EN 302372 - Tank Level Probing Radar
EN 302729 - Level Probing Radar
It is hence approved for use inside and outside closed vessels in
countries of the EU.
Use is also approved in EFTA countries, provided these standards
have been implemented.

befullled:
The instrument must be permanently mounted on a closed vessel
made of metal, reinforced concrete, or comparable attenuating
materials
Flanges,processttingsandmountingaccessoriesmustensure
the microwave impermeability of the vessel and not let the radar
signal escape to the outside
If necessary, existing viewing windows in the vessel must be
coated with a microwave impermeable material (e.g. electrically
conductive coating)
Manholesandangesonthevesselmustbeclosedandsealedto
avoid penetration of the radar signal
The instrument should be preferably mounted on top of the vessel
with antenna orientation downward
For operation outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
befullled:
