Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and installation guidelines for the GRLM70 series radar level meters by Riels Instruments, designed for continuous level measurement in various containers.
Specifications: These radar level meters feature a stainless steel rod or rope electrode with a measuring range up to 40 meters, suitable for non-conductive and differently shaped containers. They include a current output (4-20 mA) and HART protocol for communication.
Model Variants: Different models are available for specific applications, such as the GRLM-70_–10 for liquids and bulk solids, and the GRLM-70_–11 and GRLM-70_–12 for aggressive and pure liquids.
Technical Specifications: Operating on a supply voltage of 18-36 V DC, these devices have a basic error margin and are designed to withstand atmospheric changes. They have an IP67 protection class and are suitable for high-temperature environments.
Installation Guidelines: Proper installation is crucial, with instructions emphasizing avoiding interference with the dead zone and ensuring the electrode does not touch tank walls.
Materials and Durability: Constructed from aluminum, polycarbonate, and stainless steel, with specific coatings for electrodes, these devices are durable within specified temperature and pressure limits.
Recommendations: Maintain specified distances from tank walls and use the "TEACHING" procedure to suppress false reflections. Correct installation of rope electrodes in deep tanks and silos is advised.
Specifications and Installation Guidelines:
  • Metal sheets are required for certain installations, except for GRLM-70_20 models.
  • Concrete silo installations require specific hole diameters.
  • Level meters should be shielded from direct solar radiation.
  • Cables should be installed to prevent humidity penetration.
  • Reference tubes can be used in cramped spaces, except for GRLM-70_20 models.
  • Customer-installed electrodes must meet specific requirements for GRLM-70_00 models.
  • A protective zone around the electrode is necessary to prevent interference.
Safety, Protection, and Standards:
  • Includes seals, stainless steel nuts, and welding flanges.
  • Protection against reverse polarity and output current overload is included.
  • Complies with EN standards for electromagnetic compatibility and explosion proofing.
Performance and Order Code:
  • Electrode options include uncoated and coated types.
  • Output types include current and RS-485 (Modbus RTU).
  • Standard process connection is Thread G1".
  • Electrical connection options include short cable outlet and protective conductor outlet.
  • Set-up elements include versions with or without display.

RADAR LEVEL METERS Radar level meters with guided wave (principle tdr) • Suited to continuous level mesurement of various liquid, mush and bulksolid materials. • Universal use, direct mounting into containers, silos, vessels, reservoirs, etc. • Stainless steel rod or rope electrode • Measuring range up to 40m • Linear measurement in non-conductive and in differently shaped containers • Quick view measured values on the display • Simple installation and setting • Current output (4 ... 20 mA), HART® protocol The GRLM® radar level meters are compact measurement devices including an transmitter of microwave pulses, central processor unit and display module. Tutti i dati ed i contenuti di questa scheda sono di proprietà esclusiva di Riels Instruments The electronics transmits very short electrical pulses (0.5 ns), which are linked to a onewire transmission line (measuring electrode). Measuring electrode can be created of rod or rope. The pulse propagates along the electrode in the form of electromagnetic ave toward the level surface, where it is partly reflected and the reflected component is returned to the receiving module of the electronics. The electronics measures the ime of flight of electromagnetic wave and the instant distance to the surface level is calculated. According to the level height, the level meter output is set and the measured value is displayed on the display. Radar level meters are resistant against changes in the atmosphere (pressure, temperature, dust, steam) and to changes in medium parameters (change in dielectric constant, conductivity). Without electrode, the electrode is made by customer (only variant 10 or 30) and connected to the electrode junction by M8 thread. Uncoated stainless steel rod electrode, for level measurement liquids and bulk solid materials (water, water solutions, emulsion, oils, diesel, flour, sand, granulates, etc.). Maximum electrode length 8 m. Fully coated stainless steel rod electrode (PFA Teflon®), for level measurement of aggressive liquids and very pure liquids. Maximum electrode length 2 m. Fully coated stainless steel rod electrode (FEP Teflon®), for level measurement of aggressive liquids and drinks. Maximum electrode length 2 m. Uncoated stainless steel rod electrode with reference tube, for accurate level measurement of liquids in cramped spaces. Maximum electrode length 3 m. Uncoated stainless steel rope electrode and weight, for level measurement of liquids and bulk solid materials (water, grains, sand, flour, cement, etc.) in higher silos, vessels, reservoirs. Maximum electrode length 40 m. Fully coated stainless steel rope electrode and coated weight, for level measurement of aggressive liquids and very pure liquids. Maximum electrode length 12 m. Uncoated stainless steel rope electrode with anchorage, for level measurement of bulk solid materials (grains, flour, cement, etc.) in higher silos, vessels. Maximum electrode length 40 m.

RADAR LEVEL METERS INSTALLATION Install the level meter into the upper lid of the tank or reservoir using a welding flange or fastering nut. The min. distance to install the level meter into a lid or a ceiling of a tank from the metal tank wall is 300 mm and from the non-metal tank wall is 500 mm (except GRLM-70_-20). If installed in an open channel (sumps, reservoirs, etc.), install the level meter as closest as you can to the maximum level expected. Rope electrode level meter must untangle and then can be inserted into the tank. In case any visible defects are discovered, the manufacturer or...
