3.4 Vertical Installation Angle
The radar beam has a limited vertical opening angle, as shown in the figure below.

The planner / installer has to check the following steps:
Possible mounting heights are from 1m to 10m from the ground;
The minimum detectable range is dependent on the mounting and elevation angle
used
Use Beam Simulation from TMC software to verify coverage of your area of interest.
The TMConfigurator PC software has been designed to
