You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following
illustration or the table. The values come from typical applications.
Deviating from the proposed dimensions, also longer sockets are
possible, however the local conditions must be taken into account.

Note:
When mounting on longer nozzles, we recommend carrying out a
false signal suppression (see chapter "
Parameter adjustment
").
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the radar signals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-
rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring point that the radar sensor
has a "
clear view
" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false signal suppression
should be carried out during setup.
