Level sensor efector gwr - modular structure for
individual adaptation to the application
Essen, 01 June 2010 - Flexible and easy installation: the microwave
sensor efector gwr. The new units are distinguished by better
performance and extended application possibilities.
The three new versions of the tried-and-tested level sensor can be used
in aqueous media, coolants and cleaning solutions or oils. Thus they are
suitable for continuous level monitoring of almost all liquids. ifm electronic
offers the efector gwr with two (order no. LR700s) or four (order no.
LR8000) switching outputs or with switching and analogue output (order
no. LR3000).
The modular sensor system consists of the sensing head, the probe and
optionally the coaxial pipe. The microwave pulses are transmitted by the
sensor head and guided along the probe. If the microwave pulse hits the
medium to be detected, it is reflected and evaluated by the sensor. The
sensor is installed in the tank using a process connection or flange. The
user can shorten the probes and thus adapt them individually between
100 mm and 1600 mm. A coaxial pipe is required for the unit to function
correctly in low dielectric media.
Setting is done via a convenient parameter menu. The 4-digit
alphanumeric display shows permanently the current level.
