Description
The ILT free-beam radar level sensor enables non-contact level measurement, even through plastic vessel walls.
The free-beam radar for level measurement emits electromagnetic waves that are reflected by the surface of the material to be measured. The reflected signals are received and analysed, providing information about the fill level. Up to two additional switch points can be integrated to enable further switching outputs, e.g. for overflow and/or dry run protection.
Thanks to its compact design and easy handling, the model ILT radar sensor is ideal for measuring applications in industrial environments and in mobile working machines. It has been prepared for the requirements of mobile working machines and offers high-precision measurements at temperatures of -40 ... +150 °C [-40 ... +302 °F].
Thanks to metal shielding, the sensor operates, interference-free, at field strengths of up to 100 V/m and remains reliable even with vibrations of up to 40g and shocks of up to 100g. The model ILT is particularly safe in operation, even under difficult conditions such as dust, moisture and heat. The non-contact measuring principle, combined with its maintenance-free design, ensures low total cost of ownership.
