Product Description

Function and Measurement System
Measuring Principle
The MGS series of guided wave radar level meters employ an innovative 'top-down' measuring technique rooted in the Time of Flight principle. With high-frequency pulse signals emitted along a probe, these signals interact dynamically with the material surface. Upon contact, they reflect back to the instrument. Our unique equivalent sampling technology then ingeniously converts the time gap between emission and reception of these pulse signals into a precise distance from the instrument's reference point to the material surface. This process accurately determines the level using TDR Time Domain Reflectometry, ensuring unparalleled precision.

Signal Import
The echo pulse signal is meticulously transmitted from the probe to the electronic unit where the microprocessor conducts an expert analysis of the received signal. Tasked with identifying the true level echo signal, our intelligent software handles this with precision. The travel time t of the pulse directly correlates to the measurement distance D: D=c * t / 2--, where c represents the speed of light. Knowing the empty tank height E allows for the level L calculation: L = E - D--. Refer to the figure on the right for the empty tank height E reference point.


Output Configuration
Tailored to adapt to the specific field conditions, the instrument settings include adjustments for the zero point of an empty tank, the full scale of a full tank, and application parameters. This customization ensures seamless adaptation to current measurement applications. Based on user-defined range settings, the output is expertly calibrated between 4~20mA. Additionally, communication can be conducted through the HART protocol, ensuring efficient and streamlined processes.

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 Conditions: Tailor your setup to suit the environment with precision.
• Precision Measurement Start: Our system's range begins precisely where the beam makes contact with the tank bottom, ensuring utmost accuracy. In particular configurations, such as disc-bottom tanks or conical discharge ports, measurements below this point are not feasible.
• Dielectric Constant Considerations: For Class A and Class B media with a low dielectric constant, the tank bottom becomes visible at lower levels. Measurements in this range may compromise accuracy, hence it is advisable to set the zero point above this level for best results, as illustrated in the accompanying figure.
• Optimal Measurement Range: Theoretically, our system's measurement range spans up to the instrument antenna's end. To counteract corrosion and adhesion effects, it's necessary to maintain a minimum distance A from the antenna top during measurement, especially in condensation-prone scenarios.
Minimal Measurement Range: The minimum measurement range, denoted as B, is contingent on the chosen antenna type. Refer to the table below for detailed specifications.
Tank Specifications: For optimal performance, ensure the tank diameter exceeds D and the height is at least H, as listed in the subsequent table.

· Gas Phase Influence: Understand the implications of gas phases on measurement efficiency.
Impact of Steam: When steam covers the liquid surface, particularly under high pressure, the signal's speed diminishes. This effect, influenced by steam type, is most pronounced in low-temperature settings. As the distance from the zero point (flange) to the material surface increases, so does the measurement error, as detailed in the accompanying table.
