2.2 Device description
This TDR level transmitter measures distance, level, interface, mass and volume of liquids,
pastes and slurries.
TDR level transmitters use a probe to guide a signal to the surface of the measured product. The
device has a large choice of probes. Thus, it can measure most products in difficult conditions.
For more data, refer to
Technical data on page 144.
The signal converter of the device has 3 versions: Compact version (C), Sensor extension with
compact version (S) and Remote version (F). The converter can also be ordered with horizontal
or vertical housing options for easy access to the device terminals and the optional display.
The signal converter is attached directly to the process connection and the probe.
The signal converter is installed away from the process connection and the probe (for example:
at the bottom of a tank). The RS-485 signal cable between the signal converter and the probe
electronics housing has a maximum length of 100 m / 328 ft.
