Installation instructions

Endress+Hauser
Avoiding interference echoes
Metal deflector plates, installed at an angle to scatter the radar signals, help prevent interference
echoes.
Vertical alignment of antenna axis
Align the antenna so that it is perpendicular to the product surface.
The maximum reach of the antenna can be reduced, or additional interference signals can
occur, if the antenna is not installed perpendicular to the product.
Radial alignment of the antenna
Based on the directional characteristic, radial alignment of the antenna is not necessary.
Encapsulated antenna, PVDF 40 mm (1.57 in)
