2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
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
liquids, pastes and slurries.
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 set-up wizard, fully-potted electronic circuit boards and online help functions.
You usually will not need this Handbook to install, set up and operate the device.
If it is ordered with the applicable options, it can be certified for use in hazardous areas.
These output options are available:
• 1 output: 4...20 mA (HART)
• 2 outputs: 4...20 mA (HART) + 4...20 mA

Stilling wells - general notes
Installation in tanks containing one liquid and foam
• Drill an air circulation hole (max. Ø10 mm / 0.4¨) in the stilling well above the maximum level.
• Remove the burr from the hole.
Installation in tanks containing one liquid or more without foam
• Drill an air circulation hole (max. Ø10 mm / 0.4¨) in the stilling well above the maximum level.
• Drill 1 or more liquid circulation holes in the stilling well (if there is more than 1 liquid in the
tank).
iThese holes help the liquid to move freely between the stilling well and the tank.
• Remove the burr from the hole.
Stilling wells: floating roofs
If the device must be installed on a tank with a floating roof, install it in a stilling well.
