4. Installing Level Meter
The level meter must be installed above the water surface, pointing directly towards
the water surface. Minimum height above water surface must be 0,1m but it is
recommended to keep height above the water surface of 1 meter or higher and up to the
measurement range of the device. Sensor should be directed at a 90° angle towards the
water.
When mounting LX sensor care must be taken that direct non-obstructed line to
the water surface is available. Any close object in vicinity of the sensor can reduce
accuracy and introduce offsets in measurements.
Vibrations of the mounting structure can also affect measurements and should be
reduced by any applicable means.
Picture 2 shows how the radar should be positioned relative to the water surface.
