How to select installation location for radar level meters? What are the requirements for installation height and angle?

Radar level meter installation location selection is crucial for ensuring measurement accuracy and stable device operation. Proper installation positioning affects not only measurement precision but also equipment lifespan and maintenance accessibility.

Key installation location considerations:

• Vertical installation: Device should be installed vertically downward with tilt angle not exceeding 3°
• Avoid obstacles: Keep 3m clearance from bridge piers, pipes, and other metallic interference sources
• Stable flow areas: Select relatively calm water sections, avoiding rapids and vortex zones
• Installation height: Distance from highest water level should exceed 2 times blind zone distance with adequate safety margin

Specific installation requirements:

• River monitoring: Install above river center, avoiding bends and confluence points
• Reservoir applications: Select main reservoir body areas, away from inlet/outlet structures
• Bridge mounting: Utilize existing bridge structures ensuring secure and reliable installation
• Power and communication: Consider solar panel orientation and 4G signal coverage
