4.4 Instructions for installation
The illustrations with the following mounting instructions show a radar
sensor with horn antenna. The mounting instructions apply analo-
gously also to the version with parabolic antenna.
The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor are electromagnetic
waves. The polarisation plane is the direction of the electrical wave
component. By turning the instrument in the connection flange or
mounting boss, the polarisation can be used to reduce the effects of
false echoes.
The position of the polarisation plane is marked on the process fitting
of the instrument.
