measures the distance between the sensor and the media surface below. Typically, all
measurements from the sensor originate from the bottom of the antenna. Refer to the Measurement
Reference Chart to determine the location where measurement originates on your sensor. To ensure reliable
measurement, adhere to the following minimum installation requirements:
1) There are no obstructions between the bottom edge of the installed antenna and the surface of the media below
including ladders, walls, tank seams, media inflows, rails, other sensors, mixer blades, heating coils, pumps,
struts or apparatus.
Note: Additionally, when the sensor transmits a microwave pulse, the RF signal spreads in
a conical shape (determined by its beam angle) over distance.
Refer to the Beam Angle Chart to determine,
what if any, additional measurement space is required to be free of such obstacles. If such items are present,
then a False Echo Curve configuration must be conducted (Section Seven).
2) The sensor must be installed with the antenna perpendicular to the surface of the media.
3) The sensor must be installed with a distance ≥ 19.7” (500mm) from the side wall of the tank.
4) The media level must not be allowed to enter into the dead band (blanking zone) of the sensor.
5) The sensor installation must be done in accordance with relevant local or federal safety regulations.
6) The sensor must be connected to electrical ground.
7) Do not use the housing to screw the sensor into the installation fitting (LR36 & LR41 Series).
a) Applying force against the housing to tighten may damage the sensor.
8) Make sure that any part of the sensor as exposed to the application, specifically any portion installed within
the tank, are suitable for the process.
a) Consider any effects from the application temperature, pressure or media.
