DEVICE DESCRIPTION 2
2.2 Device description
The FMCW radar level transmitter is designed to measure the distance, level, mass, volume and reflectivity of liquids, pastes and
slurries. Radar level transmitters use an antenna to guide a signal to the surface of the measured product. Radar is a non-contact
technology. It is particularly suitable for the level measurement of corrosive products.
The signal converter of the device has 2 versions: Compact version
The signal converter is attached directly to the process connection and antenna.
Figure 2-2: Compact version
Remote version
The signal converter is installed away from the process connection and antenna (for example: at the bottom of a tank). The
communication cable between the signal converter and the antenna has a maximum length of 100 m / 328 ft.

1 Do not tilt the device more than 2°
2 If there are too many obstacles in the radar beam, do an empty spectrum scan (refer to Operation) to remove parasitic signals with a filter. If necessary, install a
bypass chamber or stilling well or use an S-shaped extension or a 90° bend extension (the device must be installed on the side of the tank) to move the device away
from obstacles.

Obstacles in the tank
Figure 3-11: Obstacles in the tank
Do not put the device directly above obstacles (agitator, support beams, heating tubes etc.). Parasitic signals from obsta- cles will cause the device to measure
incorrectly.
1 Solution 1: Put the device on another process connection away from obstacles
2 Solution 2: Use the same process connection, but also use an S-shaped extension
3 Solution 3: Attach the device to the side of the tank and use a 90° bend extension
