KROHNE Optiwave 1500 Series 80 GHz Radar Level Transmitter for Basic Applications
The OPTIWAVE 15XX series is a range of four reasonably priced non-contact level transmitters that use FMCW radar technology. The device housing and antenna are made of PVDF, which is compatible with almost all common products. They can operate at temperatures from -25 to +80°C / -13 to +176°F and pressures from -1 to 5 bar / -14.5 to 75.2 psi. Operating in a frequency range around 80 GHz and with a frequency sweep of 4 GHz, these devices can measure with a high signal resolution. They comply with NAMUR Recommendation NE 107 for status and error handling and enhanced diagnostic functions are available using either the OPTICHECK Level Mobile app or a DTM for PACTware that are both supplied free of charge.
