• Installation Notes

Mount your

series radar

monitored. Your sensor should be mounted away from tank or vessel inlets. Do not mount radar in
center of domed tank. (See Figure 2.1)
•
The radar path should be free from obstructions and as open as possible for the 4° off axis beam pat-
tern.

Mounting Instructions
Mounting your radar level transmitter is easy if you follow a few simple steps:
•
Never over-tighten the sensor.
•
Always screw in your sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Thread failure can be a problem if you
damage threads by over-tightening them or by crossing threads.
IMPORTANT
: Do not over tighten! The sensor should be threaded in only hand tight.
