5408

The non-contact radar level/level transmitter is a key instrument utilizing microwave technology for continuous, non-contact measurement of solid material or liquid surface height. It accurately and reliably remotely detects and measures the distance between the material/level in containers, tanks, or silos and a reference point (typically the meter mounting flange). The instrument emits microwave pulses (pulse radar) or frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW radar) signals through the antenna. After the signal propagates to the measured material surface and is reflected, the receiving antenna captures the echo. By precisely calculating the time difference (time domain reflectometry principle) or frequency

Industrial applications

The Rosemount™ 5408 non-contact radar level/level transmitter features enhanced technology and human-centered design for accurate and reliable measurement of liquids and solid materials. Deploying continuous echoes using two-wire Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and Smart Echo Supervision technology, it fully enhances radar signal strength for more robust and reliable measurements. Easy to use with an intuitive software interface guiding operators through installation, commissioning, verification testing, and maintenance. A powerful onboard diagnostic suite proactively monitors the transmitter.
