Radar level meter installation and maintenance: ensure long-term stable operation
Proper installation and maintenance are the key to ensure the performance of radar level meter. The following are practical suggestions from professional engineers:
Installation guide
Location selection:
Keep away from the feed port and agitator
Avoid direct aiming at the inner wall of the container or obstacles
The ideal position is at the center of the top of the container
Installation angle:
Keep the antenna perpendicular to the liquid surface
The maximum allowable tilt angle is usually 5°
Wave guide application:
Recommended for use in conditions with large fluctuations or high foaming
Ensure that the inner wall of the wave guide is smooth and unobstructed
The bottom needs to be open and connected to the container
Debugging steps
Empty tank calibration: set the reference zero point
Full tank calibration: set the upper limit of the range
Echo curve analysis: identify and shield false echoes
Parameter optimization: adjust the filter and Response time
Daily maintenance
Regular inspections:
Cleaning antenna surface (every 3-6 months)
Integrity check of seals
Tightness of electrical connections
Troubleshooting:
Signal loss: Check power supply and wiring
Unstable measurement: Clean antenna or check for changes in dielectric properties
Data drift: Recalibrate or check temperature compensation
Performance verification:
Perform full calibration once a year
Compare manual measurement results
Record historical data trend analysis
Tips for extending life
Use protective sleeves in corrosive environments
Ensure good heat dissipation in high temperature applications
Install surge protectors in thunderstorm-prone areas
Maintain proper ventilation and dryness
