Radar - Import export

The radar sensors of the QT50 and Q120 series can be used under almost all environmental and climatic conditions. They use FMCW technology (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) to detect stationary and moving objects, such as cranes, cars, trains, trucks and cargo.

The OPTIFLEX 1100 is a guided radar level transmitter based on the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology. It is designed for basic storage applications in non-hazardous areas. The level transmitter is a higher performing replacement for traditional level transmitters such as RF capacitance or conductive level transmitters. It offers 3 types of probes which can all be shorted on site.

For liquids in basic process applications The OPTIWAVE 5400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in basic process applications. It is particularly designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement in the chemical, petrochemical as well as oil and gas industry. It can be equipped with a PP Drop antenna for condensing atmospheres and corrosive media but features also Metallic Horn antennas. Due to its high dynamic range, the 24 GHz radar can measure distances up to 100 m / 328 ft.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids with hygienic requirements The OPTIWAVE 3500 is a 2-wire 80 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in hygienic applications. It is designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement in the food and beverage as well as pharmaceutical industry. The device features a flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna with a small beam angle and dead zone for precise measurement even in small and narrow tanks with agitators. It is equally suited for use on larger tanks up to measuring distances of 50 m / 164 ft. As the radar withstands process temperatures up to +150°C \ +302°F and pressures up to 25 barg / 362 psig, it can be used in CIP/SIP cleaning procedures. The OPTIWAVE 3500 offers a large choice of hygienic process connections. It comes with extensive device diagnostics as well as HART®7 communication.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for powders and dusty atmospheres The OPTIWAVE 6500 is a 2-wire 80 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for demanding applications with powders in very dusty atmospheres. With its small beam angle, this radar is particularly suited for continuous, non-contact level measurement in high and narrow silos, hoppers or buffer storage containers up to 100 m / 328 ft. Due to the high signal dynamics of the FMCW radar, the level transmitter is ideal for low-reflective media, dust, uneven surfaces or tanks with obstacles. As it features a flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna, there is no intrusion of the antenna into the tank.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for agitated and corrosive liquids The OPTIWAVE 7400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in harsh environments like tanks with agitators containing corrosive media. It is particularly designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement under extreme conditions prevalent in the chemical, petrochemical or oil and gas industry. The device features Metallic Horn antennas as well as PTFE and PEEK Drop antennas for measuring distances up to 100 m / 328 ft. The Drop antennas are perfectly suited for aggressive liquids in tanks. In applications with toxic and dangerous products, this radar device can be equipped with a Metaglas® second sealing barrier.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for solids from granulates to rocks The OPTIWAVE 6400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for basic applications with solids. This radar is designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement of stones, plastic granulates, coffee beans and other products in solids processing of various industries. The level transmitter features a Metallic Horn antenna as well as PP and PTFE Drop antennas. The Drop antenna design minimizes scaling and is unaffected by the angle of repose. Hence no need for expensive antenna aiming kits or purging systems.
