Radar module UTR30

Module for level measurement in liquids and solids

The UTR30 radar module enables continuous, non-contact, and precise measurement of levels in tanks and silos as well as water levels.

Benefits

The features of the UTR30 free-radiating radar module at a glance.

  • Precise measurement according to the time-of-flight method (ToF)
    The continuous, non-contact measurement based on the time-of-flight principle enables precise measurement of distances up to 35 m in tanks or silos and the measurement of water levels.
  • Easy change of parameters
    The radar sensor can be individually adapted to the customer-specific application. Parameters such as the medium (solid/liquid) and the sensitivity (low/medium/high) can be easily changed – depending on the application.
  • Application specific configuration
    Depending on the application, the housing design, electrical connection, process connection, and communication interface can be configured according to customer specifications.

Radar module UTR30

With the free-radiating radar modul UTR30, we offer you a real all-rounder, which is particularly suitable for level monitoring in liquids or solids. The continuous, non-contact measurement according to the time-of-flight principle enables precise measurement in tanks and silos up to 35 m deep as well as the measurement of water levels. In addition, the radar measurement technology is ideally suited to coping with challenges such as movements in the tank, rapid temperature changes or rough weather conditions. The UTR30 is available in various versions from a pure sensor to a customer-specific radar module with a defined electrical interface.
