Radar

Radar level sensors, available in non-contact and guided-wave configurations, utilise the Time-of-Flight principle to measure the distance to a product surface or the interface between two products within a tank.

• Non-contact radar: Transmits a microwave continuous wave or pulse at a known frequency, which reflects off the surface. The time taken for the round trip is divided by two to calculate the distance.
• Guided-wave radar: Directs a microwave wave down a rod or rope, reflecting off each surface it encounters. This method measures both the product level and the interface between multiple products.

Applications include:

• Continuous level measurement in single-product tanks or silos
• Interface level measurement of multiple products (e.g., oil and water)
• Open-channel flow measurement
• Rake control
• Pump and valve control

Certifications include:

• ATEX certification
• FM (Factory Mutual) approval
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approval
• IEC Ex certification
• INMETRO approval
• NEPSI (National Supervision and Inspection Centre for Explosion Protection and Safety of Instrumentation) certification
• EAC (Eurasian Conformity) certification
• SIL (Safety Integrity Level) compliance
• MCERTS accreditation

Communication Output Options include:

• 0/4 to 20mA analogue signals
• Digital outputs (relay, PNP, NPN)
• HART protocol
