Manual M6100-K01D M6100-K01D M6100-K01D 2 Transmitter Overview ALT-6100 Smart GWR Level Transmitter (Autrol® Smart Guided Wave Radar Operation Level Transmitter) is the micro-processor based Transmitter, and measures Principle level based on TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology. It has the function to print out a measured value as 4~20mA analog current in the 2-wire type or a digital value by HART communication, and transmit it to be used by control system such as DCS or PLC.
