Product Description

Product Overview Product overview

The LRD-F21 series sensors are 80G frequency-modulated radar-based level measurement instruments capable of measuring distances up to 150 meters. The antenna has been further optimized, and a new, high-speed microprocessor enables faster signal analysis and processing, making these instruments suitable for measuring solid materials in challenging environments such as high temperature and high pressure. They are widely used across industries including chemical processing, metallurgy, water resources, coal mining, and petroleum.

Product Principle THE PRODUCT PRINCIPLE

The general principle of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar level meter is that the radar emits electromagnetic waves from the top of the tank. When these waves encounter the medium and reflect back, they are received by the radar. The frequency difference δf between the received signal and the transmitted signal is directly proportional to the distance R from the radar to the surface of the medium: R = C (speed of light) × δf (frequency difference) / 2 / K (frequency modulation slope). Since both the speed of light C and the frequency modulation slope K are known, once the frequency difference δf is calculated, the distance R—the height of the material surface relative to the radar installation point—can be determined. Finally, by subtracting this "empty space" distance (the space between the radar and the material surface) from the tank's total height, you can accurately calculate the actual material level inside the tank.

Installation Requirements INSTALLATION

When installing the instrument, avoid positioning it directly above the feed inlet, and try to keep it clear of any objects that could interfere with the signal, such as stirring paddles.

There must be no obstructions above the feed inlet or below the instrument.

Under extremely complex operating conditions, the instrument functions normally within a 20-cm-radius area centered on the radar installation point, provided there are no obstructions.
