  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction 1.1 Overview The SLN 700 SmartLine 80 GHz Non-Contact Radar transmitter is an electronic instrument designed to measure levels of liquid and solid materials. Non-Contact Radar (NCR) transmitters use Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signals that are reflected by the material to be measured.
  • Page 10: Electronics

    Electronics The Electronics consists of 2 distinct modules; core measurement electronics module and an optional display module. Both are replaceable in the field. To make changes to the transmitter setup or configuration without the use of an external device such as a handheld or PC, an optional 4-Button interface is available. The Optional Display module has the following features.
  • Page 11: Communicating With The Transmitter

    1.4 Communicating with the Transmitter Level monitoring is possible through either the analog current (4-20 mA) or HART. It is possible © to configure a transmitter using HART protocol or using the four-button interface and display. Refer to manual 34-SL-25-16, SLN700 NCR HART Option Manual for details on available HART commands 1.5 SLN 700 Transmitter Label The transmitter label is mounted on the side of the electronics housing...
  • Page 12: Transmitter Model Number Description

    1.6 Transmitter Model Number Description The model number is comprised from a number of selections and options that can be specified when ordering the transmitter. It includes a basic transmitter type such as SLN720 (standard temperature, standard pressure) followed by a maximum of nine additional character strings that can be selected from a corresponding Table in the Model Selection Guide (MSG).
  • Page 13: Radar Level Measurement

    Radar Level Measurement 2.1 Overview This chapter describes the theory of operation of the transmitter and discusses how measurements are affected by tank and process conditions. 2.2 Theory of Operation The fundamental principle of operation is level measurement through the reflection of frequency modulated radar waves (FMCW technique).
  • Page 14: Mounting

    Mounting Due to the finite beam angle and resulting transmission cone, there should be no obstacles in the area radiated by the transmitted microwave beam from the lower edge of the antenna to the material surface to be measured. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid these facilities in the tank during installation. These include ladders, limit switches, heating equipment, supports, etc.
  • Page 15: Moisture-Proof

    Moisture-proof For instruments that are installed outside, in a wet environment, and cooling or heating tanks, the cable gland must be tightened. The cable, at the cable gland entry, must be bent downward to prevent moisture as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2: Moisture-proof diagram Revision 1 SLN 700 SmartLine NCR Level Transmitter User’s Manual...
  • Page 16: Installation Position

    Installation position During the installation, please note that the instrument should be kept minimal distance to tank wall from the vessel wall. For different antenna, please refer to Table 3-1. However, the instrument must not under any circumstances be mounted closer than 200mm to the vessel wall or values calculated from Table 3-1.
  • Page 17: Figure 3-4: Conical Vessel Installation

    For the conical vessel with a flat tank top, the best installation position of instrument is the top center of the vessel, which ensures that the bottom of the container is measured. Figure 3-4: Conical vessel installation Revision 1 SLN 700 SmartLine NCR Level Transmitter User’s Manual Page 9...
  • Page 18: Nozzle Installations

    Nozzle installations In the case of a material with good reflection properties (high dielectric constant, DK), the sensor may be mounted on a nozzle. The background subtraction ("virtual echo learning") feature can further reduce false echoes from nozzle openings. Table 3-2 shows detail of the size limitations of the nozzle.
  • Page 19: Correct And Incorrect Installation Position

    Correct and incorrect Installation position 1. Correct 2. Incorrect: Instruments are installed in the arched or round top of the tank, which will result in multiple echoes. This should be avoided as much as possible during the installation. Figure 3-6: Correct and incorrect installation position 1.
  • Page 20: Installations With Agitation

    This will eliminate the influence of false echo generated by mixing blades. If foam or wave is generated due to agitation, then the customer should consider a guided wave radar sensor such as the Honeywell SLG-700 series.
