HINT:
If the signal is dampened by heavy condensation at the antenna, it often helps to insulate the
nozzle. This minimizes the temperature disparity between the internal and ambient
temperature. Installing the antenna so that it is inside the vessel helps to eliminate the chance of
condensation.

INLET
INLET
The radar signal must never be shaded
by the inlet nor the injected product.
The radar should not be mounted in
the center of the silo. It should always
be mounted as close to the silo center
as possible. A general practice is to
mount the radar at
2
/3 tank radius
from tank wall.
INLET
A deflection plate might need to be
installed at the inlet point in order to
deflect the product stream away from
the antenna.
