In the case of longer nozzles, reduced measuring performance must be expected.
Please note the following:
• The end of the nozzle must be smooth and free from burrs.
• The edge of the nozzle should be rounded.
• Mapping must be performed.
• Please contact the manufacturer's support department for applications with nozzles that are
higher than indicated in the table.
Beam angle
The beam angle is defined as the angle α where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half
the value of the maximum energy density (3 dB width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the
signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.
