RADARCONT® RP4SR radar sensor

The radar sensor RADARCONT RP4SR form ACS Control-System GmbH is an electronic radar filling level sensor for continuous measurement of filling levels in liquid media.
The device operates with a pulsed FMCW radar (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and detects contactless the distence to motionloss objects.
The radar sensor RADARCONT RP4SR outputs a periodic radar signal with linear frequency which varies upwards and downwards. The rate of change of frequency over time remains constant. Objects in the detection range reflect the transmitted signal. The change in the signal delay and frequency of the reflected signal are used to determine the distance to the object.
The device is suitable for applications in virtually all industries, optimally for use within container up to 10m.
Due to the small opening angle especially disturbances by foreign objects or internals will be reduced.

It is recommended for applications in which optical or ultrasonic sensors are unsuitable due to interfering factors such as temperature, gas or vapor stratification, positive or negative pressure or vacuum, dust, wind or incidence of light.

Depending on the type of application, radar technology allows:

• Measurement of liquids, also at gas stratification (e.g. ammonia) or foaming
• Measurement though the container wall, e.g. IPC container or through a protection window, e.g. PTFE or PP

When level measurements with ultrasound reach their limits, our RADARCONT® is the right sensor. Our 122 GHz radar sensor has a very good signal focus and is insensitive to contamination and temperature fluctuations.
