3.3.2 Engineering hints
Orientation
• Recommended distance (1) wall - outer edge
of nozzle:: ~1/6 of tank diameter (see Beam
angle on Page 16).
• Not in the centre (3), interference can cause
signal loss.
• Not above the fill stream (4).
• It is recommended to use a weather
protection cover (2) in order to protect the
transmitter from direct sun or rain. Assembly
and disassembly is simply done by means of a
tension clamp (see "Accessories" on Page 68).

Tank installations
• Avoid any installations (1), like limit
switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside the
signal beam (refer to beam angle (see "Beam
angle" on Page 16).
• It is essential that HiHi alarm is below the
blocking distance (BD) and the safety distance
(SD).
• Symmetrical installations (2), e.g. vacuum
rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also
interfere with the measurement.
Optimization options
• Antenna size: the bigger the antenna, the
smaller the beam angle, the less interference
echoes.
• Mapping: the measurement can be optimized
by means of electronic suppression of
interference echoes.
• Antenna alignment: refer to "optimum
mounting position".
• Stilling well: a stilling well can always be used
to avoid interference. The FMR532 with
planar antenna is recommended for stilling
wells with a diameter DN150 (6”) and larger.
• Metallic screens (3) mounted at a slope spread
theradar signals and can, therefore,
reduceinterference echoes.
