The new PiloTREK WE–200 non-contact radar level transmitters use the most advanced industrial measurement technology, the 80 GHz FMCW radar. The most fundamental advantage of 80 GHz radars compared to lower frequencies (5…12 GHz and 25 GHz) is the smaller antenna size, better focusability, and narrow beam angle.
It uses the latest technology for measuring liquids, masses, emulsions, and other chemicals widely used in, for example, the water industry, food industry, energy industry, pharmaceutical industry, and chemical industry, which provides measurement results with millimeter accuracy. It is also excellent for measuring substances prone to vapor formation and liquids with gas blanket or large-particle bulk solids.
In addition to the level, volume, and weight measurement functions, this product family also inherits the open-channel flow measurement functions and the threshold functions to eliminate false and interfering echoes. Since no medium is required for millimeter waves to propagate, it can also be used in a vacuum.
The device can also be operated with HART® compliant NIVELCO EView2, MultiCONT universal process controller, and PACTware software, or programmed via Bluetooth® communication with the new MobileEView app.
