Product catalog summary
Overview of Guided Wave Radar Technology
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) technology is used for level measurement in various industrial applications. It operates independently of environmental factors such as noise, pressure, temperature fluctuations, density changes, foaming, steam, or dust. The technology is minimally affected by buildup on the probe or container walls and features a user-friendly, menu-driven setup process.
Measurement Principles
GWR uses microwave pulses conducted along a cable or rod probe, which are reflected by the product surface. This technique is suitable for measuring liquids, bulk solids, and separation layers in liquids.
Product Specifications
  • VEGAFLEX 81 & 82: Suitable for all kinds of liquids and bulk solids, with a measuring range of up to 75 m for cable probes and up to 6 m for rod probes. They operate within a temperature range of -60 to +200°C and pressure range of -1 to +40 bar. They offer signal outputs like 4-20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, and Modbus.
  • VEGAFLEX 83 & 86: Designed for aggressive liquids and extreme conditions, with a measuring range of up to 75 m for cable probes and up to 6 m for rod probes. They operate within a temperature range of -196 to +450°C and pressure range of -1 to +400 bar. They also provide similar signal outputs as VEGAFLEX 81 & 82.
Approvals and Benefits
All models have multiple international approvals including ATEX, UKEX, IECEx, FM, CSA, and others. They are designed for high reliability and low maintenance, ensuring high plant availability. VEGAFLEX 83 & 86 offer a hygienic design for easy cleaning and comprehensive diagnostic options.

Level l Guided Wave Radar Measurement of level and interface with guided wave radar (GWR) In level measurement with guided wave radar, microwave pulses are conducted along a cable or rod probe and reflected by the product surface. The measuring probe of the TDR sensor ensures that the signal reaches the medium undisturbed. Liquids, bulk solids and separation layers (interfaces) in liquids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.  Measurement operates independently of noise, pressure or temperature fluctuations and is completely unaffected by changes in density, foaming, steam or dust  Buildup on the probe or on the container wall hardly affects the measurement  Menu-driven adjustment allows simple, fast and confident setup
