1.1 The superior TDR solution
This device is a Guided Radar (TDR) Level Transmitter for measuring distance, level, interface,
level and interface, volume and mass. It has higher signal dynamics and a sharper pulse than
conventional TDR devices and therefore better reproducibility and accuracy. A variant with a
remote converter can be mounted up to 14.5 m / 47.6 ft from the probe. The device can operate
at very low and very high process temperatures as long as the process connection temperature
limits are observed.

1.2 Applications
1. Level measurement of liquids
PRODUCT FEATURES
The level transmitter can measure the level of a
wide range of liquid products on a large variety of
installations within the stated pressure and
temperature range, including LPG and LNG. It does
not require calibration or commissioning when
installed. A Metaglas® option is also available for
dangerous products and ensures that no leakage is
possible.
A number of probe end attachments are available.
For example, the user can fix the end of cable probes
to heating coils: the heat prevents deposits building
up on the probe.
1
2. Interface measurement of liquids
The level transmitter can measure interface with or
without an air gap. It can also measure level and
interface simultaneously. It has an optional second
analogue output.
The coaxial probe of the level transmitter has a top
dead zone of only 35 mm / 1.4¨: this makes it ideal
for tracking full tank or ballast interface.

PRODUCT FEATURES
3. Level measurement of solids
4. Measurement of liquids in a bypass chamber
OPTIFLEX 1300 C
The level transmitter has a strengthened Ø8 mm /
0.3¨ single cable probe for measuring powders and
granulates in silos up to 35 m / 115 ft high.
The Ø4 mm / 0.15¨ single cable probe is used for
small silos. An ESD protection (30 kV) option is also
available.
If a product has a very low dielectric constant
(ε
<1.6), the level transmitter automatically
r
switches to TBF (Tank Bottom Following) mode and
keeps operating.
The level transmitter can measure accurately in
agitated conditions and in the presence of foam. If
the tank is full of obstructions such as agitators and
reinforcements, we recommend installing the level
transmitter in a bypass chamber. This solution is
available from KROHNE under the name BM 26 F.
Please refer to the BM 26 F documentation for
further information.

5. Measurement of liquids in a still well
6. Remote display on high or inaccessible tanks
PRODUCT FEATURES
You can also install the level transmitter in a still
well if there are vortices, agitators or other
obstructions in the tank. It is also suitable for tanks
with floating roofs. The level transmitter's setup
wizard allows you to quickly configure your device to
suit specific types of installations and get the best
possible performance from it.
1
If it is difficult or impossible to read the level
transmitter's integrated display at the top of the
tank, we recommend the remote display variant. It is
provided with a cable up to 14.5 m / 47.6 ft long and a
bracket for mounting in an accessible position.
If there is vibration in the installation, we also
recommend that you attach the remote converter to
a wall or another safe object that is not attached to
the installation.

1.4 Measuring principle
This Guided Radar (TDR) level meter has been developed from a proven technology called Time
Domain Reflectometry (TDR).
The device transmits low-intensity electromagnetic pulses of approximately half a nanosecond
width along a rigid or flexible conductor. These pulses move at the speed of light. When the
pulses reach the surface of the product to be measured, the pulses are reflected with an
intensity that depends on the dielectric constant, ε
dielectric constant and reflects the pulse back to the meter converter at 80% of its original
intensity).
The device measures the time from when the pulse is emitted to when it is received: half of this
time is equivalent to the distance from the reference point of the device (the flange facing) to the
surface of the product. The time value is converted into an output current of 4...20 mA and/or a
digital signal.
Dust, foam, vapor, agitated surfaces, boiling surfaces, changes in pressure, changes in
temperature and changes in density do not have an effect on device performance.

3 Time 2: Part of the pulse is reflected at the surface of the top liquid, the remaining pulse goes down the probe
4 Time 3: Part of the pulse goes up the probe at speed, V1. The remaining pulse goes down the probe at the speed of
light in the top product, V2

face of the 2 liquids

12 Received EM pulse (distance to the top liquid)
13 Received EM pulse (distance to the interface of 2 liquids)
If products have a very low dielectric constant (εr<1.6), only a small part of the EM pulse is
reflected at the surface of the product. Most of the pulse is reflected at the probe end. TBF (tank
bottom following) mode is used to measure the distance to the product surface.
TBF mode (indirect measurement) compares:
• The time for the pulse to go to the probe end and go back to the converter when the tank is
empty.
• The time for the pulse to go to the probe end and go back to the converter when the tank is
full or partially filled.
The level of the product in the tank can be calculated from the time difference.
