Higher signal dynamics for guided radar

November 2004 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration Products & Solutions

In contrast to earlier guided radar devices, the new Optiflex 1300 C from Krohne has higher signal dynamics thanks to its more advanced design. This means better and highly stable measurement. Despite disturbances such as strongly agitated surfaces, foam and coating of the probe or fine dust in the tank, Optiflex will continue to measure where other devices capitulate. The sharper pulses measure thinner interfaces (50 mm). The high time base stability offers better reproducibility.

Set-up wizard

Setting up a 2-wire level gauge consists of fitting the gauge to the tank, wiring it up and switching it on. In the next step Optiflex tests itself to make sure its electronics are working correctly. To define the tank and the product for measuring, the Optiflex Wizard walks the user through a simple series of questions. If uncertain, just wait for 10 seconds. After this time the help screen will appear and tell the user what to do next.

PACTware-ready

Each Optiflex is supplied ex-factory with the appropriate DTM. A DTM (device type manager) is a device driver making available the device functionality independent from the fieldbus protocol and providing a graphical user interface optimised for device operation and configuration.

Simple on-screen and intuitive set-up procedure for devices without a display, or for set up from the Central Control Room. Summarised set-up provides perfect control of initial input, and guarantees reliable results.

Various probe types cover all applications - Optiflex 1300 C is available with five different probes: single rod, double rod, single cable, double cable and coaxial - which means that Krohne is ready for any application.
