Optiwave 6300 C radar level sensor

The Optiwave 6300 C radar level sensor accurately measures the level of powder, granulates, and bulk solids in silos, hoppers, and bulk storage containers, and on conveyor belts. Its versatile design makes it suitable for a variety of industries, such as minerals and mining, food, chemicals, pulp and paper, and power. Because the innovative drop shape of the plastic antenna generates a smaller beam angle (2 deg.) than conventional antennas, an antenna aiming kit to amplify the reflected signal is unnecessary. The unique drop shape also prevents crusting on the antenna, which makes the sensor ideal for dusty applications. Users can choose a 3-in.-dia. (DN 80) antenna made of polypropylene (PP) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, or Teflon) or a 6-in. (DN150) PP antenna. Conventional stainless steel horn antennas up to 6 in. in diameter (DN 150), with a built-in horn purging feature, are also available. The Quick Set-up wizard and a comprehensive help function simplify startup. A large screen with a four-button keypad makes navigation easy, and the wizard displays information in nine languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. ATEX, FM, and CSA certifications are pending.
