10.1.2 Free Space Requirements
There are two flanges available for the Horn Antenna Gauge. One
inclines the gauge 4° and the other is horizontal. See installation drawing
for flange dimensions.
The radar beam is over 30° wide. If the wall intrudes into the 30° radar
beam when the transmitter is installed with a vertical antenna axis, the
radar beam has to be directed away from the wall by using the 4° flange.
This inclination is necessary to ensure maximum accuracy.
The horizontal flange can be used when the wall does not intrude into the
30° radar beam.
For special cases, where maximum accuracy is not required, the
horizontal flange can be used even when the wall intrudes into the radar
beam. In doubtful cases, please contact please contact Emerson
Process Management / Rosemount Tank Gauging or one of its
representatives for advice.
