SmartLine GWR (SLG700) Level Technology 5

MODULAR DESIGN PROVIDING WIDE APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY

SLG700 technology So What?

Single chip design of the radar transceiver

Optimised single chip radar transciver enables excellent temperature stability.

Separate power circuit provides abundant energy for radar operation with strong signal (large signal to noice ratio) and reliable level calculations.

The radar reflection signal is digitised with high precision at a very early stage, which allows to store and process it without additional distortion.

Advanced power managemant

Digital signal processing

Innovative use of Correlation Algorithmfor level detection

Reflection signal is processed using Correlation Algorithm, which allows reliable level detection and tracking even in changing process environment.

SLG700 technology So What?

Advanced Correlation Algorithm Smooth and stable process, better product quality, and savings on maintenance.

Real world conditions are complex and varied.

Traditional pre-mapping for obstructions is not reliable due to changing conditions, and leads to potential error in level measurement in dynamic conditions.

Advanced level tracking algorithm of the SLG700, and additional automated functionality assure reliable level measurement even in difficult conditions in the tank.
