▶ Installation Instruction:The radar level meter should be installed in the 1/4 or 1/6 of diameter of the storage tank; min. distance required between the radar level meter and vessel wall is 250mm |
|
|
①Reference Plane ②Center of Vessel or Symmetrical axis |
▶ The best mounting position for a conical vessel with flat top is the center of its top, as the effective measurement can reach the bottom of vessel. |
|
|
▶ Storage tank with stockpile: TheAntenna should be vertical to the stockpile, if the stockpile is noteven; gimbal is required to adjust the hornantenna. |
|
|
|
l Typical wrong installation: ▶ the radar should not be installed in the feed port, also the radar is better to be free from rain and sunshine. |
|
|
①Correct ②Wrong |
▶ Theradar level meter should not be installed in the center of arch tank , if installed in the center, it will result in multiple echoes and affect the measuring effect. |
|
|
①Correct ②Wrong
|
▶ If there are obstacles in the tank which can affect the measuring result, reflector is required. |
|
|
①Correct ②Wrong
|
▶ If there is obstacle it the areawhere the microwave covers, such as ladder, limit switch, heating devices, support .etc which will lead to a wrong measuring, wave guide is required. |
|
|
|
▶ If there are obstacles in the tank which can affect the measuring result, reflector is required. Note: the diameter of ventilation hole is 5~10mm. The diameter of wave guide is minimum 50mm, and the internal of the pipe should be smooth. Suitable for liquids with good fluidity, not good for viscous liquids. |
|
|
▶ Connection Pipe requirement:Antenna minimum length into tank is 10mm |
