Sitrans LR 460 radar level transmitter from Siemens Energy & Automation Inc. for measurements in difficult solids level applications features 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave technology and the company’s Process Intelligence echo processing software. It is intended for solids applications containing extreme dust, high temperatures, and long ranges to 218 ft (100 m). Virtually any solid medium can be measured. New antenna system designed for low loss and improved gain increases the signal-to-noise ratio an additional 20 dB over the previous LR 400 model, enabling detection of very low dielectric constant materials at low ranges.
