RadarRight - Model Series 400 - Non-Contact, Radar Level Sensor for Powders and Bulk Solids
From Continuous Level Sensors and Remote Inventory Management
The RadarRight radar level sensor emits a microwave pulse from its antenna, which travels at the speed of light to the surface of the medium below. The time-of-flight of the pulse and its reflection back to the instrument location is directly related to the empty distance in the vessel and the material level. The output from the electronics is continuously updated as the level of the material surface changes.
Product Overview
- Non-contact level measurement solution...nothing to 'touch' your process.
- Real-time continuous output provides immediate level measurements.
- No moving parts to wear which leads to long operational life and low maintenance.
- Proven microwave 'pulse' technology for dependable measurements
- Easy set-up / configuration with LCD push button display module (included)
- Small beam angle to centralize energy for high accuracy and reliability with materials
- having a wide range of characteristics.
- Minimal 'dead band' ('blanking zone') for optimum measurement in vessel.
- Gimbal (swivel) style process connection allows for aiming antenna for added measurement accuracy and avoiding internal obstacles, flow streams, etc..
- Advanced microprocessor and unique echo processing technology provide for reliable operation under various process conditions.
- 'Pulse' technology results in extremely low emission power; is harmless towards the environment and human beings.
- Can be provided with a variety of antennas and process connections - Small antenna sizes (diameters) for easy mounting.
- Air purge or dust shield options to optimize sensor performance in dusty conditions.
- Suitable for most powder / bulk solids applications in storage vessels up to 98.5 ft. (30m) high with 5 inch dia. antenna.
- Series 200 for liquid applications is also available...Click Here
