The start-up procedure for Optiwave and Optiflex is totally uncomplicated using the Quick Setup Assistant. The standard signal converter with large graphic display is controlled by way of four piezoelectric pushbuttons from the outside of the housing. Both devices have Hart capability and are supplied together with Pactware and DTM with full functionality, including data recording and reproduction. Optiwave and Optiflex both have a high standard accuracy of ±3 mm.
The Krohne Optiwave is not a pulse radar device but a 2-wire radar level gauge based on continuous FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology. Thanks to this 26-GHz FMCW radar system, together with very high dynamic response and large bandwidth, it is possible to achieve high resolution, accuracy and maximum application reliability.
The high signal dynamics of the Optiflex allows stable and accurate measurements. The sharper signal pulses allow measurement of interfaces as thin as 50 mm. Particularly helpful in practice has proved to be the integrated nil echo recording for the first metre. Even larger interference factors such as strongly agitated surface, foam or adhesions to the sensor have hardly any effect on measurement.
