Micropilot M FMR245 4 to 20 mA HART Mounting Measurement in a plastic tank If the outer wall of the tank is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), …).
Page 16
Mounting Micropilot M FMR245 4 to 20 mA HART Beam angle The beam angle is defined as the angle α 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.
