• Adjustment function available for complex container geometries

Description
The ILT free-beam radar level sensor enables non-contact level measurement, including through plastic vessel walls.
The free-beam radar emits electromagnetic waves that are reflected by the surface of the measured material; the reflected signals are received and analysed to determine level. Up to two additional switch points can be integrated to provide further switching outputs, e.g. for overflow and/or dry-run protection.
With its compact design and simple handling, the ILT radar sensor is ideal for measurement tasks in industrial environments and on mobile working machines. It is engineered for challenging conditions such as dust, moisture and high temperatures; the non-contact measurement principle and maintenance-free design help reduce total cost of ownership.
