Radar (FMCW) Level Meter Modular Design Compact / Vertical version • The converter is vertical. It is attached directly to the process connection (compact version). • For installation of the device on the ground or in a recess. • The optional LCD display is attached to the top or the side of the device. Compact / Horizontal version • The converter is horizontal. It is attached directly to the process connection (compact version). • This version is ideal for installation in areas with low roof clearances. For locations where it is easier to read data on the optional LCD display if the...

Radar (FMCW) Level Meter 1. Level measurement of liquids The level meter can measure the level of a wide range of liquid products on a large variety of installations within the stated pressure and temperature range. It does not require any calibration: it is only necessary to do a short configuration procedure. 2. Volume (mass) measurement A strapping table function is available in the configuration menu for volume or mass measurement. Up to 30 volume (mass) values can be related to level values. For example: Level 1= 2 m / Volume 1= e.g. 0.7 m³ Level 2= 10 m / Volume 2= e.g. 5 m³ Level 3=...

(1) The HT extension is only for Metallic Horn and Wave Guide antennas. It is attached between the signal converter and the flange if the process connection temperature is +302...+482°F. (2) These are the length options for the straight antenna extension. For data about the dimensions of “S” and “L” extensions, refer to the illustrations that follow. (3) Other antenna lengths are available: 15.59", 19.53" or 23.46". These options are for tanks with long nozzles. AMETEK’ DREXELBROOK www.Drexelbrook.com
