ProScan Series
Technical Data
ProScan Series PP, PTFE Level Radar Transmitter
Measurement principle
The ProScan Series transmitter measures the liquid level inside the tank or
sump by using an all plastic (PP or PTFE) antenna or horn that sends and
receives low energy radar pulses. The sensor is mounted to the top of
the tank and the pulsed signal is reflected off the liquid surface, the echo
IP67 (returned signal) is then picked up or received by the transmitters
Housing
antenna. The time it takes is compared to known laws of physics (speed of
light), once this is done the distance can be determined, and very
accurately measured.
Distance =(Speed of Light x Time Delay)/2
The ProScan Series does not contact the process liquid and therefore is an
1½" NPT
150# excellent choice for applications that may be corrosive, coating, dirty, or
Ansi Flange crystallizing. The are temperature compensated over the entire range
(-40-260°F) and can be used on to measure liquid under pressure or
PTFE
vacuum.
PP
(Teflon®) The ProScan Series is both reliable and accurate; there is no requirement
for re-calibration, and virtually zero maintenance as there are no moving
parts.
The ProScan Series utilizes a special microprocessor technology and
mapping software that allows it to be used where other non-contact level
sensing products fail or go lost i.e. Ultrasonic's. Heavy Foam, Heavy Vapor.
