Mounting on DIN socket piece
When mounting on dished vessel tops, the
antenna length should at least correspond to
the length of the longer sockets.
Mounting on a dished vessel top; max. socket length
depending on flange size and, if applicable, on the
length of the antenna extension (see "3.3 Dimen-
sions“).
4.2 Measurement of liquids
Horn antenna
Horn antenna on DIN socket piece
In most cases, the mounting of radar sensors
is done on short DIN socket pieces. The
lower side of the instrument flange is the
reference plane for the measuring range. The
antenna should always protrude out of the
flange pipe.
When the DIN socket piece is longer, please
make sure that the horn antenna is not cov-
ered completely by the socket. It is better if
the antenna protrudes slightly out of the
socket.
