2.2 Device description
The TDR level transmitter is designed to measure the distance, level, mass and volume of
liquids, pastes, slurries, granulates and powders.
TDR level transmitters use a probe to guide a signal to the surface of the measured product. The
device has a large choice of probes. Thus, it can measure most products in difficult conditions.
