Fig. 8: Recommended socket mounting
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
radar sensor on sockets which are higher than the length of the
antenna. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the
following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if
possible also rounded. After installation you must carry out a false
echo storage.

Tip:
The instrument is optionally also available with antenna extension.
Hence the antenna length can be selected such that the antenna end
protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket.
In liquids, align the sensor as vertical as possible to the product
surface to achieve optimum measuring results.
