Installation
Mounting: Rod Assembly
Ideally, the stand pipe should be as short as possible. If
your application requires a stand pipe that exceeds our
recommended maximum lengths, consider using a
waveguide and horn combination. If you create a new
stand pipe for the radar unit, ensure the weld seams are
on the outside of the stand pipe, not the inside.
Ensure that there are no seams or lips on the inside of
the stand pipe or you may get erratic readings.
If the mounting illustrated above is not suitable due to the minimum blanking
requirements, consider the following option:
Stand pipes that are 8” or larger in diameter provide excellent signal
conditions. These conditions allow for stand pipe lengths of up to 24” using
the standard rod without any extensions.
