YLR806-A5 26G radar level transmitter
Wherever the Wave Reaches · Under Control — The Intelligent Eye for Liquid Level Measurement in Complex Conditions
The 26G Radar Level Transmitter is an advanced level measurement instrument utilizing high-frequency frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar technology. Its core functionality involves emitting microwave signals up to 26GHz, which are reflected back upon contacting the material surface. By calculating the frequency difference between the transmitted and received signals, it precisely determines the distance from the antenna to the material surface, thereby establishing the level height. The high frequency enables a narrower beam angle, more concentrated energy, and superior interference resistance. These characteristics allow it to effortlessly handle complex operating conditions such as dust, steam, and foam, delivering continuous, stable, and reliable precision measurements. It is the preferred upgrade choice to replace traditional guided wave radar and ultrasonic level transmitters.
Product Advantages
The core value of the 26 GHz radar level gauge lies in its comprehensive performance enhancement enabled by “high-frequency” technology, perfectly addressing the pain points of traditional measurement methods.
1. Narrow Beam Angle, Strong Anti-Interference Capability: With an extremely small beam angle (typically ≤4°), energy is concentrated, effectively avoiding interference from tank obstacles (such as ladders, heating coils, and feed ports). This simplifies installation and ensures stable measurement.
2. Exceptional Dust and Vapor Penetration: Its high-frequency, short-wavelength characteristics maintain signal strength even in heavy dust or dense vapor conditions, effectively overcoming false echoes. Measurement reliability significantly outperforms low-frequency radar and ultrasonic systems.
3. Exceptional Measurement Accuracy: Utilizing FMCW technology, it achieves measurement accuracy of ±2mm. Even in large storage tanks, it delivers millimeter-level level measurement precision, meeting requirements for trade measurement and precise control.
4. Non-Contact Measurement, Maintenance-Free: The measurement process avoids contact with the medium, completely eliminating issues like corrosion, adhesion, and wear. It offers a long service life and truly achieves maintenance-free operation, reducing total cost of ownership.
5. Intelligent Echo Processing and Diagnostics: Built-in powerful echo processing software automatically identifies and locks onto true material echoes while effectively suppressing false echoes. Self-diagnostic capabilities provide early warnings for issues like antenna contamination or instrument malfunctions.
6. Safe, Eco-Friendly, and Versatile: Non-contact measurement ensures zero process contamination, meeting sanitary requirements. No process penetration is required, offering intrinsic safety for use in explosion-proof zones (Ex ia/ib).
