a container. The antenna assembly is unfolded after the measurement device has been attached. This can make fitting less complex.
