Mounting: Location
Due to the polarization effect of the
microwave signal related to the
wall of the vessel, we recommend
locating the IQ 300 a minimum of
30cm (1’) away from the sidewall
for every 3m (10’) of vessel height.
Polarization Effect
Mounting the unit too close to a wall may cause echoes to disappear at specific levels
due to wave cancellation. A strong false reflection from an internal tank obstruction can
be reduced or eliminated by rotating the unit to reduce this polarization effect.
False Reflections
Flat obstructions and struts perpendicular to the emission cone cause large false
reflections. They reflect the radar signal with high amplitude. Round profile interfering
surfaces diffuse reflections of the radar signals and cause false reflections with low
amplitude.
20°
Keep the 20° emission cone free of
obstructions.
