3.2 Principle of operation
The version with "Horn antenna ø 40 mm (1.575 in)" is particularly
suitable for small tanks and process vessels for measurement of
virtually all products.
The version with "Horn antenna ø 48 … 95 mm (1.89 … 3.74 in)" is
particularly suitable for storage tanks and process vessels, for
measurement of products such as solvents, hydrocarbons and fuels
under most difficult pr ocess conditions.
The version with Parabolic antenna is particularly suitable for
measurement of products with low ε
r
value at great measuring
distances.
The electronics version with increased sensitivity enables the use of
the instrument also in applications with very poor reflective properties
or products with low ε
r
value.
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
