1 Intended use

The GF type 2290 non-contact microwave level transmitters provide the most advanced, new
generation measurement technique of the industrial process automation field. The 2290 is an
ideal solution for high precision level transmitting of liquids, slurries, emulsions and other
chemicals in a wide range of applications, such as food, energy, pharmaceutical and the
chemical industry, and even in naval applications with mm accuracy range and high
measuring stability.

2290 is able to provide an excellent non-contact level measurement for those substances
which tend to steam, or for liquids with a gas layer. Since microwaves do not need a defined
propagation media, the 2290 is applicable in a vacuum.

5 Design and function

5.1 Function

5.2 Principle of operation

The operation of the non-contact microwave level transmitters is based on the measurement
of the time of flight of the reflected signals, so-called Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
method.

The propagation speed of microwave impulses is practically the same in air, gases and in
vacuum, independently from the process temperature and pressure, so the measured
distance is not affected by the physical parameters of medium to be measured.

7

Design and function Instruction manual

The 2290 level transmitter is a Pulse Burst Radar operating at 25 GHz (K-band) microwave
frequency.

The 25 GHz models’ most noticeable advantage over the lower frequency (5-12 GHz) radars
are the smaller antenna size, the better focusing, lower dead-band and smaller transmission
angle.

The level transmitter emits nanosecond length impulses from the antenna, and part of the
emitted energy reflects back from the measurement surface, the strength of the reflect
varies on the medium being measured. The time of flight of the reflected signal is measured
and processed by the electronics, and then this is converted to distance, level or volume
proportional data.

6.2 Determining the maximum measuring range

The maximum measuring range of the 2290 radar is dependent upon the circumstances of
the application environment and on the selected type of antenna enclosure. Depending on the
relative dielectric constant of the measuring medium and the process conditions the
maximum measurement range (achievable under the reference conditions) may decrease by
even 85%.

Depending on the process conditions or the plastic antenna enclosure the following typical
reducing factors are recommended to be considered in order to calculate the maximum
measuring range. When more than one reducing factors occur at the same time then all the
factors should be included for the calculation:

11

Conditions of safe operation Instruction manual

Placement

The ideal position for the 2290 is on = (0.3 … 0.5) xR
(in case of cylindrical tank). It is highly
recommended to consider the beam cone of 19°.
The distance between the sensor and the tank wall
should be at least 200 mm (7.9 inch). If the unit is
installed into dome top or spherical tank,
unwanted multiple reflections may appear, which
can cancel each other and the measuring signal
out, this way it can interfere the measurement.

7 Conditions of safe operation

To avoid the danger of electrostatic charge accumulation, in case of the type 2290 (with plastic
electronic housing or plastic antenna enclosure) the following safety rule shall be observed:

 The measured medium should be an electrostatic conductor and the electrical resistivity

of the measured medium cannot exceed 104 .

 The speed and the method of the filling and emptying process should be chosen properly

according to the measured medium.

 The plastic antenna enclosure should only be wiped cleaned with a wet cloth.

Meeting the requirements of the technological process
Please carefully consider that all parts of the instrument which can possibly to come into

contact with the measured medium – including the transducer, the sealing and any other
mechanical parts – should meet all requirements of the applied technological process, such
as the process pressure, temperature and chemical effects of the used technologies.

FCC Radio license
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
warranty and user's authority to operate the equipment.

8 Installation

8.1 Mounting

When choosing the installation place please ensure proper space for accessing the unit for
calibration, verification, and or maintenance service.

12

Instruction manual Installation

Moving liquid surface

Waving, vortex or strong vibration effects can have
negative influence on the measurement accuracy
and the maximum measuring range. To avoid
these effects, the mounting placement should be
as far as possible from the sources of these
disturbing effects. According to measurement
experiences the maximum measuring distance
may decrease by 60-70% when the liquid surface
is vortexing. For this reason the device should be
mounted as far as possible from the filling stream
or the tank outlet.

Foaming

Filling, stirring or any other
processes in the tank can generate
dense foams on the liquid surface,
which may considerably damp the
reflected signals. According to
measurement experiences, in these
cases the maximum measuring
distance can decrease by as much
as 50%.

Fumes, Vapours

If the measured medium or its
foam can reach the antenna or
the measured medium is highly
fuming, these cases build-ups
can form on the sensor, which
may result unreliable level
measurement.

Sensor alignment

The antenna face should be
parallel to the medium
surface within  2-3°.

Temperature

To avoid overheating
the instrument should
be protected against
direct sunshine.

Obstacles

Prior to the installation make sure
that no objects (cooling pipes,
bracing elements, mixer shaft,
other sensors such as pH,
Temperature, et cetera) cross the
microwave signals. Especially in
case of extraordinary large silos
bracing elements and other
structural obstacles may cause
false reflections which can be
damped in most cases: a small bent
metal deflector plate mounted
above the obstacle can disperse the
microwave signals and eliminates
the false reflections which disturb
the reliable measurement.

If there is no possible mechanical
solution to avoid these kinds of false
reflections, the programming of the
instrument allows blocking out the
obstacles.

