LLT100 Laser level transmitter-8

— Mixer/obstruction Another challenge in the field of level measurement is obtaining reliable measurements in the presence of obstructions or mixing blades. The very narrow beam (<0.3 degrees) of the LLT100 allows installation of the instrument at almost any place on top of the vessel and its positioning between the vessel wall and the edge of the mixer, thus providing reliable measurements. When it is not possible to avoid the mixer blades, the LLT100 has advanced processing functions that can still perform the measurement reliably by efficiently tracking the real level when the mixer blades...
