Product Description

Function and measurement system
Measuring Principle
The MGS Series of guided wave radar level meters are cutting-edge "top-down" measuring instruments that utilize the sophisticated Time of Flight (ToF) principle. High-frequency pulse signals are emitted towards the probe and travel along it. Upon encountering the material surface, these signals reflect and are then received back by the instrument. With unique equivalent sampling technology, the time interval between emission and reception is converted into the precise distance from the instrument's reference point (connection point of the instrument's process) to the material surface, thereby accurately calculating the level. This innovative measurement technique is known as TDR Time Domain Reflectometry.

Import
The echo pulse signal is meticulously transmitted from the probe to the instrument's electronic unit. Here, the microprocessor expertly analyzes the received signals to discern the true level echo. With the aid of intelligent software, the echo signal is identified accurately. The measured distance D is directly proportional to the time t taken by the pulse: D=c * t / 2, where c represents the speed of light. Utilizing the known empty tank height E, the level L is ingeniously calculated as L = E-D. Refer to the diagram on the right for the reference point of the empty tank height E.


Output
In tune with field conditions, parameters such as the height of the empty tank (zero point) and the height of the full tank (full scale) are set, allowing the instrument to seamlessly adapt to the current measurement scenario. Based on the user's range settings, a corresponding output of 4~20mA is configured. Communication is facilitated through the HART protocol.

explain	· Usually, cable probes are used to measure solid particles, and rod probes are only suitable for measuring light solid particles with good fluidity in small ranges (about 4m); · Rod or coaxial rod probes are usually used to measure small range of liquids. Cable probes are used to measure liquids with a range greater than 4m or in situations where rigid probes cannot be installed on the top space; · The coaxial rod probe can measure the viscosity of liquids up to 500cst, the coaxial rod probe can measure liquefied gas, the nozzle and the internal structure of the material tank have no effect on the measurement; · When used for measuring the material level of large bins, the cable probe should be equipped with a plastic sheath to maintain the seal and prevent the cable from breaking due to side pressure; · Corrosive media should be selected for corrosion protection; · When the measured medium is a very loose material, it can be classified as a class with low dielectric constant; · The maximum range of the instrument will be reduced due to the influence of working conditions, such as: very loose surface material, adhesion caused by wet medium.

Blind Zone and Measurement Distance: Expertly designed to deliver optimal measurement performance.

	min	max
Cable probe	1	20	0.2	0.25
Pole probe	0.5	4	0.2	0.05
Coaxial rod probe	0.5	3	0	0.05
explain: 1. The top blind area refers to the minimum distance between the highest material surface and the measurement reference point; 2. The bottom blind area refers to the distance near the bottom of the probe that cannot be measured accurately; 3. Effective measurement distance refers to the distance between the top blind zone and the bottom blind zone. Only when the material is within this distance can the reliable measurement of the material level be ensured.

Selection guide

· The MPS3300 Horn Antenna Pulse Radar is engineered for precision in challenging environments, excelling in the measurement of strongly corrosive and complex media. Ideal for diverse applications, it adeptly handles liquids, slurries, and more within storage or process containers. Perfect for water tanks, acid and alkali storage, slurry tanks, and beyond.1) For class A medium, the waveguide option (20m) is recommended for optimal performance.

· The MPS3700 series offers unparalleled versatility in solid level measurement across expansive process containers. Its adaptable antenna opening size makes it a reliable choice for measuring coke levels, slurry storage tanks, solid particles, and more.


Measuring condition
• The measurement range begins precisely where the radar beam contacts the tank bottom. Note: In disc-bottom or conical discharge tanks, levels below this contact point remain unmeasured, ensuring precision and reliability.
• For media with low dielectric constants (Class A and B), when the medium level is low, as depicted in figure C, visibility of the tank bottom may occur. This can impact measurement accuracy. To enhance precision, set the measurement zero point at position C, away from the tank bottom.
• Theoretically, the measurement range can extend to the very end of the instrument antenna. However, to mitigate corrosion and adhesion effects, maintain a minimum distance of A from the antenna's top, ensuring consistent accuracy, even amidst condensation.
Minimum measurement range B: This crucial parameter is directly linked to the selected antenna type, for detailed information, please refer to the table below.
For optimal performance, the tank diameter should exceed D, and its height should be no less than H, as illustrated in the accompanying table.

· Influence of gas phase
The presence of steam on the liquid surface can slow signal transmission under high pressure, particularly in cold environments. As the distance between the measurement zero point (flange) and material surface increases, so does the potential for measurement error-refer to the table for detailed error metrics.
