General Guidelines
Gladiator Gen 3 Microwave Series
5. When mounting to monitor the level of a
flowing product such as coal, ore or wood chips,
position the microwave path out of the direct
product flow stream. If at all possible, go behind
the flow stream or well in front of it. This will
minimise any possibility of unwanted trips due to
abnormal product flow blocking the beam. Always
use the recommended setup for blocked chute
detection.
6. When using the system as a proximity switch
such as truck detection the mounting arrangement
is application dependent and must ensure proper
operation even under worst case conditions.

Mounting With Windowed Weldments
Windowed Weldments are designed to protect the Microwave from the hazards of the application. The
weldment is welded to the chute/application wall, and then the window is threaded or locked into position. The
Microwave pulse will pass through plastics and ceramics. However it will not pass through metallic type lining.
