Level Measurement
OPTIWAVE 1540
Brand:
Krohne
Radar level transmitter for basic applications with liquid chemicals and open-channel flow
- Cost-effective non-contact level measurement in IBCs, chemical tanks (up to 5 bar / 72.5 psi), (waste)water applications with high accuracy requirements
- Compact and robust 80 GHz radar with flush-mounted PVDF Lens antenna; display or waterproof (IP68) version also available; for use as level and flow transmitter
- Measuring range: 0…15 m / 49.2 ft
- 2-wire 4…20 mA HART®7; user-friendly commissioning via Bluetooth® using the OPTICHECK Level Mobile app
- Economical and compact level solution for applications with high accuracy requirements (±2 mm / ±0.08 in)
- Highly flexible: can be easily adapted to different applications by way of another quick device set-up
- Robust PVDF housing, also available with display or as an IP68-rated waterproof version designed to withstand heavy rainfall and flooding events for several days
- PVDF Lens antenna in DN40 / 1½"
- Virtually no dead zone
- Small beam angle of 8° for reliable level measurement in narrow tanks and channels
- Antenna material is chemically resistant to a wide range of products
- Totalizer functionality for volume and flow rate monitoring, e.g. for open-channel applications
- Extremely high dynamics for reliable level measurement also in the event of condensation or agitated surfaces
- TBM (Tank Bottom Management) ensures reliable measurement even in empty tanks
- Dedicated algorithms to filter and compensate for irregular radar wave reflections that occur at tank bottom when the vessel is empty
- Allows for quick and easy commissioning of tanks regardless of their size, material or geometry
- User-friendly device installation and set-up, easy commissioning possible without prior knowledge
