  • Page 8: Product Introduction

    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.
  • Page 9: Dual-Level Interface Measurement

    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.

    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.
  • Page 16: Installation Instruction

    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.
  • Page 18: Feeding Tank Installation Precautions

    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.
