2.3. Installation
The system installation location is inside a covered metal tank.
Please be aware that the ScanBrick® system must be installed within a metallic closed tank which
walls thickness shall not be below 2mm. The radiating area shall be mounted towards a dielectric
lens to allow Radar measurement to be performed. However, metallic interfaces shall be foreseen
to keep the Radar system within a closed metallic tank and avoid ejection of e.m. radiation.
