Radar Level Transmitter

Radar Level Transmitter model SUPMEA WSR550 is the ultimate solution for overcoming high measurement inaccuracies when tracking liquid levels in horizontal tanks, such as fuel or chemical storage. Traditional horizontal tanks pose severe obstacles due to their dished ends and internal obstructions like agitators. In environments with heavy vapor or high pressure, conventional ultrasonic sensors often deliver highly unstable readings. Today, E-Power Service Co., Ltd. simplifies these complex challenges with our smart 80GHz high-frequency radar sensor, engineered to deliver maximum accuracy and stability under any field condition.

Why Choose the 80GHz Radar Level Transmitter (SUPMEA WSR550)?

The SUPMEA WSR550 Radar Level Transmitter is an innovative industrial instrument that bypasses the limitations of traditional level sensors with its superior features:

  • 80GHz High-Frequency Radar Technology: Emits an ultra-narrow 3° beam angle, focusing precisely on the liquid surface while drastically reducing false echoes caused by curved tank walls or internal components.
  • Ultimate Precision: Supports liquid level monitoring with a high accuracy of up to ±2 mm across a measuring range of 0 to 20 meters.
  • Heavy-Duty Environmental Durability: Operates flawlessly in process temperatures ranging from -40 to 80 °C. It holds an IP67 protection rating, making it perfect for outdoor environments and harsh industrial applications.
  • Hybrid Signal Output: Features dual-output capabilities supporting both standard analog 4-20mA and digital RS485 (Modbus RTU) in a single unit.

Installation Best Practices for Horizontal Tanks

According to industrial instrumentation mounting guidelines, positioning your Radar Level Transmitter correctly on a horizontal tank is critical for optimal performance:

  • Offset From Center Placement: Always install the transmitter at a calculated offset from the tank's center line (e.g., a 1.20 m offset on a 6.0 m long tank). This prevents the sensor from capturing intense false reflections off the curved 2:1 ellipsoidal tank heads.
  • Avoid Process Obstructions: Mount the device on a flat upper area of the tank, ensuring it is positioned well away from liquid inlets/outlets, internal agitator blades, and at least 300 mm from the tank wall.
  • Optimized Nozzle Height: Standard industrial flanges like DN80 (3") or DN100 (4") are highly recommended. Keep the nozzle neck as short as possible to prevent the nozzle structure from interfering with the radar signal.

Seamless Data Integration for Smart Factories

Data measured by the SUPMEA WSR550 can be effortlessly transmitted to automated control systems via Modbus RS485 signals. It integrates flawlessly with Haiwell Cloud SCADA V3.50 for cloud-based tank level monitoring or hooks into the Ecloud IoT Platform to log real-time sensor data straight into Google Sheets. This setup empowers engineers to track chemical or fuel inventories 24/7 and receive instant LINE alerts if tank levels breach safe limits.
