Page 12: 3.3 Adjustment
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product and received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radar pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and hence to the level. The determ...

When mounting vegapuls 62, keep a distance of at least 200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of concave or arched vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be faded out by an appropriate adjustment (see setup). If this distance cannot be maint...
