4.4  Mounting instructions

Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves. 

The polarization is the direction of the electrical component of these 

waves.
The polarization direction is marked by a nose on the housing, see 

following drawing:

Fig. 11: Position of the polarisation
1  Nose for marking the direction of polarisation

Note:

When the housing is rotated, the direction of polarization changes 

and hence the influence of the false echo on the measured value. 

Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.

When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm 

(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center 

of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
