Fig. 13: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium
The socket piece should be dimensioned in such a way that the an-
tenna end protrudes at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out of the socket.
Fig. 14: Recommended socket mounting
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS 64 on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end
should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
Note:
When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a
false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").
You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following
illustration or the tables. The values come from typical applications.
Deviating from the proposed dimensions, also longer sockets are
possible, however the local conditions must be taken into account.
