90 Series Radar Level Meter

I. Product Overview
This series of radar level meter adopts 26G high frequency
radar sensor, its maximum measurement range can reach
up to 70 meters. The new fast microprocessors have higher
speed and efficiency, it also can do signal analysis, the
instrumentation can be used for reactor, solid silo and very
complex measurement environment.

● Principle
Radar level meter’s antenna microwave pulse is narrow and its direction is
downward. Microwave exposure to the medium surface then reflected back.
While antenna system receives microwave, it will send the signal to electronic
circuit automatically and convert it into level signals (because the microwave
propagation speed, electromagnetic wave to reach the target and the reflected
back to the receiver this time is almost instantaneous).

Datum measurement: Screw the thread or fix the sealing surface of the flange.
Note: Make sure the radar level meter the highest level wouldn't enter the
measuring blind area (Figure D shown below).

● The Characteristics of 26G Radar Level Meter:

II. Installation Requirements


2.1 Illustration

2
90 Series Radar Level Meter

Note:
The reference surface for measurement: the bottom surface of the thread or
the sealing surface of the flange.
When using radar level meter, make sure that the highest material level cannot
enter the blind area of the measurement (the area shown in D (Blind Area) in
the figure).
When setting the range parameter, be sure to include the height of the conical
part of the tank (refer to A in the figure).

2.2 Installation Requirement

Installed at 1/4 or 1/6 of the


diameter away from tank wall.

Note: The minimum distance from


the tank wall should be 200mm.

Note: ① Datum plane


② The center of the container or
symmetrical

3
90 Series Radar Level Meter

The top plane of the conical


tank can be installed in the middle of
the tank top, It is guaranteed to
measure to the bottom of the cone.

When there is a stock in tank,


the antenna should be vertically aligned
with the material surface.
If the material level is uneven, level
meter installation direction must be
adjusted by universal flange.
The angle of the horn makes the horn
aim at the material surface as much as
possible. (Because the inclined solid
surface will cause echo attenuation,
Even the problem of signal loss)

Stir
When there is stirring in the tank, keep
the meter away from the stirrer if
necessary. After installation, "false echo
learning" should be carried out under
agitation,
In order to eliminate the false echo
effect generated by the stirring blade. If
foam or waves rise due to stirring, the
installation should use wave guide pipe.

4
90 Series Radar Level Meter

False echo storage

When there is a stirring blade in the tank that interferes with the radar
measurement, if the stirring blade cannot be avoided, a false return is
required.
Wave storage eliminates interference signals generated by false waves.

If you want to get the normal level echo, the false echo storage can store the
echo signal between the envelope curve in the figure below, the storage is
defined as a false signal, and a normal level echo signal is obtained.

5
90 Series Radar Level Meter

Guide wave pipe installation

Use guide wave pipe installation (guide wave


pipe or by-pass pipe), can avoid obstacles and
foam influence.
Due to feeding, mixing or other process
handlings in container, it will generate foam on
the surface so signal will be attenuate.
If bubbles caused measurement errors, should
install the sensor in the guide wave pipe, oruse
guided wave radar level meter.
Measuring inside the guide wave pipe, the
guide wave minimum diameter is 50mm.
In the connection guide wave pipe, should
avoid big cracks and welding. In addition, carry
out "virtual False echo learning".

Note: while measure adhesive medium, should


not use guide wave pipe.

Design requirements for guide wave pipe

● Metal material, smooth inside the tube;


● Preferably stretched or longitudinal welded stainless steel pipe;
● The weld must be as flat as possible and coaxial with the hole;
● While using pre-welded flanges or extending the sleeves and using a ball
valve, the transition pipe must be aligned on the inside and fix after accurate
matching;
● The gap on the transition pipe is ≤0.1mm;
● Do not weld along the pipe wall. The inner wall of the guide wave pipe must
remain flat and smooth. If user accidentally weld the inside, you should
remove the uneven places and weld bead. Otherwise it will cause serious
interference echo, so as to bring convenience to the attachment of the
medium;
6
90 Series Radar Level Meter

●Guide wave pipe must reach at


least the desired minimum filling
height because the measurement
can only be carried out in the tube;
●Aperture ≤5mm, any number single
side or full pass;
●The antenna diameter of the sensor
should be as consistent as possible
with the inner diameter of the pipe;
●The diameter should be consistent
throughout the length;

Typical wrong installation:

The conical tank cannot be installed above the


inlet.At the same time: when installing outdoors,
user should take sun-shading and rain-proof
measures

① Correct ② Wrong

The meter cannot be installed in


the middle of an arched or round tank
top. In addition to generate indirect echo,
but also influenced by the echo, multiple
echoes may be larger than the signal
threshold of true echoes, because they
can be concentrated through the top.
Therefore, it cannot be installed in the
central location.
① Correct ② Wrong
7
90 Series Radar Level Meter

When there are obstacles in the tank that affect the measurement, it
is necessary to install a reflecting plate to measure normally.

●Adapter height requirements: it needs guarantee that the antenna


extends into the tank at least 10mm.

90 Series Radar Level Meter

III. Electrical Connection


● Supply Voltage

Cable Requirements
The power supply cable can use ordinary two-core cable, and the outer
diameter of the cable should be (8~12)mm to ensure the sealing of the cable
entrance. Should use shielded cable if there has electromagnetic interference.

(4~20) mA /HART (two wire system)


The power supply and output current signal same two-core shielded cable.
Refer to technical data for specific power supply voltage range. For intrinsic
safety type, a safety barrier must be added between the power supply and the
instrument.

(4~20) mA /HART (four wire system)


The power supply and the current signal are separated, refer to technical data
for specific power supply voltage range, a two- core shielded cable is used for
each one.

RS485/Modbus
Separate the power supply and the 485 signal line using a two-core shielded
cable. For the specific power supply voltage range, refer to the technical data.

● Connection Type
The wiring diagram of 24V two-wire system as below:

90 Series Radar Level Meter

● Safety Guidance

Please comply with the requirements of local electrical installation regulations!


Please abide by local regulations and requirements for personnel health and
safety. All operations on the electrical components of the instrument must be
completed by formal trained professionals.
Please check the nameplate of the meter to ensure that the product
specifications meet your requirements. Please make sure that the power
supply voltage is consistent with the requirements in the nameplate.

● Protection Class

This instrument fully meets the requirements of protection class IP66/67.


Please ensure the waterproof of the cable sealing head. Such as the following
figure:

How to ensure that the installation meets the


requirements of Ip67:
Make sure that the sealing head is not
damaged. Make sure that the cable is not
damaged.
Make sure that the cable meets the
requirements of the electrical connection
specifications.
Before entering the electrical interface, bend
the cable downward to ensure water will not
flow into the shell, see ①
Please tighten the cable sealing head, see ②
Please block the unused electrical interface
with blind plug, see ③

IV. Debugging
● Three debugging methods:

setting, it requires stronger effective echo range, it is much better to eliminate


small signal noise interference, but need to notice: if change threshold value
larger than effective echo amplitude, it will result in misunderstanding. This
menu including echo threshold and envelope level, the default amplitude of
echo threshold is 60mV, default value of envelop is 5mV.
