What role does the radar level meter installation Angle play

2023-12-28
The installation Angle of radar level meter has certain influence on its performance and measurement accuracy. Here are the possible effects of the mounting Angle:

Affect the antenna field of view: The installation Angle will directly affect the field of view of the radar level meter antenna. When installing, ensure that the antenna has a clear view of the surface of the liquid or material and avoid any obstacles to ensure accurate level measurement.

Refraction effect: When the radar antenna is angled at the liquid surface, the liquid surface may cause refraction of the radar wave. This can cause the radar level gauge to misread the level, so consider this refraction effect when installing.

Signal strength and propagation: The Angle of installation also affects the strength and propagation of the radar signal. A large mounting Angle may lead to signal attenuation, which affects the radar's measurement range and accuracy. The proper installation Angle can maximize the strength and stability of the signal.

Influence of media: Different media reflect and absorb radar waves differently. The installation Angle may cause the propagation path of the radar wave in the medium to change, thus affecting the measurement accuracy.

Protection against stray signals: The wrong mounting Angle can cause the radar level gauge to receive unwanted stray signals, such as reflections from pipes or container walls. This may interfere with normal level measurement.

To minimize these effects, proper installation is usually recommended in accordance with the radar level gauge manufacturer's installation guidelines. This may include a specified range of mounting angles, as well as specific advice on avoiding refraction, ensuring a clear field of view for the antenna, and so on. Ensure that the radar level gauge is accurate and reliable by following the relevant operating manual or installation guide.
