Alignment
• Ideally, the horn antenna should be installed vertically. To avoid interference reflections or
for optimum alignment in the vessel, the Micropilot can be swiveled by 15° in all directions
with the optional alignment device.
• A marking is provided on the gland to aid the alignment. This marking must be aligned
towards the tank wall as much as possible.
