Problems with the setup of radar level transmitters
Thread Content
I have 10 tanks here, and the level gauges on top of these tanks are used ones; the brand is from Cologne, Germany, and the model is OPTIFLEX1300C-L. I’ve entered the height of the tanks, as well as the height and diameter of the waveguide, but why isn’t the display reading zero? The tanks are empty, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Please advise me, experts.
Calculate and re-enter the height of the waveguide. What is the radar’s dead zone? Is the waveguide installed vertically correctly? If it is installed properly and set up correctly, a reading that is not exactly zero is acceptable. If the deviation is large, there is a problem with the installation or your settings.
After I made the settings, the display on the gauge showed values such as 0.01m, 0.02m, and so on, but none of them were zero.
This should work. If you want it to be 0, you can reduce the waveguide value by 0.01, or adjust it by measuring the height
Such a small value can be considered a measurement error; let’s transfer it from the instrument side or the DCS side.
At least give it some margin of error, will you?
The display on the liquid level transmitter at the site shows 0.086 m, while the DCS shows 0.000 m. Why is this?
Almost there – where did you get the tank height data you entered? When the tank is empty, the radar can measure its height on its own, and the measurement taken by the radar is more accurate.
