OVERVIEW

What it does and why it is built this way

The LV-120 is an 80 GHz frequency-modulated radar. Its narrow beam passes close to tank walls and agitators and returns a clean echo even from low-dielectric liquids.

An encapsulated PTFE lens makes it immune to condensate, so it replaces ultrasonic and contacting sensors in corrosive vessels.

KEY FEATURES

3° beam angle for cluttered tanks

Reads through vapour, dust and temperature swings

Bluetooth commissioning from a phone

  1. A radar chirp is transmitted downward.
  2. The echo returns from the product surface.
  3. The frequency offset between sent and returned signal is proportional to distance, and so to level.
