CDQ Level Sensor
MWS-24RF-CDQ

Unaffected by dust, vapor and flames!!
MWS-24RF-CDQ CDQ Level Sensor is a FMCW type Microwave Level Meter that consists of an antenna and controller designed for measuring the level of coke in the CDQ. The sensor is installed at the top of the CDQ and is used for monitoring the level, and extends the life of CDQ by controlling the level constantly.

Features

  • Unaffected by heavy dust
    Heavy dust accumulation on the antenna reduces the signal power, resulting in false or inaccurate measurements. However, WADECO has developed a unique, specially designed and highly effective N2 purging system to prevent the buildup of dust on the antenna surface, thus ensuring accurate and reliable measurement over extended periods of time (PAT.)
  • High accuracy and reliability
    Stable measurement even when the surface of the coke is sloped (±30mm).
    Due to the high S/N ratio, the sensor provides stable measurement even when the reflection from the target [coke] is very weak.
    Using 24GHz enables shaper beam angles and smaller antennas. Therefore, it is able to measure in narrow spaces.
    Utilizes filters which eliminate spurious signals.
  • The operational state is shown on your personal computer
    It displays an FFT spectrum, the received signal and various preset values.
    The received signal, FFT spectrum and the trend measurement are continually displayed. This displayed data can be recorded and reviewed in real or accelerated time.
    Use of the recording and reviewing capabilities allows the system parameters to be optimized offline.
    The display indicates and the controller outputs the internal temperature and any abnormal conditions (i.e. a lowering of received signal power, rising temperature in the controller and communication failures).
  • Convenient built-in functions
    A reference point and the required range are easily preset.
    Compatible for use with a personal computer.
    Free range power supply 90~240V, 50/60Hz.
    Communicates with a Personal Computer by RS-232C.
    4-20mA, analogue output.
    RS-422 digital output terminals (distance, receiving power level, temperature and alarm).
  • Comprehensive stand alone system
    No additional hardware/software is needed as all signal processing is done in the controller.
