  • Page 11: Installation Conditions

    Micropilot S FMR540 4 to 20 mA HART Installation Installation conditions 3.3.1 Engineering hints Orientation • Recommended distance (1) wall - outer edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter ("Beam angle",  ä 12). • Not in the centre (3), interference can cause signal loss.
  • Page 12 Installation Micropilot S FMR540 4 to 20 mA HART Beam angle The beam angle is defined as the angle  where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half the value of the maximum energy density (3dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.
  • Page 13 Micropilot S FMR540 4 to 20 mA HART Installation Measuring conditions • The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the tank bottom. Particularly with dish bottoms or conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point. • Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface.
  • Page 14 Installation Micropilot S FMR540 4 to 20 mA HART Measuring range The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting location and eventual interference reflections. To achieve an optimised signal strength it is recommended to use an antenna with as large as possible diameter (DN200(8") or DN250 (10") parabolic antenna).
