Measuring Principle

4

Measuring Principle

The device is a "downward-looking" measuring system, which functions according

to the time-offlight (ToF) method. It measures the distance from the reference point R

to the product surface. Radar pulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product

surface and received again by the radar system.

Level (L = E - D)

Reference point

Flow rate at measuring weirs or channels (calculated from the level using linearization)

The reflected radar pulses are received by the antenna and transmitted to the electronics.

A microprocessor evaluates the signals and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection

of the radar pulses at the product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits

from over 30 years' experience with time-of-flight procedures.

The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the pulse:

D = c x t/2,

where c is the speed of light.

Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:

The device is calibrated by entering the empty distance E (= zero point) and the full distance

F (= span).

• Current output: 4 to 20 mA

• Digital output (P+F Level): 0 to 8 m (0 to 26 foot) or 0 to 12 m (0 to 39 foot) in connection

with mounted flooding protection tube accessory.

Measuring Range

Maximum measuring range

The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.

The level is calculated based on E, the empty distance entered.

• Device with 40 mm (1.5 inch) antenna: 8 m (26 foot)

• Device with 40 mm (1.5 inch) antenna and with mounted flooding protection tube

accessory: 12 m (39 foot)

Installation requirements

• Recommended tank height > 1.5 m (5 foot) for media with low εr value

• Open channel minimum width 0.5 m (1.6 foot)

• Calm surfaces

• No agitators

• No buildup

• Relative dielectric constant εr > 4

Contact Pepperl+Fuchs for lower εr values

Usable measuring range

The usable measuring range depends on the antenna size, the medium's reflective properties,

the installation position and any possible interference reflections.

Media groups

•

•

εr = 4 to 10

e. g. concentrated acid, organic solvents, ester, aniline, alcohol, acetone.

εr > 10

e. g. conductive liquids, aqueous solutions, diluted acids and bases

Reduction of the maximum possible measuring range by:

• Media with bad reflective properties (= low εr value)

• Formation of buildup, particularly of moist products

• Strong condensation

• Foam generation

• Freezing of sensor

Operating Frequency

K-band (~ 26 GHz)

Transmission Power

Mean power density in the direction of the beam

• At a distance of 1 m (3.3 foot): < 12 nW/cm2

• At a distance of 5 m (16 foot): < 0.4 nW/cm2

Installation position on a vessel

If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge projects into the vessel.

•

• Recommended distance A wall – nozzle outer edge: ~ 1/6 of the vessel diameter D.

Under no circumstances should the device be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 inch)

to the vessel wall.

• Do not install the sensor in the middle of the vessel.

• Avoid measurements through the filling curtain.

• Avoid equipment such as limit switches, temperature sensors, baffles, heating coils etc.

• No signals are evaluated within the Blocking distance (BD). It can therefore be used

to suppress interference signals (e. g. the effects of condensate) in the vicinity

of the antenna.

An automatic Blocking distance of at least 0.1 m (0.33 foot) is configured as standard.

However, this can be overwritten manually (0 m (0 foot) is also permitted).

Automatic calculation:

Blocking distance = Empty calibration – Full calibration – 0.2 m (0.656 foot).

Each time a new entry is made in the Empty calibration parameter or Full calibration

parameter, the Blocking distance parameter is recalculated automatically using

this formula.

If the result of the calculation is a value < 0.1 m (0.33 foot), the Blocking distance

of 0.1 m (0.33 foot) will continue to be used.

The flooding protection tube ensures the sensor measures the maximum level even

if it is completely flooded.

In free-field installations and/or in applications where there is a risk of flooding,

the flooding protection tube must be used.

The tube is screwed directly onto the sensor and seals off the system by means of an O-ring

making it air-tight. In the event of flooding, the air pocket that formed in the tube ensures

the measurement of the maximum level at the end of the tube. Due to the fact that the blocking

Measuring principle

4

Measuring principle

The device is a "downward-looking" measuring system, which functions according to the time-

offlight (ToF) method. It measures the distance from the reference point R to the product

surface. Radar pulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and

received again by the radar system.