Polarization plane

The emitted radar impulses of
2290 are electromagnetic
waves. The orientation of the
polarization plane is the same
as for the electric wave
component of the electro­magnetic wave. The rotation of
the polarization plane
compared to the tank position
could be useful (for example to
avoid disturbing reflections) in
certain applications. To rotate
the polarization plane loosen
the M6 hex socket set screw
above the process connection
and rotate the instrument.
Then tighten the unit by the
screw.

13

Installation Instruction manual

Empty tank

Especially in case of standing tanks
with hemispherical bottom and in
case of tanks which have any
equipment inside at the bottom (e.g.
heating element, mixer) wrong level
measurement may happen when
the tank is totally emptied. The
reason for this measurement error
is that the tank bottom or the
objects at the bottom disperse or
reflect the emitted microwave
signals. Furthermore these weak
and dispersed signals may interfere
with Transmitter performance.In
order to perform reliable level
measurement there should be at
least 100 mm liquid level above the
disturbing objects at the bottom or
above the hemispherical tank
bottom.

Socket, nozzle

The process connection should be implemented
that the antenna end should protrude at least
10 mm out of the socket.

8.2 Wiring

The instrument operates from 20 … 36 V galvanic isolated and not grounded DC power supply

in two-wire system. The voltage value measured on the terminal of the instrument should be
minimum 20 V (in case of 4mA)! In case of using HART interface a minimal 250 Ohm
resistance should be maintained within the network. The instrument should be wired with
shielded cable led through the cable gland. The wiring of the cables can be done after
removing the cover of the instrument and the display unit.

14

Instruction manual Installation

The grounding screw on the housing of the transmitter should be connected to the
equipotential network. Resistance of the EP network should be connected to the system
ground with the same potential as the rest of the network. The shield wire of the signal
cable should only be grounded at the control panel, and left floating/ insulated at the sensor.
To avoid electrical noise, route signal cable away from cables carrying AC voltages.
Especially the inductive couplings of AC harmonics can be critical (which are present at
frequency converter control) because even cable shielding does not supply effective
protection against these cases.

The instrument may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) via its terminal,
thus apply the precautions commonly used to avoid electrostatic discharge e.g.
By touching a properly grounded point before removing the cover of the enclosure.
A possible electrostatic discharge can cause damage for the instrument. Do not touch the
internal terminals!

Water / Vapor

To achieve suitable ingress protection GF recommends using the suggested
cable outer diameter and properly secure the cable gland.

GF also recommends routing the connecting cables downwards to divert
rain water or condensed water away from Transmitter. This is needed in
case of outside installations and some special applications where there is
very high humidity or the possibility of water condensation is quite high (for
example in cleaning, purification processes, in cooled and / or heated tanks).

8.2.2 Determine the appropriate power supply voltage

The minimal power supply voltage required by the 2290 devices is depending on the load
impedance in accordance to the below diagram:

16

Instruction manual Installation

Calculation example: Voltage drop calculated with 22 mA:
U

minimal supply voltage (22 mA)

U

minimal supply voltage (22 mA)

= 22 mA x load resistance+ U

input minimum (22 mA)

= 22 mA x 250 Ohm + 9 V = 5.5 V + 13.6 V = 19.1 V

In order to provide operation in the total current loop range the calculation should be also
checked with 4 mA:

U

minimal supply voltage (4 mA)

U

minimal supply voltage (4 mA)

= 4 mA x load resistance + U

input minimum (4 mA)

= 4 mA x 250 Ohm + 19 V = 1 V + 19 V = 20 V

Therefore in case of 250 Ohm load resistance 20 V power supply voltage is just enough for the
total 4-20 mA measuring range.

8.3 Loop current checking with hand instrument

After removing the cover and the Display Module, the actual loop current can be measured
through an internal 1 Ohm shunt resistor by connecting a voltmeter (in the range of 200 mV)
to the points 2 and 5 indicated on the wiring drawing above – 10mV ~ 1mA.

17

Programming 2290 Level Transmitter Instruction manual

The display module is based on LCD technology, so please make
sure it is not exposed to permanent heat or direct sunlight, in order
to avoid damage of the display unit. If the instrument cannot be
protected against direct sunlight or high temperature that is beyond
the standard operating temperature range of the display, please do
not leave the display in the instrument.

9 Programming 2290 Level Transmitter

The 2290 transmitters can be programmed (basically) in the following two ways:

 Programming with the display unit

All features of the unit can be accessed and all parameters can be set, such as
measurement configuration and optimization,
outputs, dimensions for 11 different tank shapes, 99-point linearization.

 Programming with EView2 PC configuration software

The 2290 include the display unit.
The 2290 transmitters are fully operational without the display as well, it is only needed for

local programming and / or local measurement displaying.

Factory default setting 2290 Level Transmitter
The 2290 level transmitters are factory programmed in the following way:

 Measurement mode: Level (LEV). The displayed value is the measured level.
 The current output and the bargraph on the right are proportional to the measured level.
 4 mA and 0% are assigned to zero level.
 20 mA and 100% are assigned to the maximum level.
 Error indication by the current output: holding the last value.
 Level tracking time constant: 15 sec.

