Products overview:

ZWRD701 seriesThe cabling guided wave radar level gaugeUsing the advanced radar pulse wave measurement technology, with its excellent performance, especially in the bath jar stirring, temperature is high, the steam is big, strong corrosive medium, bad measurement conditions, such as easy to scarring shows its excellent performance, playing an increasingly important role in industrial production.Can be installed on a variety of metals, non-metallic, container or the pipe for liquid, paste, and granular material level for non-contact continuous measurement.Applicable to the dust, change of temperature, pressure, and presence of inert gas and steam.

Second, the working principle:

ZWRD701 series cable type guided wave radar level meter is the measuring instrument based on the principle of time travel, very low energy is emitted by a very short microwave pulse by transmitting and receiving antenna system.Radar wave are running at the speed of light.Running time can be transformed into material level signal by electronic parts.Probe a high-frequency pulse and probe the conduction along the cable type or rod type, when the pulse in the material surface reflected by the receiver inside the instrument, and the distance signal is transformed into material level signal.A special type of time extension method can guarantee the stability of a very short period of time and accurate measurement.Even if the condition is relatively complex, false echo, with a new micro processing technology and debug software can accurately analyze the level of the echo.

1, the input:

Reflection of the pulse signal along the cable type or bar type probe to the instrument electronic circuit part, microprocessor to signal processing, identify the microwave pulse produced by the echo in the material surface.Correct echo signal recognition by intelligent software to complete, distance material on the surface of the distance D is proportional to the pulse of time travel T: D = C * T / 2 where C is the speed of light because of the distance of the empty cans E known, the level of L: L = E - D;

2, the output:

By entering empty cans height E (= zero), full tank height F (= full scale) and some applications to set parameters, application parameters will be automatically adapt instrument to measure the environment.Corresponding to the four...20 ma output;

3, measuring range:

F - measurement range;E - empty cans distance;B - the top blind area;H - probe zui small distance to the tank wall at the top of the blind area zui high material refers to material surface and measuring zui small distance between the reference point.At the bottom of the blind area is located near the bottom of the cable zui unable to accurately measure the distance.At the top of the blind area and at the bottom of the blind area is effective measuring distance between;

4, note: only the material between the top blind area and at the bottom of the blind area, to guarantee the reliable tank level measurement.

Seven, installation instructions:

The following installation instructions applicable to bar type probe and cable type, tubular type probe measurement has nothing to do with the installation.

Location:

1, the distance of tank wall advice 1/6 - a quarter of the tank diameter (at least 300 mm, concrete tank at least 400 mm).

2, do not install in the middle of the metal cans;

3, don't pack the material mouth;

4, when choosing the length of the probe, pay attention to the bottom of the probe from the tank bottom is about more than 30 mm;

5, pay attention to the medium temperature.

Tank obstacles:

1, pay attention to when installation probe at least 200 mm away from the obstacle.

Remove interference:

1, clutter echo suppression: the software can realize the interference echo suppression, so as to achieve the ideal measurement effect;

2, the by-pass pipe and guided wave tube (only applicable to liquid) for viscosity don't play in the 500 CST, can adopt by-pass pipe, guided wave tube or pipe to avoid interference.

Liquid standard installation:

For 500 CST or less and not easy to produce the adhesive medium viscosity, tubular probe is an ideal scheme, its characteristics are as follows:

The reliability of the excellence;

1, can be used in any medium, dielectric constant is greater than or equal to 1.4 measurement has nothing to do with the conductivity of medium;

2, tank obstruction and short tube size does not affect the measurement;

3, than bar type probe can withstand the lateral pressure is high;

4, for the high viscosity of the medium, it is suggested that using bar type probe.

Lie the tank and the installation of vertical tank:

1, tube type probe and bar type probe can be more than 6 meters to 6 meters for measuring distance of tank, can choose 8 mm cable type probe;

2, installation and fixed measuring method with solid powder storehouse;

3, to the distance from the tank wall unlimited, as long as avoiding probe contact tank wall;

4, if the tank obstacles more or too close to the ground rod, please choose tube type probe.

Corrosive medium measurement:

1, if the corrosive medium, can choose lever probe sets a plastic casing was measured.

Eight, the debugging method:

Through debugging in three ways:

1, by displaying the adjustment module PM;

2, through debugging software SOFT;

3, handheld programmer by HART.

Through the SOFT software debugging:

No matter the signal output, 4-20 ma/HART, radar sensors can be through the software debugging.Is instrument with the SOFT software debugging, need a meter CONNECTCAT drives.

Using software debugging, for the radar instrument 24 VDC power up, at the same time connect HART adapter front end with a resistance of 250 ohms.If the one-piece HART resistance (250 ohm internal resistance) of electricity meter, there is no need for additional external resistance, HART adapter can and 4...20 ma line in parallel.

Nine, environmental impact factors are:

1, the influence of the obstacles.

If the launch of the electromagnetic wave instrument comes into contact with the barrier, then you'll get a jamming waveform.If you can't choose other ideal installation location, choose the small beam Angle instrument or using guided wave tube and by-pass pipe installations can be solve the problem.

2, the influence of the transmission medium

(1) the temperature;

(2) pressure;

(3) the transmission medium corrosion resistance;

(4) whether the transmission medium contains steam or dust, etc.;

(5) the volatiles in the environment with crystallization or dust adhesion problems.

To solve the above problem, then we will guarantee, electromagnetic waves or ultrasonic arrived in material surface under test, no big attenuation.Measured on the surface of the material through reflection, get a echo signal.The strength of the echo signal and the measured material surface under state.

1, the dielectric constant of the measured substance or hardness.

The strength of the dielectric constant influence the electromagnetic wave reflection.The echo of the dielectric constant, the greater the stronger.While the hardness is reflection of sound waves.The greater the hardness, the stronger the sound wave reflection.

2, on the surface of the material being tested pile Angle;

3, on the surface of the material being tested stability;

4, particle degree of the measured object and loose;

The analyte 5, moist degree.

Ten, notable matters of installation:

Guided wave radar can correctly measure, depends on the reflected wave signal.If the installation position, the surface electromagnetic wave can not be reflected back to the radar antenna or on signal wave of distractors worldwide reflection
