Drexelbrook
expands Range of FMCW Based Radar Level Measurement Products
DRX400 and DRX500 Series Transmitters added to Open-Air Radar
Product Line
AMETEK Drexelbrook,
a world leader in level measurement technology, has expanded
its open-air radar level offering with the addition of the DRX400
(24 GHz) and DRX500 series (80 GHz) level transmitters. Both
incorporate state-of-the-art features and components.
The DRX400 Series consists of 3 new models :
This set of 24 GHz radar transmitters covers a broad range of
applications including liquids and solids.
The DRX500
Series consists of 3 new models :

This set of 80 GHz
radar transmitters covers applications with liquids, slurries
and solids for both hygienic and non-hygienic requirements. All
80 GHz radar transmitters are especially beneficial for level
measurements in narrow tanks with internal obstructions due to
their small beam angle. The DRX500 transmitters, with its flush-mounted
polyether ether ketone (PEEK) lens antenna and wide process connection
options, is ideal for hygienic liquids.
Both series of products feature a large, backlit LCD screen
with 4-button keypad that can be assessed with a bar magnet without
opening the housing cover. Each uses software that has a quick
set up assistant for easy installation. Each conforms to NAMUR
recommendations NE 21, NE 43 and NE 53 and can measure fast-moving
processes. The transmitters are available with aluminum or stainless-steel
housings.
Radar is one of the most accurate technologies for process level
and storage tank applications for continuous level measurement
under demanding conditions. The transmitters utilize Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology that offers superior
signal processing capabilities and a more reliable measurement
than other techniques. The state-of-the-art signal processing
capabilities of these transmitters, along with their frequency
range helps to ensure optimum application coverage.
Both additions to the DR Series measure distance, level and volume
of liquids, slurries and solids. They also offer an empty spectrum
function that filters false reflections caused by equipment and
other tank obstructions.