The instrument regards the distance (DIST) measured from the antenna end as the basic
measurement value. This distance is handled and displayed in one of the selected dimensions:
m, cm, mm, feet, or inch. Since the maximum measurement distance is given (entered in P04)
the instrument can calculate the actual level (LEV) value. If the proper mechanical
dimensions of the mounting to distance between the sealing and the tank bottom – is known,
the measured level values can be more accurate by adding this data. The level values
calculated that way are the base for volume (VOL) calculation and the 99-point linearization
table (VMT) also uses these values as input data.

9.1 The display unit

The display unit is a 64x128 dot-matrix LCD display which can be plugged into the transmitter.

27

Programming 2290 Level Transmitter Instruction manual

Parameter:

OPTIMIZATION / BACKG.ECHO IMAGE / SAVE BACKG.
IMAGE

Path:

The stationary disturbing objects inside the tank which
generates unwanted false reflections can be blocked
out from the measurement range. For this purpose the
instrument needs to map the totally empty tank to
create a ”background image”. After this procedure the
software will automatically recognizes and ignores the
reflections coming from the disturbing objects crossing
the microwave beam.

Warning! The background image should be saved only when the tank does not
contain measurement medium, but the disturbing objects inside the tank are
not removed. The background image is not recommended to be saved when
the tank is filled with the measurement medium since it might result wrong
level measurement.

Background Image / Mapping function

Using saved background image
Parameter: P35: a, where a: 0, 1
Path: OPTIMIZATION / BACKG.ECHO IMAGE / SAVE BACKG: IMAGE
Description: Turning ON or OFF the usage of saved background image during the

calculations as per the above 5.3.4.5 point described.

• OFF: Ignoring the saved background image.

• ON: Saving background image, damping reflections coming from the

disturbing objects.

Default value: OFF

Treshold value
Parameter: P29
Path: OPTIMIZATION / TRESHOLD VALUE
Description: Defining an upper limit value above the saved background image described in

point “Background Image / Mapping function”. The instrument will evaluate the
measurement result as a real echo when the reflected signal exceeds the
saved background level with the threshold value entered here. Setting the
threshold value is useful when the level in the tank and the position of the
(small surface) not-moving disturbing object are the same. This case the
instrument will not process the echo signal as false reflection.

Default value: 4 dB

28

Instruction manual Programming 2290 Level Transmitter

If none of the formulas match perfectly to the characteristics of
the needed tank, there is a possibility to use the table calculation
mode. The device can handle a 99-point table for this reason and
counts values between the neighbouring point pairs with linear
interpolation.

The input (left) side of the table contains the level data, the output
(right) side contains the volume or mass data.

The first point pair of the table should be 0,0. If a long table needed to be shortened, 0,0 point
pair should be entered into the last item of the table and the device modifies the unused
point pairs automatically in the background to 0,0. The status (ON or OFF) of the table is
shown on a warning message (1) on the bottom line of the display.

9.3.5 Calculations

Specific gravity
Parameter: P32
Path: CALCULATION / SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Description: Entering a value (other than “0”) of specific gravity in this parameter, the MASS

value will be displayed instead of Volume (VOL) in the dimension of tonne or
lb/tonne depending on P00 (c) and P02 (b).

Default value: 0

Volume / mass calculation mode
Parameter: P47: a
Path: CALCULATION / V/M CALC. MODE
Description: Calculation of the volume and mass can be performed in two ways:

• TANK FUNCTION/SHAPE – volume and mass calculation with a tank

shape formula. Entering this menu point the table is automatically OFF.

• V/M TABLE – volume and mass calculation with a table. Entering this

menu point the table automatically turns ON.

Default value: 0

Volume / mass table
Parameter: ­Path: CALCULATION / V/M CALC. MODE / V/M TABLE
Description: • VIEW/EDIT TABLE

• ADD ITEM

• DELETE ITEM

All modifications are done on a temporary table. This temporary table becomes valid after
exiting. Modifications during the programming procedure have no effect on the measurement
and the transmitting.

29

Programming 2290 Level Transmitter Instruction manual

Entering the point pairs can be done in arbitrary order, because the
device sorts according to ascending order. Both sides of the table
have to be strictly monotonic increasing. In case of any errors,
warning message will appear. When entering again in the table an
inscription indicates the first wrong line.

View table:
In VIEW/EDIT TABLE menu point items of the ordered table can be

checked. For moving in the list use the and buttons, for editing
the selected item use the button. Exiting from the list can be
done by pressing the button.

Edit table:
Adding a point pair (ADD ITEM) to the list or pressing button on

an existing item, an edit screen will appear. In this edit screen there
are two editing fields. Both editing fields work the same as editing a
parameter. Getting from the first field to the second field press the

button. Pressing button in the second field will return back to
the previous menu point. When exiting from the last field, the device
performs the ordering of the table.

Delete item
Moving in the list can be done with and buttons, for deleting an

item press the button on the selected item. Exiting from the list
can be done by pressing the button. The table should contain at
least 2 items.
