2.2 Device description
OPTIWAVE 1010 is an FMCW radar designed for use with the BM 26 Advanced (a magnetic level
indicator or MLI) or a bypass chamber. If the device is used with an MLI, it measures the distance
to the float. If the device is used with a bypass chamber, it measures the distance to the surface
of the liquid. Radar is a non-contact technology. For more data about the measuring principle,
refer to
Measuring principle on page 68.

INFORMATION!
You must use a float with BM26 Advanced magnetic level indicators that have the indicator
column, MS 40 limit switch or LT 40 analog transmitter options. If the device is installed on a
bypass chamber and the dielectric constant of the liquid is less than 3, you must use a float.
