Direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the product surface
to achieve optimum measurement results.
Fig. 14: Orientation of the sensor
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave 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 site that the radar sensor
has a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
