The Series GWB Guided Wave Radar Transmitter for Solids is a level transmitter
providing an analog and switching output (4 to 20 mA as well as a NC SPST switch output)
to provide continuous level indication of powder and bulk material. The sensor can output
level indication as a continuous measurement reading through its analog output, or it can
alter that information into freely adjustable switching output signals. State-of-the-art Time
Domain Reflectometry technology in this transmitter makes for excellent accuracy and
stability. Suppression of disturbance signals allows the GWB to measure precisely even
when operating close to interfering structures. This series is available with either a rigid
or flexible probe depending on the application installation required, as well as a custom
probe length. One of the GWB characteristics is virtually no installation restrictions making
it ideal for small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles, and various other types of processing and
storage applications.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The GWB senses low-energy, high-frequency electromagnetic impulses, produced
by the sensor which are transmitted along the probe immersed in the fluid to be
measured. When these impulses hit the surface of the liquid, part of the impulse
energy is reflected back up the probe to the senor which then utilizes the time
difference between the impulses sent and the impulses reflected to determine the
fluid level.
