4. Product Introduction 4.1 Product Principles The guided wave radar emits a high-frequency pulse wave to be transmitted along with the detection component (steel rope or connecting rod). When it comes in contact with the object to be measured, the pulse wave will be reflected and some of the energy will be reflected as well due to the different dielectric constant of air and the material.
4.2.2 Dual-Level interface measurement The high-frequency micro wave pulse travels along the steel rope or the connecting rod. When it reaches the media surface, a part of the micro wave pulse will be reflected. Another part will penetrate the media in the upper layer (L1), and the second reflection will take place on the interface between the upper (L2) and lower (L1) interface layers.
5. Features It meets the measurement requirements of different temperatures, pressures and media. Based on the contact measurement, it can overcome the effects from steam, foam and stirring. 2-wire loop power for simple wiring Local LCM display for convenient on-site adjustment. ...

7. Installation 7.1 General Instructions 7.1.1 Lock instrument When locking the instrument and the tank, the suitable hex wrench should be used to fasten it. Note! During the installation, please apply force on the hex screw to fasten it. Don’t apply force on the instrument housing because it may damage the internal parts.
7.2 Installation Instruction 7.2.1 Installation site Pay attention to the following when installing JTR3 series products. When it is installed in a metal container, the distance between the container parts and the inner wall should be at least over 300mm. For non-metal containers, the distance to the inner wall should be at least over 500mm.
Page 17
During the installation, don’t use extension pipe on the container. Kindly install the sensor and the container cap flush with the ground. ※ When welding the connector of the extension pipe, please make the edge of the extension pipe connector flush with container cap.
7.2.2 Feeding tank installation precautions Please don’t install the instrument at the feeding port. The instrument must be in a position with stable media rather than a position with liquid flow. It can’t provide accurate measurement when the liquid flows in. 7.2.3 Blind area The measuring range is from the bottom of flange or hread.
8 Wiring Instruction 8.1 Preparations 8.1.1 Please note the following safety precautions before use: The instrument wiring is only permitted when it is powered OFF. If overvoltage occurs to the wire, please install overvoltage protection device to protect the instrument. 8.1.2 Connecting cable The instrument can be connected with the general 2-core wire without the shielding layer available on the market.
8.2 Wiring Instructions: 8.2.1 Connection methods When wiring, make the 2-core wire go through the enclosure, and make a connection based on the positive/negative power supply as marked on the nameplate. A flathead screwdriver may be used for connection. 8.2.2 Wiring steps Please follow the steps below: 1.
