PRODUCT FEATURES 1

1.1 The 2-wire radar solution

This device is a non-contact Radar (FMCW) level meter for distance, level and volume measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. It gives a more robust and reliable measurement than pulse radar systems and is well suited to agitated process conditions. The device can operate at process temperatures up to +250C / +480F if a version with HT (hightemperature) distances pieces is ordered.

PRODUCT FEATURES 1

1.2 Applications
1. Level measurement of liquids in storage tanks
The level transmitter can measure the level of a wide range of liquid products on a large variety of installations, including LPG and LNG tanks. It does not require calibration or commissioning when installed. It can measure nearly any liquid within the stated pressure and temperature range, and distances up to 30 m / 98 ft.

2. Level measurement of liquids in process tanks

The level transmitter can measure level accurately under process conditions, such as near to vortexes caused by small agitators, and also where foam is present.

3. Level measurement in horizontal cylinders and spherical tanks

BM 702 A is able to measure the level in horizontal cylinders and spherical tanks. In this case the use of a stilling well or a Wave-Guide antenna is positively recommended to avoid multiple reflections.

1 PRODUCT FEATURES

BM 702 A

4. Measurement of liquids in a bypass chamber

If the tank is full of obstructions such as agitators and reinforcements, we recommend installing the radar level transmitter in a bypass chamber or a stilling well. This solution is also available from us under the name BM 26 W. The BM 26 W combines the BM 26 A with the radar level transmitter. The device includes a permanent, local indication without a power supply. Please refer to the BM 26 W documentation for further information.

5. Measurement of corrosive liquids with a Wave-Stick antenna

The Wave-Stick antenna option combines a relatively small radar beam for more precise measurement and a shape that avoids product buildup. If the tank contains corrosive liquids such as acids and alkaline solutions, we recommend the Wave-Stick antenna with the PTFE or PP flange plate option.

6. Measurement with curved antenna extensions for difficult applications

Rectangular and S-shaped antenna extensions are available for particularly difficult application conditions. These extensions are used in cases where the antenna is exposed to high temperatures and where there are problems with space (e.g. around tank internals; positioning the antenna out of the centre of symmetry; mounting the signal converter on the side of the tank).

PRODUCT FEATURES 1

1.3 Measuring principle

A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected on 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 df is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A large frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency difference f is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between tank height and measuring distance.

Horizontal cylindrical tanks If the device:

is for a horizontal cylindrical tank, is in a metallic tank, measures a product with a high dielectric constant and is on the centerline of the tank,

we recommend that you install it in a stilling well.

Figure 3-7: Horizontal cylindrical tanks 1 The device is installed without a stilling well. There are multiple reflections. Refer to the CAUTION! that follows. 2 The device is installed in a stilling well and measures correctly.

If the device is installed in horizontal cylindrical tank that contains a high dielectric constant liquid without a stilling well, do not put it on the tank centerline. This will cause multiple reflections and the device will not measure accurately. Use the multiple reflections function in menu 3.0 Installation > 3.5 Application > 3.5.5 Multip. Refl. to keep the effect of multiple reflections to a minimum. For more data, refer to "Function description" in the handbook.

INSTALLATION 3

3.4.3 Bypass chambers

Install a bypass chamber next to the tank if:
There is highly conductive foam in the tank. The liquid is very turbulent or agitated. There are too many obstacles in the tank.

Figure 3-8: Installation recommendations for bypass chambers 1 Bypass chamber 2 Clearance between the antenna and the wall of the stilling well < 5 mm / 0.2" 3 Sudden change in well diameter < 1 mm / 0.04"

Installation requirements
The bypass chamber must be electrically conductive. The inside diameter of the bypass chamber must not be more than 10 mm / 0.4" over the

diameter of the antenna. The bypass chamber must be straight. The bypass chamber must have a surface roughness of 0.1 mm / 0.004". There must be no sudden changes in internal diameter greater than 1 mm / 0.04".

Installation next to tanks containing one liquid and foam

The top process connection of the bypass chamber must be above the maximum level of liquid. The bottom process connection of the bypass chamber must be below the lowest measured level of liquid.

Installation next to tanks containing more than one liquid

The top process connection of the bypass chamber must be above the maximum level of liquid. The bottom process connection of the bypass chamber must be below the lowest measured level of liquid. Additional process connections are necessary for the liquids to circulate freely along the length of the bypass chamber. These additional process connections must be separated by a distance equal to or less than the minimum level of the bottom liquid.

3.5 How to keep false reflections to a minimum

If there are false reflections, the device will not measure correctly.

False reflections are caused by:

Objects in the tank. Sharp corners that are perpendicular to the path of the beam. Sudden changes in tank diameter in the path of the beam. If there are too many obstacles in the path of the radar beam, do an empty spectrum scan. Alternatively, install the device on a bypass chamber or stilling well.
