MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER
There should be no obstacles in the area radiated by the transmitted microwave
beam from the lower edge of the antenna to the material surface to be measured
within the cone angle of the radar beam. These obstacles include ladders, limit
switches, heating equipment, supports, etc. When these are unavoidable, the gauge
offers background subtraction (“Virtual Echo Learning”) so that obstacles will be
ignored during level measurement. In addition, please note that the microwave beam
should not intersect with tank fluid in or out flows. In addition, the highest liquid or
solid tank level should not encroach into the upper blocking distance of the gauge
(typically a few cm). (see Figure 1), The instrument should be kept at a certain
distance from the tank wall and the transmitting antenna should be perpendicular to
the measured material surface as much as possible.
The instruments installed in a hazardous classified area shall follow the local national
installation regulations.
The reference plane for measurement is the sealing surface of threads or flanges.
1. Near (blocking) distance
2. Far distance
3. Distance at which sensor reads 100% level (or current)
4. Distance at which sensor reads 0 % level (or current)
For a conical vessel with a flat tank top, the best installation position of the instrument
is the top center of the vessel, which ensures that the bottom of the container is
measured.

Installation position
The minimum distance between the antenna and tank wall is variable for different
antenna. Please refer to Table 3.to calculate the minimum distance for your particular
model. In no instance, should the instrument be mounted closer than 200 mm to the
tank wall.
1. Reference plane
2. Center of the vessel or symmetry axis
Nozzle installations
In the case of a tank fluid or solid with good reflection properties (high dielectric
constant), the sensor may be mounted on a nozzle. The background subtraction ("virtual
echo learning") feature can further reduce false echoes from nozzle openings.
Table 4 shows detail of the size limitations of the nozzle.