Level (L = E - D)

Reference point

Flow rate at measuring weirs or channels (calculated from the level using linearization)

The reflected radar pulses are received by the antenna and transmitted to the electronics.

A microprocessor evaluates the signals and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection

of the radar pulses at the product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits

from over 30 years' experience with time-of-flight procedures.

The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the pulse:

D = c x t/2,

where c is the speed of light.

Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:

The device is calibrated by entering the empty distance E (= zero point) and the full distance

F (= span).

• Current output: 4 to 20 mA

• Digital output (HART, P+F Level): 0 to 15 m (0 to 49 foot) or 0 to 20 m (0 to 66 foot)

depending on antenna version

Measured Variable

5.2

Measuring Range

The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.

The level is calculated based on E, the empty distance entered.

Maximum measuring range

• Device with 40 mm (1.5 inch) antenna: 15 m (49 foot)

• Device with 80 mm (3 inch) antenna: 20 m (66 foot)

Installation requirements

• Recommended tank height > 1.5 m (5 foot) for media with low εr value

• Open channel minimum width 0.5 m (1.6 foot)

• Calm surfaces

• No agitators

• No buildup

• Relative dielectric constant εr > 4

Contact Pepperl+Fuchs for lower εr values

Usable measuring range

The usable measuring range depends on the antenna size, the medium's reflective properties,

the installation position and any possible interference reflections.

Media groups

•

•

εr = 4 to 10

e. g. concentrated acid, organic solvents, ester, aniline, alcohol, acetone.

εr > 10

e. g. conductive liquids, aqueous solutions, diluted acids and bases

Reduction of the maximum possible measuring range by:

• Media with bad reflective properties (= low εr value)

• Formation of buildup, particularly of moist products

• Strong condensation

• Foam generation

• Freezing of sensor

Operating Frequency

K-band (~ 26 GHz)

Transmission Power

Figure 10.2

Installation position on a vessel

If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge projects into the vessel.

•

• Recommended distance A wall – nozzle outer edge: ~ 1/6 of the vessel diameter D.

Under no circumstances should the device be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 inch)

to the vessel wall.

• Do not install the sensor in the middle of the vessel.

• Avoid measurements through the filling curtain.

• Avoid equipment such as limit switches, temperature sensors, baffles, heating coils etc.

• No signals are evaluated within the Blocking distance (BD). It can therefore be used

to suppress interference signals (e. g. the effects of condensate) in the vicinity

of the antenna.

An automatic Blocking distance of at least 0.1 m (0.33 foot) is configured as standard.

However, this can be overwritten manually (0 m (0 foot) is also permitted).

Automatic calculation:

Blocking distance = Empty calibration – Full calibration – 0.2 m (0.656 foot).

Each time a new entry is made in the Empty calibration parameter or Full calibration

parameter, the Blocking distance parameter is recalculated automatically using

this formula.

If the result of the calculation is a value < 0.1 m (0.33 foot), the Blocking distance

of 0.1 m (0.33 foot) will continue to be used.

Free-field measurement with flooding protection tube

The flooding protection tube ensures the sensor measures the maximum level even

if it is completely flooded.

In free-field installations and/or in applications where there is a risk of flooding,

the flooding protection tube must be used.

The flooding protection tube can be ordered as an accessory or together with the device

The tube is screwed directly onto the sensor and seals off the system by means of an O-ring

making it air-tight. In the event of flooding, the air pocket that formed in the tube ensures

the measurement of the maximum level at the end of the tube. Due to the fact that the blocking

distance is inside the tube, multiple echoes are not analyzed.

Pressure Equipment

Pressure equipment with allowable pressure  200 bar (2900 psi)

Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing

do not fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum

allowable pressure.

Reasons:

According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined

as "devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".

If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure

chamber of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the

Directive.
