Description

BinMaster’s CNCR series of compact non-contact radars uses 80 GHz narrow beam technology for accurate measurement of simple and aggressive liquids. They are easy to setup using Bluetooth on a phone and then send level measurement data to BinView software, a local display, or a PLC. The sensors offer a measuring range up to 98 feet and install in existing vessel openings or non-intrusively when measuring levels in plastic vessels.

How CNCR Level Sensors Work

Compact Non-Contact Radars transmit a continuous 80 GHz radar signal through the face of the antenna. The signal is reflected off the material surface and received as an echo by the antenna. The frequency difference between the sent and received signals is converted to a measurement that represents the distance to the material surface. The distance is calculated based upon the vessel height programmed into the unit when it is set up. Setup can be performed without the vessel being emptied to save time. The measurement output is the distance from the face of the antenna to the material surface. Measurements are displayed in inches, feet, or meters.

80 GHz Technology

The CNCR family of radar level sensors is an alternative to using ultrasonic sensors or pressure transmitters to measure liquid levels contained in tanks or open-air applications. These sensors utilize 80 GHz technology that narrowly focuses the radar signal in an eight-degree beam angle. This technology is extremely reliable in condensation, turbulence, and foam. The narrow beam can be used in confined vessels or standpipes and aimed to avoid pipes or structure that could interfere with the signal. Compact Non-Contact Radars deliver extremely high measurement accuracy of +/-0 .2 inches. Measurements are not affected by changing process conditions such as fluctuating temperature or pressure.
