6-2. Installation Blind sector Blind sector Blind sector 0.5m 0.5m 0.3m Fig. 4. Installation for liquid and for solid ・ If material surface enter to the blind sector, a stand pipe shall be used to ensure that material surface can not reach the blind sector of the level meter. But if the material surface will not enter the blind sector, then stand pipe should not be used.

6-3. Mounting direction ・At the application with repose angle and the mounting position near the sidewall etc, the reflection intensity of Level Meter may weaken or the noise reflection is likely to occur. As a countermeasure, the change of mounting direction can improve it in some cases. Level Meter has an marking at the reference position of electric field direction on Adapter If the direction of electric field is adjusted based on this marking, the reflection intensity may increase or the noise reflection may reduce.

・Do not install instrument close to inlet of material under measurement. ・Do not install any interfering instruments within the side beam, because reflections from beams, pipes, and other supports within the tank will cause false echoes. Fig. 8. Installation precaution (2) ・Provide shielding to minimize noise or unwanted reflections, when crossbeams, and other supports are installed within the tank.
Page 14
・Install protection such as a simple roof above the Level Meter to avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Simple cover Fig. 10. Installation precaution (4) ・There is a structural equipment that the cone antenna goes out than the attaching portion when the horn antenna is detached by maintenance etc.
