    PRODUCT FEATURES OPTIWAVE 6300 C 1.1 The radar solution for solids This device is a non-contact Radar (FMCW) Level Meter for distance, level, volume and mass measurement of powders, granulates and other solids. It gives a stabler measurement than pulse radar and is well suited to dusty process conditions. The device can operate at very low and very high process temperatures as long as the process connection temperature limits are observed.
  • Page 4 PRODUCT FEATURES OPTIWAVE 6300 C Highlights • ±10 mm / ±0.4¨ standard accuracy • PP or PTFE Drop antenna: its shape prevents product build-up in dusty applications • Operates up to a flange temperature of 200°C / 390°F and 40 bar / 580 psig •...

  • Page 5: Options

    PRODUCT FEATURES OPTIWAVE 6300 C 1.2 Options Drop antennas Drop antennas are a unique innovation to measure powders and other solids in very dusty atmospheres. The ellipsoidal shape of the antennas prevents build-up and generates a small beam angle for accurate measurement of silo contents.

  • Page 6: Measuring Principle

    PRODUCT FEATURES OPTIWAVE 6300 C 1.3 Measuring principle A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected from the product surface and received after a time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave). The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep).

It can be installed on silos and bunkers. 3.2 Pre-installation requirements Obey the precautions that follow to make sure that the device is correctly installed.
  • Page 25 INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C If possible, do not install a nozzle on the silo centerline. If it is necessary to measure to the bottom of the silo, a 2 slanted flange option is available for ° all antennas. For more data, refer to Installation recommendations for solids on page 26 Do not put the device near to the product inlet.

  • Page 26: Installation Recommendations For Solids

    INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 3.4 Installation recommendations for solids Do not install the device above objects in the silo (ladder, supports etc.). Objects in the silo can cause parasite radar signals. If there are parasite radar signals, the device will not measure correctly.
