Problems with the installation of radar level gauges

2017-08-26View Original

Thread Content

The installation port of the level gauge is long and thin, while the flared end is short and large; it does not extend deep enough into the measurement tank, and it is difficult to disassemble and assemble. Is it feasible to use a shorting extension now? What impact does it have on the transmitted signal?

Was this short tube fabricated by yourself, or did it come from the manufacturer? Also, you mentioned that the nozzle cannot be extended. Could you let me know roughly how much the difference is? If the difference isn’t too large, it might be possible to avoid the resulting interference through software configuration; however, this will need to be tested after installation. If you fabricated that short tube by yourself, I wouldn’t recommend installing it; it’s better to consult the manufacturer. I think the manufacturer won’t allow you to do that either. However, if the manufacturer provides support, or if you can use software to adjust it, then you can give it a try by installing it

Provided by the manufacturer; what software is used for configuration?

It’s fine as long as it’s provided by the manufacturer; it just shouldn’t be something given to you by a middleman. Configuration requires software, right? What brand is this? Ask them – is it possible to do it without software using on-site buttons?

1. As can be seen from the diagram, the short tube added to the antenna should come pre-installed, which means your antenna is of an extended type. 2. Software with filtering functions can only be obtained from the manufacturer. Alternatively, use HART settings for debugging, paying attention to dead zones and range. If the table itself has a filtering function, then the HAR controller can be set. 3. Record the model of the instrument, look up the meaning of each letter, and this will help determine whether a waveguide is required for the radar level gauge, as well as parameters such as installation dimensions and antenna length!

When initially selecting a level gauge, it is recommended to use guided wave rod radar or guided wave cable radar for more stable measurements.

The manufacturer’s included extension tube accessories will do; this type of extension tube is designed for situations like yours

It depends on the radar’s emission angle. It should be possible
