Beamwidth The following recommendations should be considered when mounting the
transmitter:
• The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as
possible within the beam angle
• The flat tank wall can be located within the antenna beam angle if there
is a minimum distance from the transmitter to the tank wall (see
Figure 3-10 for preferred installation)
