In liquids, direct the device as perpendicular as possible to the me-
dium surface to achieve optimum measurement results.
Fig. 12: Alignment in liquids
In order to measure as much of the vessel volume as possible, the
device should be aligned so that the radar signal reaches the lowest
level in the vessel. In a cylindrical silo with conical outlet, the sensor is
mounted anywhere from one third to one half of the vessel radius from
the outside wall (see following drawing).
