  • Page 11 ARL5000 Operation Manual OP5000.1.1.7.R1ENG I. Nozzle Height Requirements: The reflected wave generated by the end of the nozzle may affect the measurement result. So generally the horn antenna needs to stick out of the nozzle. The nozzle height must ensure that the distance of antenna sticking into the tank can not be less than 10 mm. However, if the measured medium is with good reflective characteristics, the connected pipe can be longer than antenna length.
