The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals. Vessel installations, such as e.G. Ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo. Make sure when planni...

Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel, dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form on the product surface. If foams are causing measurement errors, the biggest possible radar antenna should be used. As an alternative, sensors with guided microw...

If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e. G. 1 nf, 1500 v). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interfer- ence signals remains. War...
