1.5 Radio approvals
1.5.1 European Union (EU)
According to ETSI EN 302 372-2 (2011), the radiated power outside a metallic tank is less than -
41.3 dBm.
The radio approval certificate is given on the DVD-ROM supplied with the device.
Obey these precautions when you install the device:
General installation requirements for tank level probing radar (TLPR) systems:
•
TLPR (Tank Level Probing Radar) are required to be installed at a permanent fixed position at
a closed (not open) metallic tank or reinforced concrete tank, or similar enclosure structure
made of comparable attenuating material;
•
flanges and attachments of the TLPR equipment shall provide the necessary microwave
sealing by design;
•
sight glasses shall be coated with a microwave proof coating when necessary (i.e. electrically
conductive coating);
•
manholes or connection flanges at the tank shall be closed to ensure a low-level leakage of
the signal into the air outside the tank;
•
whenever possible, mounting of the TLPR equipment shall be on top of the tank structure
with the orientation of the antenna to point in a downward direction;
•
installation and maintenance of the TLPR equipment shall be performed by professionally
trained individuals only.
LEGAL NOTICE!
This level transmitter is intended for installation in closed tanks. It meets the requirements of
the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU for use in the member countries of the EU.
An industry agreement includes approval for use of the frequency band (4.7...7 GHz) in industrial
environments.
