    4. Product Overview This series of radar level meter adopted 26G high frequency radar sensor, the maximum measurement range can reach up to 80 meters. Antenna is optimized further processing, the new fast microproces- sors have higher speed and efficiency can be done signal analysis, the instrumentation can be used for reactor, solid silo and very complex measurement environment.

When using radar level meter, make sure that the highest material level cannot enter the blind area of the measure- ment (the area shown in D(near blanking)in the figure).
  • Page 8 5.1 Installation guide: The radar level transmitter has to be installed in the diameter of the 1/4 or 1/6. Note: The minimum distance from the tank wall should be Tank high 1/10 200mm. The Minimun Note: distance 200 mm ① datum plane ②The center of the container center or symmetrical The top plane of the conical tank can be installed in the middle of the tank top, It is guaranteed to measure to the bottom of...
  • Page 9 False echo storage When there is a stirring blade in the tank that interferes with the radar measurement, if the stirring blade cannot be avoided, a false return is required. Wave storage eliminates interference signals generated by false waves. False Interference Echo Material Level Echo If you want to get the normal level echo, the false echo storage can store the echo signal between the envelope curve in the figure below, the storage is defined as a false signal, and a normal level echo...
  • Page 10 Guide wave pipe installation Use guide wave pipe installation (guide wave pipe or by pass pipe), can avoid obstacles and foam influence on the measurement. Due to feeding, mixing or others process handling in the container, it will generate foam on the surface of some liquids, the signal will be attenuate.
  • Page 11 Design requirements for guide wave pipe: • Metal material, smooth inside the tube; • Preferably stretched or longitudinal welded stainless steel pipe; • The weld must be as flat as possible and coaxial with the hole; • While using pre-welded flanges or extending the sleeves and using a ball valve, the transition pipe must be aligned on the inside and Fix after accurate matching;...
  • Page 12 The meter cannot be installed in the middle of an arched or round tank top. In addition to generate indirect echo,but also influenced by the echo, multiple echoes may be larger than the signal threshold of true echoes, because they can be concentrated through the top. Therefore, it cannot be installed in the central location.
