Levelflex M FMP40 Function and system design Measuring principle The Levelflex is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the ToF method (ToF = Time of Flight). The distance from the reference point (process connection of the measuring device, → ä 43) to the product surface is measured. High-frequency pulses are injected to a probe and led along the probe. The pulses are reflected by the product surface, received by the electronic evaluation unit and converted into level information. This method is also known as TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). flange: reference point...

Levelflex M FMP40 Interface measurement When the high-frequency pulses hit the surface of the medium, only a percentage of the transmission pulse is reflected. In the case of media with a low DC1, in particular, the other part penetrates the medium. The pulse is reflected once more at the interface point to a second medium with a higher DC2. The distance to the interface layer now can also be determined taking into account the delayed time-of-flight of the pulse through the upper medium. c = c0 = 300 000 km/s total level DK1 C1 = C0 DK1 interface level DK2 L00-FMP4xxxx-15-00-00-en-007 Output...
