The walls of multiple-chamber silos are often made of profile material,
e.g. profile sheeting, to ensure the required stability. If the radar sen
-
sor is mounted very close to a heavily structured vessel wall, substan-
tial interfering reflections can be generated. Thus the sensor should
be mounted at the largest possible distance from the separating wall.
The best mounting location is on the outer wall of the silo, with the
sensor pointing towards the discharge opening in the silo centre. This
can be accomplished, for example, with the mounting strap.
