Nozzle Location - Siemens SITRANS LR250 (HART) Manual De Inicio Rápido

Nozzle location

• Avoid central locations on tall, narrow vessels,
which can generate false echoes.
• Nozzle must be vertical.
Environment
• Provide an environment suitable to the housing
rating and materials of construction.
• Provide a sunshield if the device will be mounted
in direct sunlight.
Beam angle
• Beam angle is the width of the cone where the energy density is half of the peak energy
density.
• The peak energy density is directly in front of and in line with the antenna.
• There is a signal transmitted outside the beam angle, therefore false targets may be
detected.

Emission Cone
• Keep emission cone free of interference from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling streams.
Access for programming
• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the handheld program-
