Product catalog summary

Overview
The TDR 6100 Guided Wave Level Radar is a versatile instrument designed for measuring levels of liquids, powders, and granules up to 35 meters. It is unaffected by environmental factors such as pressure, temperature, and viscosity, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Key Features

Measuring range up to 35 meters
24 VDC loop powered with 4-20mA output
Operates under pressure up to 40 Bar and temperatures up to 250°C
ATEX EEx d hazardous area approval
Multiple probe options made from 316 stainless steel
Accuracy of +/- 3mm for liquids and +/- 20mm for solids
Capable of measuring low dielectric products (Ɛr 1.1)

Operating Principle
The radar operates by sending low power microwave pulses along conductors. These pulses are reflected back when they meet the product surface, with the reflection intensity depending on the dielectric constant. The time between emission and reception is proportional to the distance.

Product Categories

Products with Dielectric Constant (Ɛr > 1.4): Operate in "Direct Mode" using the reflection from the product surface for level measurement.
Products with Low Dielectric Constant (Ɛr < 1.4): Use the "Tank Bottom Following" principle, where the wave passes through air and then the product, with the time difference indicating the product level.

The 6100 TDR guided radar is ideal for the measurement of liquids, powders and granules to a range of 35 metres. Unaffected by pressure, temperature, viscosity, vacuum, foam, dust, changes in dielectric constant or coating of the probe, the 6100 can measure virtually any product in either direct or TBF mode utilising any one of it's 6 probe types. Operating principle Pulses of low power microwaves are sent along conductors. At the point where the waves meet the product surface they are reflected back. The intensity of the reflection depends on the dielectric constant, the higher it is the stronger...
