Product Description

Function and Measurement System
Measuring Principle
The distinguished MGS series guided wave radar level meters, an epitome of precision, are ingeniously engineered as "top-down" measuring instruments. These devices leverage the Time of Flight (ToF) principle, propelling high-frequency pulse signals along their probe. When these signals meet the material surface, they are exquisitely reflected back to the instrument. Harnessing cutting-edge equivalent sampling technology, these meters adeptly convert the pulse's emission-reception time difference into a precise distance measurement from the instrument's reference point to the material surface. This sophisticated method is celebrated as TDR Time Domain Reflectometry, ensuring meticulous level calculation.

Import
From the probe, the echo pulse signal embarks on a journey to the instrument's electronic unit, where a microprocessor, brimming with intelligence, meticulously analyzes the signal to discern the genuine level echo. This complex identification is seamlessly executed by advanced software. The formula for measurement distance D, derived from the pulse's travel time t, is D=c * t / 2, with c being the speed of light. Given the established empty tank height E, the level L is deftly calculated as L = E - D. The reference point for E is elegantly depicted in the accompanying figure.


Output
In alignment with specific field conditions, parameters such as the empty tank height (zero point) and full tank height (full scale) are configured to empower the instrument's adaptability to unique measurement applications. The user's specified range sets the corresponding 4~20mA output. Additionally, seamless communication with HART protocol enhances multifaceted interactions.

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.

Measuring Condition Insights: Understand the parameters and conditions under which your transmitter will operate optimally.
• Measurement Conditions: The range initiates from where the beam intersects the tank bottom. Note that measurements below this point are not feasible, especially in disc-bottom tanks or those with conical discharge ports.
• Measurement Accuracy: For media with low dielectric constants (Class A & B), low-level conditions can expose the tank bottom, impacting accuracy. Setting the zero point at position C, away from the tank bottom, is recommended for optimal results.
• Theoretical Measurement Range: This can extend to the antenna's end. However, factors like corrosion and adhesion necessitate a safe distance, at least A, between the range's end and the antenna top, particularly during condensation.
Minimum Measurement Range: Range B is influenced by the selected antenna type. Refer to the table below for detailed specifications.
Tank Specifications: Ensure the tank's diameter exceeds D, and its height is at least H, as specified in the table for optimal transmitter performance.

· Gas Phase Influence: Understand how the presence of steam and high pressure can impact signal transmission speed, especially in low-temperature settings, and how it affects measurement accuracy.
Steam and High Pressure Effects: When steam blankets the liquid surface, signal speed is reduced, especially under high pressure or low temperatures. This can increase measurement error as the zero point (flange) to material surface distance grows.
