The mmWave Radar should be installed directly above the material to be measured, at a
90° angle. Avoid positioning near the process filling or emptying areas. Check there are
no obstructions between the sensor and the material. The mmWAVE Radars can be
installed via the 1” BSP/NPT thread on the sensor, or with the supplied 1” BSP to M20
adapter. Installing the mmWAVE Radar outside of a closed vessel, the following must
be adhered to:
•
The mmWave Radar must be directed vertically downwards.
•
Special permission must be granted by the appropriate national authority, to mount
the mmWAVE Radar closer than 4km from any radio astronomy stations.
•
The mmWAVE Radar must not be installed higher than 15m from the ground when
installed within 4-40km of a radio astronomy station.

X Limitations on use
1.
The sensor must be routinely inspected to avoid build-up of dust layers if installed in
zones 20, 21 & 22 (Ex ia) and zones 21 & 22 (Ex mb).
2.
Electro-static hazard
– The equipment shall not be installed in a location where the
external conditions are conductive to the build up of electrostatic charge. In addition, the
sensor may only be wiped with a damp or anti-static cloth.
3.
The outer enclosure is made from Valox 357U, a polyester / polycarbinate blend;
consider the performance of this material with respect to chemicals that may be present.
4.
The sensor must not be used if there are any cracks or damage to the enclosure.
5.
(Ex ia) The installer shall consider the total length of cable attached to the sensor.
The cable shall be considered to have parameters of 200pF/m & 1uH/m or 30uH/Ω.
6.
(Ex ia) The sensor shall only be connected via resistive barriers with the following
specifications:
Power ≥ 234Ω, Signal ≥ 50Ω (TX & RX ≥ 50Ω).
7.
(Ex mb) Only use fuses listed: Littlefuse 0242 100mA (blue band)
> 1500A breaking.
