2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION

OPTIWAVE 7300 C

 

2.2 Device description

This device is a 24 GHz FMCW-radar level transmitter. It is a non-contact technology and is 2- wire 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 Technical data on page 92.

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

3.6.2 Standpipes (stilling wells and bypass chambers)

Use a standpipe if:

There is highly conductive foam in the tank.

The liquid is very turbulent or agitated.

There are too many other objects in the tank.

The device is measuring a liquid (petro-chemicals) in a tank with a floating roof.

The device is installed in a horizontal cylindrical tank (refer to the end of this section)

3Air circulation hole

4Level of the liquid

CAUTION!

Installation requirements

The standpipe must be electrically conductive.

The inside diameter of the standpipe must not be more than 5 mm / 0.2¨ over the diameter of the antenna (for a high-dielectric constant liquid).

The standpipe must be straight. There must be no sudden changes in internal diameter greater than 1 mm / 0.04¨.

The standpipe must be vertical.

Recommended surface roughness: <±0.1 mm / 0.004¨.

Stilling well only: The bottom of the stilling well must be open.

OPTIWAVE 7300 C

 

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).

i These 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.

Stilling wells: horizontal cylindrical tanks

We recommend that you install the device in a stilling well if the device:

is for a horizontal cylindrical tank,

is in a metallic tank,

measures a product with a high dielectric constant and

is on the centerline of the tank.

Figure 3-11: Horizontal cylindrical tanks

1The device is installed without a stilling well. There are multiple reflections. Refer to the CAUTION! that follows.

2The device is installed in a stilling well and measures correctly.

CAUTION!

If the device is installed in horizontal cylindrical tank that contains a high dielectric constant liquid without a stilling well, do not put it on the tank centerline. This will cause multiple reflections and the device will not measure accurately. Use the Multiple Reflections function in

Supervisor > Advanced Setup > Installation Setup to keep the effects of multiple reflections to a minimum. For more data, refer to Function description on page 57 (C. Advanced Setup).

Bypass chambers

Installation next to tanks containing one liquid and foam

The top process connection of the bypass chamber must be above the maximum level of liquid.

The bottom process connection of the bypass chamber must be below the lowest measured level of liquid.

Installation next to tanks containing more than one liquid

The top process connection of the bypass chamber must be above the maximum level of liquid.

The bottom process connection of the bypass chamber must be below the lowest measured level of liquid.

Additional process connections are necessary for the liquids to circulate freely along the length of the bypass chamber.
