2.1 Requirements
Mounting position
Do not mount the transmitter at the center of the tank or close to the tank wall.
This may reduce the measuring range or the accuracy and makes the transmitter
more sensitive to disturbing echoes. We recommend that the transmitter is
mounted so that the antenna tip is located at least 0.5 m from the tank wall.
Socket requirements
The antenna tip should be located outside the
nozzle (10 mm or more ).
If the antenna is located inside the nozzle
the antenna tip may cause disturbing echoes
which will negatively affect measurement
performance.
Free space requirements
The transmitter should be mounted so that no
obstacles are present in the radar beam.
Obstacles in the radar beam may reduce the
measuring range.
Distance
Diameter of radiated area (m).
