Note:
Therefore, pay attention to the position of the polarisation when
mounting or when making subsequent changes. Fix the housing to
prevent a change in the metrological properties (see chapter "

Radar sensors emit their measurement signal in the form of a beam.

When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center
of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"
Setup
").
Note:
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal suppression during setup. This applies especially if buildup on
the vessel wall is to be expected.

The measurement surface is the area with the highest energy of the radar
signal.

In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a
later time with existing buildup.
