Contact Radar Level Sensor | Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter
Details:
Contact Radar Level Sensor, also known as guided wave radar level transmitter, adopts contact measuring principle. It delivers steady detection for liquid level and solid bulk materials. Strong anti-interference performance enables it to effectively resist disturbance caused by steam, surface foam and medium stirring. Measurement results remain stable without being affected by fluctuations of ambient conditions. Model XYRD9010 is equipped with stainless steel cable antenna, featuring outstanding cost performance and extensive applicability. It is ideal for horizontal tanks, water pools and confined installation spaces, with simple field installation and reliable operation. Besides this standard model, we supply alternative specifications to match diverse working conditions.

Why Choose Contact Radar Level Sensor

 

Non-contact radar may encounter measurement deviation when facing foam, vapor and agitated medium. Contact radar level sensor transmits microwave signals along the probe, which greatly suppresses external interference and acquires consistent, repeatable level data. Different from many conventional level instruments, its measurement performance is barely affected by medium density, temperature variation and pressure changes. It supports both liquid and solid particle measurement, realizing unified monitoring for multiple working media. The XYRD9010 cable antenna version boasts compact structure and easy mounting, perfectly fitting equipment with limited installation height such as horizontal storage tanks and water basins. Users can select two-wire standard output or customized four-wire version as required. If the cable probe cannot adapt to specific medium or tank structure, other probe types and alternative models are available for selection to satisfy complex industrial site requirements. With high measuring accuracy and IP67 protection grade, this guided wave radar maintains long-term stable operation in harsh industrial environments. It reduces frequent calibration work and lowers overall operation maintenance cost for enterprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q1: What is the difference between contact radar level sensor and non-contact radar level transmitter?

A: Contact guided wave radar transmits microwave along the probe, stronger anti-interference against foam, steam and medium agitation. Non-contact radar relies on air propagation of microwave and is more susceptible to surface medium disturbance. Contact type is more recommended for complex working conditions with vapor and foam.

Q2: Is the stainless steel cable antenna suitable for all media?

A: The stainless steel cable antenna version XYRD9010 is primarily developed for liquid measurement. For corrosive medium, high-viscosity fluid or solid materials with strong adhesion, we can provide alternative probe materials and other model solutions.

Q3: Can this guided wave radar be used in explosion hazardous areas?

A: Yes. The instrument supports Ex IIC T6 Gb explosion-proof standard, which meets the deployment requirements for most flammable liquid processing sites.

Q4: What communication modes are available for data transmission?

A: Two-wire 4-20mA HART serves as standard configuration. Four-wire output and RS-485 Modbus protocol can be customized according to your control system requirements.

Q5: If 30m measuring range cannot meet my demand, can other models be selected?

A: This page introduces XYRD9010 with maximum 30m measuring range. We supply multiple guided wave radar models with different probe structures and measuring ranges. Submit your process parameters, and our engineers will recommend matched products.

Q6: Does the instrument require regular maintenance after installation?

A: Under normal working conditions, long-term stable operation can be realized with minimal maintenance. If the medium is easy to scale or adhere to the antenna, periodic inspection and cleaning of the probe are suggested to guarantee measuring precision.
