Continuous level measurement NG 8100 - Rod and cable probe Technical information / Instruction manual Fig. 1: Level measurement 1 Sensor reference plane (seal surface of the process fitting) d Distance to the level h Height - Level Functional principle interface measurement High frequency microwave impulses are guided along a steel cable or rod. Upon reaching the medium surface, a part of the microwave impulses is reflected. The other part passes through the upper product and is reflected by the interface. The running times to the two product layers are processed by the instrument.
