OPTIWAVE 5200

OPTIWAVE 5200

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in storage and process applications

Continuous, non-contact level measurement in storage and process tanks
10 GHz radar, Horn and Wave Horn antennas
Measuring range: 0…30 m / 98 ft
-60…+250°C / -76…+482°F; -1…40 barg / -14.5…580 psig (higher on request)

The OPTIWAVE 5200 is a 2-wire 10 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids, pastes and slurries. It is particularly suited for continuous, non-contact level measurement in storage or process tanks with small process connections or where it is difficult to access the tank roof (remote version recommended).

The OPTIWAVE 5200 is SIL2-compliant according to IEC 61508-2 for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Its PP or PTFE Wave Horn antenna options make it ideal for measuring the level of corrosive liquids. Additional ease of use comes from the quick coupling system which permits 360° rotation of the housing or its removal under process conditions

Typical applications

General

Level measurement in storage and process tanks:
with difficult access to the tank roof (remote version)
where readings are eased by horizontal or vertical housing positions
in hazardous areas with temperatures up to +250°C / +482°F
where FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA communication is required
Standard applications or applications with corrosive products where a cost-effective solution is required
Converter replacement in applications using the previous KROHNE BM 70x generation of level transmitters (e.g. BM 702 A)
