Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Mounting 4�1�2 Using reflector Arrange FQR16 and FDR16 symmetrically to the reflector (entrance angle = exit angle). Range reduction per reflector: 10 % 4�1�3 Optimization of the signal quality It is possible to optimize the signal quality by moving FQR16 and FDR16 on their longitudinal axis by a, b = ±10 mm (±0.4 in) after an automatic adjustment has been performed.

Commissioning Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Commissioning The microwave barrier is ready for operation a maximum of 3 s after the supply voltage is applied. Initial commissioning → 7.2 to 7.5 7�1 Function check Perform post-installation and post-connection checks: • "Post-installation check" checklist •...
Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Commissioning 7�4 Process window • If the point level is not reliably detected after an automatic adjustment because the medium to be detected does not dampen sufficiently, the process window must be reduced step by step. • An enlargement of the process window is also possible. This is useful if, for example, ma- terial is conveyed through the detection range of the microwave barrier due to the process, which leads to attenuation of the microwave.
Commissioning Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Display Meaning Switching delay off (factory setting) 500 ms 10 s 7�6 Reset to factory settings In case of unknown settings or use in a new application, it is recommended to reset the FDR16 to its factory settings beforehand.
