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.
These accessories are available:
• stainless steel weather protection.
• RS232/HART
• USB/HART

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

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°)

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.

• 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

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

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.

8 TECHNICAL DATA
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
