Radar in water conservancy mounting

l Basic Requirement of Radar level meter

▶ There is an emission angle for antenna; There should be no any obstacle within the area where the microwave beam covered.

▶ Any shield devices should be avoided, better to learn some “false echo” knowledge;

▶ Microwave beam of radar level meter should not cross with water flow;

▶ The highest level should not be in blanking area;

▶ The radar level meter should be grounded, and take thunder prevention methods;

The reference plane is the thread or flange surface.

Note: the highest level should not be in the blanking zone as 1 show above.

l Radr level meter Mounting place

1. Reference plane

The radar level meter should keep distance between the wall at least 200mm.

l Weather Proof

Radar level meters which are installed outdoors need to take following methods to protect the radar:

1. Tightly screw the cable glands

2. Curve the cable where near the electrical port downward.

l Typical Wrong Installation

1. Wrong: do not install the radar level meter above the pouring flow ; the measuring media is water surface not water flow;

2. Correct: Weather proof measurements have been taken.

l Reflector Installation

If there are obstacles such as dam to affect measuring, reflectors are recommended. Or adjust mounting places; When necessary, “false echo” should be learned.
