SmartLine Non Contact Radar Level Transmitters
Product Overview :
The SmartLine SLN700 Series Non-Contact Radar Level Transmitters utilize 80 GHz FMCW radar technology to provide highly accurate and reliable level measurements for both liquid and solid materials. Designed for process tanks, storage tanks, mobile containers, and bulk solid silos, these transmitters offer best-in-class performance while minimizing maintenance and operational costs.
Key Features :
- Non-Contact Measurement – Ensures minimal wear and reduces maintenance needs.
- Wide Measurement Range – Measures liquids up to 30m and solids up to 120m.
- Advanced Signal Processing – Intelligent false echo detection enhances accuracy.
- Encapsulated Antenna Design – Suitable for narrow tank installations.
- Modular Design – Shared components reduce inventory and improve flexibility.
- Seamless Integration – Works with Experion® PKS and other control systems.
- Local Configuration & Display – On-device buttons and display enable quick setup and adjustments.
How It Works :
The SmartLine SLN700 utilizes 80 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology:
- A radar wave is continuously emitted at a specific frequency range.
- The wave travels through air and reflects off the liquid or solid surface.
- The return wave is received and analyzed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms.
- The frequency difference between the emitted and received wave is processed to calculate the exact level.
Benefits :
- Eliminates costly application errors with high-accuracy measurement.
- Reduces downtime with non-contact technology, eliminating mechanical wear.
- Minimizes spare parts inventory due to a modular design.
- Enhanced security with protection against unauthorized access.
- More accurate than traditional technologies such as capacitance, hydrostatic, and ultrasonic level sensors.
