Product Description
Working principle
Guided wave radar transmitter works on the principle of time and travel (TDR). Radar wave
travels at the velocity of light. The flying time is converted into level signal via the electronic
components. The probe emits high frequency wave pulse which travels along a cable probe
or a rod probe. When the wave pulse reaches the medium surface, it will be reflected and
received by the receiver, and then the distance signal will be converted into level signals.
Input
The reflected wave pulse travels back along the
cable and arrives at the electronic unit. The
microprocessor will process the signals and
recognize the returned waves from medium
surface. The identification of correct return wave
signals can be done by the intelligent software. The
distance D from the medium surface is proportional to the
travel time: D=C X T/2 (C is velocity of light)
Due to the empty tank distance D is known, and then the level L is: L=E-D
Output
By setting of empty tank height E as zero point, the height of full tank F as full range point, and
other applicable parameter, the instrument will adapt into the working environment
automatically and correspond to output 4-20mA.

Dead zone at bottom refers to the distance which cannot be measured accurately nearby the
bottom of the cable.
The distance between the dead zone at the top and the dead zone at the bottom is the effective
measuring distance.
Note:
Level measurement in a tank can be effectively performed only when the medium level within the
top dead zone and the bottom dead zone.

Product description
WKRD53 series transmitters are 26GHz high-frequency radar level transmitters with
analog signals 4-20mA, the Max. Measuring distance is up to 70m. The antenna has been
further optimized, and the latest update microprocessor can make higher speed signals
analysis, which enables the level transmitters can be used in very complicated measuring
applications such as reaction kettles or solid bunkers.
Working principle
The radar level transmitter antenna emits narrower micro wave pulses which will
be transmitted via the antenna. The micro wave will be reflected back after
touching the surface of a medium, and then antenna system will receive it and
transmit it into the electrical circuit, which will be automatically turned into the level
signals.
A. Setting measuring range
B. Low level adjustment
C. High level adjustment
D. Dead zone
Page No.12
Measuring reference is the bottom surface of threads or the sealing surface of a flange.
Note: when using the radar level
transmitter, must keep the highest level of
medium out of the dead zone (see area D
shown i n the drawing).
Features
Ÿ Non contact measuring, no abrasion, no contamination
Ÿ Shorter wave length, which can get better reflection for the inclined solid surface.
Ÿ Smaller measuring dead zone, which can get better measuring results for small tanks.
Ÿ Smaller beam angle, which makes the energy be more concentrated, enhancing the wave
reflection ability which can keep signals more powerful to avoid obstacles
Ÿ Almost unaffected by corrosion and foams.
Ÿ Almost unaffected by changes of steam, changes of temperature and pressure in the air.
Ÿ Even in heavy dust environment, the transmitter can also receive the real level return wave.
Ÿ High SNR, which can make the instrument get better performance.
Ÿ Frequency 26GHz is the best option for measuring solid and low dielectric constant medium.
