What are common installation errors for HZ-KSLF radar flowmeter and how to install correctly?

HZ-KSLF radar flowmeter installation guide covering height, angle, obstruction, and communication setup

HZ-KSLF multi-band Doppler radar flowmeter installation errors commonly involve incorrect mounting height and beam angle configuration. Proper installation height ranges 2-15 meters above water surface, ensuring effective radar beam coverage across the measurement cross-section.

  • Beam angle errors: Mount radar vertically downward, maximum tilt angle 3°, preventing signal reflection interference
  • Obstruction interference: Ensure clear radar beam path without bridges, vegetation, or structures affecting signal propagation
  • Power supply issues: When using EC32/EC60 RTU systems, orient solar panels due south with 30-45° tilt angle
  • Communication setup errors: Position 4G antennas away from metallic obstructions, maintain signal strength >-85dBm

For open channel and river measurements, consider turbulent flow zone impacts. Select relatively stable straight channel sections for installation, avoiding bends and confluence areas that create measurement uncertainties.
