ISEN-RD800 series Radar Level Transmitter
Description
SEN-RD800 series, a state-of-the-art Radar Level Transmitter designed for precise and reliable continuous level measurement in a wide array of industrial applications. This advanced Radar Level Transmitter utilizes 76-81GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, offering superior performance, particularly in high-dust, high-temperature, and solid-level applications.
Superior Technology for Demanding Applications
The ISEN-RD800 series Radar Level Transmitter operates with a high 76-81GHz frequency and a short wavelength, making it exceptionally suitable for solid applications and environments with high dust or harsh temperatures up to +200°C. Its innovative lens-based electromagnetic wave transmission and reception system provides unique advantages in these demanding conditions.
Key advantages of this Radar Level Transmitter include:
- Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Built on a self-developed CMOS millimeter wave RF chip, the transmitter features a more compact RF architecture, leading to a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
- High Measurement Resolution and Accuracy: A 5GHz working bandwidth enables the Radar Level Transmitter to achieve higher measurement resolution and an impressive accuracy of ±1mm.
- Minimized Interference: A narrow antenna beam angle of just 3° significantly minimizes environmental interference, ensuring high measurement focus and ease of installation.
- Optimal for Solids: The shorter wavelength ensures better reflection characteristics on solid surfaces, often eliminating the need for a universal flange for aiming.
- Versatile Measurement Range: Various models offer a maximum measurement range of up to 120m, with a minimal blind area of just 10cm, accommodating diverse application needs.
Robust Design and Flexible Integration
The ISEN-RD800 Radar Level Transmitter is engineered for durability and ease of use.
- Construction: Available with aluminum alloy or stainless steel housing and a lens antenna, with options for an antenna shield, anti-corrosion antenna, antenna cooling paste, or quartz isolation flange.
- Installation: Offers convenient flange or thread fixing modes for straightforward installation.
- Protection: Boasts an IP67 protection grade, ensuring resilience in industrial settings.
- Power and Communication: Supports both 2-wire (18-28.0VDC) and 4-wire (18-28.0VDC or 220VAC) systems with output options including 4–20mA or RS485, and communication protocols such as HART or MODBUS.
Intelligent Operational Features
This Radar Level Transmitter is equipped with a user-friendly interface and advanced operational capabilities:
- Clear Display and Intuitive Controls: Features a 128×64 dot matrix display with four keys for navigating through Run Mode, Echo Mode, History Curve Interface, Setup Mode, and Input Mode.
- False Echo Suppression: The “False Echo Learning” function allows the system to learn and screen out false echoes from known obstacles within the container, forming a background noise screening curve for more accurate readings. An example shows how setting an auto false echo suppression range (e.g., 2-4m) helps in distinguishing the material echo from false echoes.
- Adjustable Damping Time: To enhance output stability, the damping time can be set (e.g., 0-100 seconds, default 5s), allowing the Radar Level Transmitter to smooth out fluctuations and improve anti-interference capability.
- Comprehensive Parameter Setting: Users can configure various parameters through Basic, Advanced, Service, and Display settings menus. This includes high/low position adjustment, range setting, blind zone setting, media type (solid/liquid), container type, and more.
- Echo Monitoring: The echo curve interface displays echo conditions, with a strong metal reflector typically showing around 220dB. Echo intensity below 70dB may require troubleshooting.
Installation Best Practices
To ensure optimal performance of the Radar Level Transmitter:
- The instrument should be aimed at the target material level, ensuring vertical incidence.
- Avoid false echoes by ensuring no interfering objects like ladders or steps are within the beam range.
- The antenna beam should avoid the feed inlet.
- Install the transmitter at least 20cm away from the vessel wall to prevent incorrect readings.
- For conical containers, the beam should be directed towards the tank bottom as much as possible.
