    Principle of operation Application area The LBR is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids under different process conditions. It is ideal for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. The very good signal focussing ensures a simple setup and reliable measurement.

To avoid heavy soiling, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. Fig. 12: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium Silo with lateral filling In bulk solids silos with lateral pneumatic filling the instrument should not be mounted above the filling stream, as the radar signal will be disrupted. The optimal mounting position is to the side of the filling aperture. To avoid heavy soiling, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible.

  • Page 20 4 Mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount LBR on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Note: When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").
