Non-contact level measurement

Non-contact level measurement

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical details about a radar sensor designed for non-contact level measurement in both open and closed containers. It highlights the sensor's precision, measuring capabilities, and integration with IT systems for remote monitoring.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Range: 0.01 to 10 meters
  • Measuring Accuracy: ±2 mm
  • Measuring Principle: Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) at 80 GHz
  • Protection Rating: IP69K
Features:
  • Non-contact measurement eliminates issues from deposits or wear.
  • Direct measurement capability or through non-metallic walls.
  • Remote sensor parameter setting and level monitoring via IT system connection.
  • Suitable for use in environments with steam or condensate.
  • Can be used outside closed metal tanks with an antenna extension.
Applications:
  • Storage tanks
  • Plastic containers
  • Outside use
  • Flow rate measurement in Venturi flumes (e.g., Parshall, Khafagi-Venturi)
Additional Tools:
  • moneo|RTM: Analysis software for simple condition monitoring.
  • moneo|blue: Smartphone app for managing IO-Link devices.
Connectivity: The sensor includes an IO-Link interface for parameter setting on a PC.
Ordering Information: Order number LW2120 with options for 2 switching outputs or 1 switching and 1 analogue output (4...20 mA).
Note: Technical alterations may occur without prior notice.

Non-contact level measurement-2

2 switching outputs or 1 switching and 1 analogue output 4...20 mA LW2120 Precise measurement on open and closed tanks and containers The LW2120 radar level sensor measures levels of liquid media up to 10 metres precisely and without blind areas. The 80 GHz frequency used ensures stable and precise measurement results, even in the presence of steam or condensate in the tank for example. With the antenna extension, available as an accessory, the sensor may also be used outside closed metal tanks, for example on open tubs. The radar measuring system can also penetrate through non-metallic walls,...
