RadarRight^TM Series 400

NON-CONTACT, RADAR LEVEL SENSOR

FOR POWDERS AND BULK SOLIDS

Principle of Operation - RadarRight Non-Contact Radar Level Sensor

The RadarRight(TM) radar level sensor emits a microwave pulse from its antenna, which travels at the speed of light to the surface of the medium below. The time-of-flight of the pulse and its reflection back to the instrument location is directly related to the empty distance in the vessel and the material level. The output from the electronics is continuously updated as the level of the material surface changes.

Application for Non-Contact Radar Level Sensor - Powder / Bulk Solids

> Excellent when application requires that nothing contacts or interferes with the process.
> Strong performance for most powders / bulk solids in vessels up to 98.5 ft. (30m) tall with 5 inch (123mm) diameter horn.
> Provides measurements in dusty conditions.
> Suitable for various metal or nonmetal vessels.
> Can monitor height of material on an open area conveyor belt.
