Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use!1. INTRODUCTIONApplicationThe PiloTREK W-100 non-contact microwave level transmittersprovide the most advanced, new generation measurement techniqueof the industrial process automation field. PiloTREK is an idealsolution of high precision level transmitting of liquids, slurries,dollops, emulsions and other chemicals in a wide range of applicationarea, such as food industry, energy industry, pharmaceuticalindustry, chemical industry, and even in naval applications with mmaccuracy range and high measuring stability.PiloTREK is able to provide an excellent non-contact measurementsolution for those substances which tend to steam, or for liquids witha gas layer. Since there is no need for a defined propagation mediumin the case of microwaves, the PiloTREK is applicable in vacuum.Operation principleThe reflection of the emitted microwave impulses is considerably depending on therelative dielectric constant of the measured medium. The essential condition ofmicrowave level measurement is that the relative dielectric constant (εr) of themedium should be more than 1.9.The operation of the non-contact microwave level transmitters is based on themeasurement of the time of flight of the reflected signals, so-called Time DomainReflectometry (TDR) method.The propagation speed of microwave impulses is practically the same in air, gasesand in vacuum, independently from the process temperature and pressure, so themeasured distance is not affected by the physical parameters of medium to bemeasured.PiloTREK level transmitter is a Pulse Burst Radar operating at 24 GHz (K-band)microwave frequency.The 24 GHz models’ most noticeable advantage over the lower frequency(5-12 GHz) radars are the smaller antenna size, the better focusing, lowerdead-band and smaller transmission angle.The level transmitter induces few nanosecond length microwave impulses in theantenna and a part of the energy of the emitted signals reflects back from themeasurement surface depending on the measured media. The time of flight of thereflected signal is measured and processed by the electronics, and then this isconverted to distance, level or volume proportional data.wes1404a0600p_01 ♦ 5 / 44
