25 Installation in the bypass
1 Marking to align the antenna
2 Tank connectors
• Align the marker at a 90 ° angle to the tank connectors.
• Measurements can be performed through an open full bore ball valve without any problems.
• After mounting, the housing can be turned 350 ° in order to facilitate access to the display and the
terminal compartment.
Recommendations for the bypass
• Metal (no enamel plastic or enamel liner).
• Constant diameter.
• Select a horn antenna that is as big as possible. For intermediate sizes (e.g. 95 mm (3.5 in)) select
the next biggest antenna and adapt it mechanically (for horn antennas).
• Difference in diameter between horn antenna and inner diameter of the bypass as small as
possible.
• At transition points, e.g. when a ball valve is used or individual pipe segments are joined, any gaps
that occur should not exceed 1 mm (0.04 in).
•
Reduced measuring accuracy can be expected in the area of the tank connectors (~
±20 cm (7.87 in)).
