Due to the physical measurement principle of ultrasonic instruments, their propagation time varies greatly with factors such as temperature, solar radiation, and gas composition. Even thick fog, strong winds, and rain can suppress sound waves and further limit the measurement range. However, radar instruments are not affected by temperature fluctuations, high pressure, or vacuum, and can provide accurate readings under all environmental conditions.
As a result, VEGA has expanded its VEGAPULS radar series with a new generation of compact continuous liquid level measuring instruments. The new radar instrument series is also based on 80GHz technology. Due to the newly developed microchip, it has the characteristics of small size and low energy consumption, greatly reducing costs and comparable in price to ultrasonic instruments. This makes it more suitable for applications in price sensitive industries, such as in the water/wastewater industry or in measurement applications in process automation auxiliary systems.
VEGA's new economical product series adheres to the advantages of radar technology and effectively solves the numerous defects and deficiencies of ultrasonic technology!
Not affected by the process and environment
In the application of water and wastewater industry, liquid level measuring instruments are often exposed to various harsh environments in nature. For example, when monitoring river water levels, VEGA's new radar instrument is not affected by temperature fluctuations even in environments with strong solar radiation. Even at a height of 30 meters from the water surface, the instrument can provide readings accurate to millimeters.
Not affected by blind spots and flooding
In the process of water treatment, flooding often occurs in certain situations, and it is necessary to install mechanical waterproof protective sleeves for ultrasonic instruments. However, these components are prone to fouling, which affects the reliability of the measurement. And radar instruments have no blind spots, no need for protective covers, and can reliably measure even when submerged.
Not affected by dirt, dust, and condensation
In many liquid level measurement applications, instruments need to constantly resist sedimentation. For example, when using ultrasonic instruments, sediment can affect the reliability of measurement signals and lead to the expansion of blind spots. The situation with radar technology is very different! Due to its optimized signal processing, radar instruments can suppress interference caused by dirt on the antenna system. In addition, radar instruments are not sensitive to dirt and pollution, so they do not need to be cleaned.
High reliability and accuracy
Due to the powerful signal focusing capability of 80GHz technology, the radar beam can be precisely aimed at the medium under test. Therefore, even in narrow shafts or on container walls such as pipes or pumps with attachments, interference signals will not be generated. Compared to ultrasonic instruments, there is no need to suppress interference signals.
Wireless operation, easy installation and debugging, safe!
When developing new economical instrument series, the focus is also on the convenience of installation and operation, so that all application parameters can be quickly set. With the VEGA Tools App application, any user can wirelessly connect to their smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth for quick and secure instrument setup and operation. With just a few simple steps, reliable and accurate liquid level readings can be obtained. Whether in harsh environments or explosion-proof areas, it is possible to set parameters, display and diagnose up to 25 meters away, saving time and improving safety.
