2.2 Device description

This device is a 24 GHz FMCW-radar level transmitter. It is a non-contact technology and is 2­wire loop-powered. It is designed to measure the distance, level, mass, volume and reflectivity of granulates and powders.
Radar level transmitters use an antenna to guide a signal to the surface of the measured product. The device has many antennas available. Thus, it can measure most products even in difficult conditions. Also refer to
The device has a setup wizard, fully-potted electronic circuit boards and online help functions. It has a 4...20 mA+HART output (a second output is optional) and an optional local display. You usually will not need this Handbook to install, setup and operate the device.
If it is ordered with the applicable options, it can be certified for use in hazardous areas.

3.6 Installation recommendations for solids

CAUTION!
Do not install the device above objects in the silo (ladder, supports etc.). Objects in the silo can cause parasite radar signals. If there are parasite radar signals, the device will not measure correctly. If it is not possible to install the device on another part of the silo, do an empty spectrum scan.
INFORMATION!
We recommend that you configure the device when the silo is empty.
INFORMATION!
For the best device performance, the antenna should be silo-intrusive. Refer to the illustration that follows.
INSTALLATION 3
Figure 3-7: General installation recommendations
1 The level transmitter can continue to measure to the bottom of the silo if you tilt the device as shown in the illustration
(a 2° slanted flange option is available for all antennas)
2 If there are too many objects in the radar footprint, do an empty spectrum scan. For more data, refer to
the empty spectrum function to filter parasite signals
3 Conical silo bottoms. For fine adjustment of the device, refer to
ical bottoms
4 Radius of radar footprint (DN80 horn antenna): increments of 90 mm/m or 1.1¨/ft (5°)
Radius of radar footprint (DN100 horn antenna and DN80 Drop antenna): increments of 70 mm/m or 0.83¨/ft (4°) Radius of radar footprint (DN150 Drop antenna): increments of 35 mm/m or 0.42¨/ft (2°)

5.1 Start-up checklist

Check these points before you energize the device:
Are all the wetted components (antenna, flange and gaskets) resistant to the product in the
silo?
Does the information on the signal converter nameplate agree with the operating data?
Did you correctly install the device on the silo?
Do the electrical connections agree with the national electrical codes?
DANGER!
Before you energize the device, make sure that the supply voltage and polarity are correct.
DANGER!
Make sure that the device and the installation agrees with the requirements of the Ex certificate of compliance.

6.4.5 Distance measurement

OPTIWAVE 6300 C
The device displays distance measurements when an output is set to distance. Menu items related to distance measurement are:
output function (C.3.1 or C.4.1).
tank height (C.1.2).
blocking distance (C.1.9).
Use the flange facing as the reference point for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings. The 4 and 20 mA current output settings are the minimum and maximum points of the measurement scale. You can change the reference point from which distance is measured. Use this menu item:
reference offset (C.1.10).
INFORMATION!
If you move the reference point above the flange, add this value when give a distance for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings. If you move the reference point below the flange, subtract this value when give a distance for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings.
CAUTION!
If the distance for the 4 mA is set in the blocking distance, the device will not be able to use the full current output range.

6.4.6 Level measurement

The device displays level measurements when an output is set to level. Menu items related to level measurement are:
output function (C.3.1 or C.4.1).
tank height (C.1.2).
blocking distance (C.1.9).
Use the silo bottom as the reference point for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings. The 4 and 20 mA current output settings are the minimum and maximum points of the measurement scale. You can change the reference point from which level is measured. Use this menu item:
tank bottom offset (C.1.11).
INFORMATION!
If you move the reference point below the silo bottom, add this value when give a level for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings. If you move the reference point above the silo bottom, subtract this value when give a level for the 4 and 20 mA current output settings.

CAUTION!
If the level for the 20 mA is set in the blocking distance, the device will not be able to use the full current output range.

6.4.7 How to configure the device to measure volume or mass

The device can be configured to measure volume or mass. The procedure for doing this is given in the device's Quick Setup menu.
How to create a volume or mass table.
Go to Supervisor > Quick setup > Setup mode > Conversion.
Complete all the steps in the setup procedure.
The device creates a table of up to 50 pairs of data (level - volume or level - mass). The reference point for the table is the silo bottom (as given in menu item C.1.2 Tank height.).
INFORMATION!
You can also create customized length and conversion units (free units) in the Conversion setup procedure.
INFORMATION!
When you create a table, get more conversion data for parts of the silo where there are:
Surfaces with curves.
Sudden changes in the cross section.
This will make volume measurement more accurate.

6.4.8 How to use the empty spectrum function to filter parasite signals

If the device measures level in a silo that contains obstructions (ladder, supports etc.), these objects can cause radar signal interference. You can use the empty spectrum function in the device's Quick Setup menu to filter radar signal interference.
INFORMATION!
We recommend that you do an empty spectrum scan when the silo is empty and all the moving parts are switched on.

6.4.9 How to measure correctly in silos with curved or conical bottoms

It is possible that the device cannot find the bottom of the silo if it is installed in a silo with a dish-shaped or conical bottom. The form of the silo bottom causes a delayed radar reflection and the device will display the error message "Measurement is lost in the tank bottom".
You can offset the tank bottom reference point to find the delayed radar reflection. Obey the instructions that follow:
Empty the silo.
Increase the tank height in menu C.1.2.
Go to the signal screen in operator mode.
i You will see a graph of reflections.
OPERATION 6
- table A.
Press > to move the cursor to the reflection with the largest amplitude (given in dB).
Make a note of the distance of the reflection measured by the device.
i The distance to the reflection will be the new silo height.
Subtract the distance to the reflection from the true silo height.
Go to Supervisor > Advanced setup > Installation setup > Tank bottom offset.
Type in the difference you calculated as a negative value.
i A negative value will move the reference point above the silo bottom (as given in menu item
C.1.2 Tank height).
Press ^.
Press > and U (Esc) at the same time to exit to the "save settings" window.

8.1 Measuring principle

A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected on the product surface and received after a time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave).
The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the measuring surface and received with a time delay, t. Delay time, t=2d/c, where d is the distance to the product surface and c is the speed of light in the gas above the product.
For further signal processing the difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A large frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency difference Δf is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between tank height and measuring distance.

Process connection size The process connection should be larger than the antenna diameter.
If the process connection on the instrument is smaller than the antenna, either:
- provide the means to adapt the instrument to a larger process connection on the silo (for example, a plate with a slot), or
- use the same process connection, but remove the antenna from the instrument before installation and fit it from inside the silo
Process connection position Make sure that there are not any obstructions directly below the process
