Installation
Mounting location
Indoors or outdoors.
Installation on vertical pipes
A0040689
Installation with mounting bracket pipe/IBC.
Installation on non-conductive plastic IBC tanks with tubular cage or mesh frame
Installation with "Mounting bracket pipe/IBC".
The mounting bracket pipe/IBC is also suitable for IBC tanks with mesh.
Mounting instructions
• Mount the measuring device in a horizontal position so that it is parallel to the tank ceiling
Otherwise, undesired reflections from the surroundings can cause interference signals
• The radar antenna should never be covered by metal objects
• If mounting outdoors, do not mount on a depression of the IBC tank
Water can collect and interfere with the measurement. The measuring device may not stand in
water.
• Do not mount any objects which may cause interference, such as tank internal fittings, grids or
agitators, below or in the direct vicinity of the radar (see the graphic below)
