Horn antenna (FMR57)
Alignment
• Ideally, the horn antenna should be installed vertically. To avoid interference reflections or for
optimum alignment in the vessel, the Micropilot can be swiveled by 15° in all directions with the
optional alignment device.
• A marking is provided on the gland to aid the alignment. This marking must be aligned towards
the tank wall as much as possible.

Depending on the device version the marking may be a circle or two parallel lines.
Information concerning nozzles
The horn antenna should project out of the nozzle. If this is not possible for mechanical reasons,
larger nozzle heights can be accepted.
