Step Three
GIMBAL MOUNTS (FOR SOLIDS)
Be aware of antenna’s length and width when using a gimbaled mount. The freedom of movement for the
gimbaled becomes less as the riser’s height increases.
SOLIDS INSTALLATION TIPS
In order to measure as much of the solids volume as possible, the antenna must be aimed at the lowest point
within the tank. With any cylindrical shaped tank with a cone bottom, the sensor should be mounted a distance
of half the radius (½R) from the side wall. If ½R cannot be met, it is preferred to mount the sensor closer to the
side wall and away from the center of the tank.
Avoid installing the sensor above the filling stream to avoid interference to the radar pulse. Locate the sensor
away from the filling stream.
