OPTIWAVE 6400 C PRODUCT FEATURES 1

1.4 Measuring principle


A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected from the product surface and received after a
time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave).

The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during
the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the
measuring surface and received with a time delay, t. Delay time, t=2d/c, where d is the distance
to the product surface and c is the speed of light in the gas above the product.

For further signal processing the difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmitted
frequency and the received frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A
large frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency
difference Δf is transformed via a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and
then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between
the tank height and the measured distance.

Measurement modes
"Direct" mode
The device uses the largest radar signal to monitor level.

"Direct Plus" mode


If it is possible there will be an interference signal in the measurement zone that is larger than
the level signal, select "Direct Plus" mode. If you select "Direct Plus" mode, the device locks on
the level signal and monitors changes in level. If the device then finds larger reflections in the
silo, it will only monitor the largest signal in a small search zone around the first reflection found
and ignore all other reflections. The interference signal must not be near to the level signal.

3.3.3 Mounting restrictions


LPR and TLPR devices
LPR (Level Probing Radar) devices measure level in the open air or in a closed space (a metallic
tank etc.). TLPR (Tank Level Probing Radar) devices measure level in a closed space only. You
can use LPR devices for TLPR applications. For more data, refer to Order code on page 36,
antenna options.

Causes of interference signals


• Objects in the tank or silo.
• Sharp corners that are perpendicular to the path of the radar beam.
• Sudden changes in tank diameter in the path of the radar beam.

Do not install the device above objects in the silo (ladder, supports etc.) or pit. Objects in the silo
or pit can cause interference signals. If there are interference signals, the device will not
measure correctly.
If it is not possible to install the device on another part of the silo or pit, do an empty spectrum
scan. For more data, refer to the handbook.

Equipment and obstacles: how to prevent measurement of interference signals


Do not put the device immediately above equipment and obstacles in a silo or pit. This can have
an effect on the performance of the device.

If possible, do not install a nozzle on the silo centerline.

Figure 3-4: Equipment and obstacles: how to prevent measurement of interference signals
1 Do not tilt the device more than 2°
2 We recommend that you do an empty spectrum recording if there are too many obstacles in the radar beam (refer to
the handbook).
3 Beam radius of the antenna: refer to the table below. The beam radius increases by increments of "x" mm for each
metre of distance from the antenna.
