PRODUCT INFORMATION
Bindicator MP Series air radar is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in
vessels; available in a range of 131 ft (40 m) or 329 ft (100 m), model F78MP040 or F78MP100, respectively. The plug and
play performance is ideal for all solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures to +392 °F
(+200 °C). The device is an electronic circuit coupled to a lens antenna and flange for quick and easy positioning.
The main benefits of using 78 GHz over devices using lower frequency are:
•
very narrow beam, so device is insensitive to mounting nozzle interference and vessel obstructions.
•
short wavelength yields very good reflection properties on sloped solids, so aiming towards material angle of repose
is usually not necessary.
The technology is very tolerant to buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet is provided for periodic
cleaning if required. The MP Series air radar supports HART communication protocol. Signals are processed using detailed
algorithms which have been field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide.
APPLICATIONS include cement powder, plastic powder/pellets, grain, flour, coal and other applications
