Fig. 8: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium
The socket piece should be dimensioned in such a way that the an-
tenna end protrudes at least 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket.
ca. 10 mm

Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product sur-
face to achieve an optimum measurement.

The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-
rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring site that the radar sensor
has a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
