 21. Overview Microwave level meter measures level of bulk solids and liquids in the storage vessels without physical contact to measuring material. This model of level meter doesn't need separate output unit, which 4..20mA current output signal is carried by same two wires for power supply.  2. Measurement principle The level meter transmits microwaves at constant intervals, and receives echoes (reflection of transmitted waves) from the surface of material under measurement. The time difference between transmission and reception of microwave is processed by microcomputer to accurately determine level of stored materials.  3.

 8  6. Installation   6-1. Installation                           ・ If material surface enter to the blind sector, a stand pipe shall be used to ensure that material surface can not reach the blind sector of the level meter. But if the material surface will not enter the blind sector, then stand pipe should not be used. ・ If length of stand pipe is longer than required, such that antenna end is not protruded from stand pipe, then it causes malfunction of instrument. ・ When required stand pipe length is longer than antenna, please use cone shape stand and ensure radiation angle including the side beam. Keep radiation free of interference from the stand pipe.    【Recommended height of stand pipe】 Solid: The end of the horn antenna must be protruded a minimum of 10mm from the stand pipe. Liquid: The end of the antenna must be protruded a minimum of 25mm from the stand pipe.    【Calculation of radiation angle expansion】    Solid  :Distance from meas. reference point × tan16°+φ98 (Antenna diameter)     Solid :Distance from meas. reference point × tan28°+φ56 (Antenna diameter)   Liquid:Distance from meas. reference point × tan48°+φ45 (Antenna diameter)                Fig. 5.

 9    6-2. Installation precautions ・ Set the value of 100%(20mA) level so that the blind sector is secured. Setting the 100%(20mA) level within the blind sector will cause a malfunction of the instrument. ・ Avoid too long stand pipe to prevent malfunction of the instrument.            ・ Do not install instrument close to inlet of material under measurement. ・ Do not install any interfering instruments within the side beam, because reflections from beams, pipes, and other supports within the tank will cause false echoes.             ・ Provide shielding to minimize noise or unwanted reflections, when crossbeams, and other supports are installed within the tank.          Fig. 6. Radiation angle and side beam reference Long stand pipe Antenna burying Blind sector Fig. 7. Installation precaution (1) Fig. 8. Installation precaution (2)
 10   【False reflections】 In environments where interfering signals are generated, level meter may indicate incorrect measurements results. False reflections up to a certain level of strength can be suppressed by executing the echo learning function. However, the level meter's installed position must be changed if true echoes cannot be received or if the reflection level (measured in dB) is extremely low. When there are obstructions such as crossbeams, pipes, or level switches in the tank, install the level meter in a position where there is no obstruction within its radiation angle.    Important:It is not possible to specify the range of false reflections in dB that can be suppressed by the learning function because the level of true echo from the surface of material differs depending on the level meter installation conditions and measuring material type. The general guideline for the level of false reflections that can be suppressed by the learning function is one third (1/3) of true echo level.  ・Install protection such as a simple roof above the Level Meter to avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

 16      10-4. Echo learning of false echo Sets mask to unwanted reflections (false echoes or noise echoes) being received from obstructions within a tank.    Important:In most cases sets distance from level meter to unwanted reflections as echo learning distance. If there is true echo between the level meter and the masking distance, then echo learning distance shall be set as distance to true echo. Actual distance to mask will be around 1m less than the entered value.                                                  !   12.345m  Distance    APS Menu          0  1.Identification setting  2.Basic setting  3.Sensor adjustment  4.Graph display  5.Self test  6.Reset ▼【Measurement screen】 Ent ×1 Menu          0  1.Identification setting  2.Basic setting  3.Sensor adjustment  4.Graph display  5.Self test  6.Reset ▼+ ×2 Ent ×1 Sensor adjustment       3  1.Current output set  2.Meas. adjustment    Sensor adjustment       3  1.Current output set  2.Meas. adjustment    +×1 Ent ×1 Meas. adjustment      3.2  1.Echo learning  2.TW Adjustment    Echo learning        3.2.1  Distance = 0.00m  Execution=−  OK  Ent ×1Echo learning        3.2.1  Distance =_0.00m  Execution=−  OK  Ent ×1’2.00m’ is changed to   ‘0.00m’ as an example.

Important:"Parameter reset" ・ Parameter reset returns various parameters to instrument default. Please take note of current settings before execute parameter reset. ・ It is possible to clear echo learning range and strength by using the optional PC software, but echo learning setting described in article 10-4 does not clear even when reset is executed. ・ There are two reset types described above, but there is menu item "Factory reset" might be displayed.
