Installing
The lens curvature does not have to be taken into account for the installation. The sensor de-
tects the surface of the medium nearest to the sensor and outputs the distance. Object reflec-
tions can be filtered out using the sensor parameters.
The sensors can be installed in any alignment according to application requirements. The radar
wave propagates perpendicular to the surface of the radar lens with an opening angle of ±3°.
The display of the unit can be rotated by 180° (see parameter DiSr). The maximum tightening
torque for fastening the sensors is 45 Nm.
Multiple radar sensors can be mounted directly next to each other without the risk of any mu-
tual interaction between the devices.

Install the sensor at the intended mounting location. Observe blind zone s
min
, in which no
object detection is possible.
For optimum operation, install the sensor in such a way that no foreign objects are loc-
ated in the detection range.
Install the sensor so that the limits of the detection range are not located on a container
wall.
Use short connection pieces to ensure unhindered signal propagation in the short range
(see range diagrams).
To prevent any disturbance signals do not direct the filling stream of the media through
the detection range of the sensor.

Optional: Rotate the sensor head within the 340° range to align the connection to the I/O
level as well as to ensure optimum operability and readability.
