Product Description

Function and Measurement System: Unlock the power of precision with the Advanced Guided Wave Radar Level Gauge, engineered to provide unmatched accuracy in granular material measurement, ensuring seamless operations and outstanding reliability.
Measuring Principle: Experience cutting-edge technology with our guided wave radar level gauge, which leverages the innovative Time of Flight principle to deliver precise and consistent measurements tailored to your industrial needs.
The MGS series of guided wave radar level meters are advanced "top-down" measuring instruments utilizing the Time of Flight (Time of Flight) principle. High-frequency pulse signals are emitted to the probe and propagate along it. Upon encountering the material surface, they reflect, returning along the probe to be received by the instrument. Through our unique equivalent sampling technology, the time difference between emission and reception of the pulse is expertly converted into the distance from the instrument reference point (the connection point of the instrument's process) to the material surface. This sophisticated calculation determines the level using the TDR Time Domain Reflectometry (Time Domain Reflectometry) method.

Import: Enhance your processes with our premium guided wave radar technology, imported to boost efficiency and accuracy in your measurements.
The echo pulse signal travels from the probe to the instrument's electronic unit, where the microprocessor performs a meticulous analysis to differentiate the true level echo signal. Intelligent software ensures accurate echo signal identification. The measurement distance D correlates directly to the pulse travel time t: D = c * t / 2, where c represents the speed of light. With the known empty tank height E, the precise level L can be calculated as L = E - D. Refer to the figure on the right for the empty tank height E reference point.


Output: Achieve seamless integration with our flexible output capabilities, delivering precise measurements adapted to real-world conditions for optimal performance.
Based on field conditions, configure the empty tank height (zero point), full tank height (full scale), and application parameters for the instrument to automatically adapt to the current measurement application. With user-defined range settings, the corresponding output of 4~20mA is established, facilitating effective communication via 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: Advanced technology minimizes blind zones and extends measurement distances, optimizing performance in various scenarios.

	min	max
Cable probe	1	20	0.2	0.25
Pole probe	0.5	4	0.2	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.

Measuring Condition
• Measurement Range Insights: Begin your measurement journey from the tank's bottom beam contact point. Note that in disc-bottom tanks or conical discharge port designs, levels below this point remain unmeasured.
• Dielectric Considerations: For media with low dielectric constants (Class A and B), if the medium is low (as shown in figure C), the tank bottom is visible, affecting accuracy. Set the zero measurement point away from the tank bottom at position C to enhance precision.
• Theoretical Range: Stretching to the end of the instrument antenna, consider corrosion and adhesion effects. Maintain a minimum distance A from the measurement range end to the antenna's top, especially in condensation-prone settings.
Minimum Measurement Range: B is determined by the chosen antenna type (refer to the table below for guidance).
Tank Requirements: Ensure your tank's diameter exceeds D and its height is at least H, as detailed in the table below for optimal measurement conditions.
