Kaidi KD-806 6GHz Intelligent Radar Level Meter 20+ Years Experience

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

6GHz intelligent series radar level meter is suitable for non-contact continuous measurement of level of liquid, slurry, granule and lump material, suitable for temperature and pressure changes; occasions where inert gas and volatilization exist.

It adopts the measurement method of microwave pulse, and can work normally in the industrial frequency band range. Low beam energy, can be installed in a variety of metal, non-metallic containers or pipes, no harm to human body and the environment.

THE PRODUCT PRINCIPLE

Very short microwave pulses with very low energy are transmitted and received through the antenna system. The radar wave travels at the speed of light. The running time can be converted into a level signal by means of electronic components. A special time-stretching method ensures stable and accurate measurements in a very short time. Even in the case of complex conditions and spurious echoes, the level echoes can be accurately analyzed using microprocessor technology and commissioning software.

The antenna receives the reflected microwave pulses and transmits them to the electronics. The microprocessor processes this signal and identifies the echoes generated by the micropulses on the material surface. The correct identification of the echo signal is done by the pulse software with an accuracy of millimeters.

The distance D from the material surface is proportional to the time travel T of the pulse: D=C×T/2; where C is the speed of light. Since the distance E from the empty tank is known, the level L is: L = E - D.

It is set by entering the empty tank height E (=zero), full tank height F (=full range) and some application parameters, which will automatically adapt the instrument to the measurement environment. Corresponds to 4-20mA output.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Recommended location (2), the tank wall to the outer wall of the installation short pipe should meet the following requirements: the best distance from the tank wall is 1/4 or 1/6 of the tank diameter, the minimum installation distance from the tank wall is 1/10 of the measurement range. for example: 10m level tank, the minimum installation distance from the tank wall should be 1m.

● Cannot be installed above the inlet (4)

● It cannot be installed in the center (3). If it is installed in the center, multiple false echoes will be generated and the interference echoes will cause the real signal to be lost.

● If the distance between the instrument and the tank wall cannot be maintained, the medium on the tank wall will adhere to cause false echoes, and false echoes should be stored during the commissioning of the instrument.
