Nozzle design
• The end of the horn must protrude
a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid
false echoes being reflected from
the nozzle.
• An antenna extension:
(100 mm / 3.93") is available.
Nozzle location
• Keep emission cone free of
interference from ladders,
pipes, I-beams or filling
streams.
• Avoid central locations on
tall, narrow vessels.
