Catalog excerpts

Guided Wave Radar for Powders & Solids BinMaster’s GWR-2000 guided microwave level transmitter utilizes time domain reflectometry (TDR) to continuously measure the distance, level, and volume of powders and solids in bins, tanks and silos. The transmitter is mounted on the top of the vessel in an unobstructed area through a 1-1/2” NPT opening or 3” ANSI flange. A single, flexible 8 mm stainless steel cable with a counter weight is suspended from the transmitter to the bottom of the vessel. Reliable level measurement in high dust and low dielectrics The transmitter emits a high frequency microwave pulse guided along the cable. When the pulse reaches the material surface, the pulse energy is reflected back up to the sensor head. Level is calculated based on the time difference between the pulse being sent and the reflected pulse received. This sensor features hazardous location approvals, a very small upper dead zone, and assures highly accurate level measurement in low dielectric materials down to 1.3. Hazardous location approval and Modbus RTU options GWR-2000 for Bulk Solids • Measuring distance up to 100 feet • For light to heavy bulk solids • 4-20 mA and Modbus RTU communications • Performs in high dust • Immune to condensation • Virtually maintenance free • Reliable accuracy within 0.08” • Hazardous location approvals • BinDisc simple setup and configuration

Ideal for Granules, Powders, and Bulk Solids The GWR uses innovative technology to automatically monitor the dielectric constant of the material as low as 1.3, making it a superior guided wave radar for powders and solids. Advanced, high resolution signal processing significantly reduces or eliminates the upper deadband, ensuring accurate level measurement at the top of the vessel. The TDR technology is proven to work in difficult applications with excessive steam, condensation, or buildup. The GWR-2000 excels in challenging conditions such as vessels with high dust and air movement, or...
