Inflowing material
Do not mount the scanners in or above the filling stream, not too
far from the stream, and not in the direction of the filling stream in
case it is diagonal, to avoid damage to the scanner from the
flowing material. The scanner should be located with a clear line of
sight to the top of the material at high levels, not to be affected by
the filling stream or the noise it creates.
Fitting
The fitting area should be prepared to maintain the
horns/antennas vertically positioned to the ground,
as shown at right.

Site Preparations
IMPORTANT:
The site preparations described in this section must be complete
and verified prior to installation. For optimal installation, ensure that the
CONTOUR can be positioned and fitted according to the guidelines described in
the beginning of this chapter.
For a list of items recommended to prepare before installing the CONTOUR, refer
to
page 37: Appendix D: Recommended Tools
.
Before installing, make sure the following preparations have been completed.
Power
Connecting the CONTOUR chassis to the facility grounding is important for protection.
A 24VDC (1.5 Watt) power supply must be prepared and ready to use near the
scanner mounting location.
The CONTOUR is a 4-Wire device. The voltage supply and data output (4-20 mA) are
carried along two separated two-wire connection cables.
