A radar level transmitter is an easy-to-use device that measures liquid levels in tanks and vessels. Here's what you need to know:
How It Works:
Sends out microwave signals (like a mini radar)
Measures how long it takes for the signal to bounce back
Calculates the exact liquid level
Why Choose Radar?
✔ Works without touching the liquid
✔ Gives accurate readings (±1-3mm)
✔ Handles tough conditions (heat, pressure, dust)
✔ Lasts for years with little maintenance
Where It's Used:
• Chemical plants
• Oil storage tanks
• Food processing
• Water treatment
Picking the Right One:
For clean liquids: 26GHz models
For sticky or foamy liquids: 80GHz models
For big tanks: Long-range versions
Installation Tips:
Point the antenna straight down
Keep it away from pipes or mixers
Check connections are tight
Simple Maintenance:
• Wipe the antenna clean every few months
• Check for damage after extreme weather
• Recalibrate once a year
Problem? Try This:
If readings jump around: Clean the antenna
If no signal: Check power supply
If numbers seem wrong: Verify settings
Good to Know:
Modern radar units can connect to your control system and send data to your phone or computer.
