Programming
The microwave signal that is reflected from the surface of the process material is
received by the Radar Level Transmitter. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) software
detects the echo and computes the distance to the liquid or solid material in the
tank. The Radar Level Transmitter firmware uses the distance measurement to
calculate the level in the tank.
The Solartron Mobrey Hand Held Communicator (MRL-HHC) can be connected to
the Radar Level Transmitter using the lead provided which allows the user to
interrogate, programme or display values in the transmitter.
The RS-232 connection allows communications with a PC running the Radar
Level Transmitter Window’s based Setup Software.
Note: -
As the cover of the Radar Level Transmitter has to be removed to allow wiring and
connection of a PC or HHC, a work permit or similar will be required if the Radar
Level Transmitter is installed in a hazardous area, in accordance with site
regulations. The cover must be replaced for normal use in hazardous areas.
The HHC and RS232 links are provided for programming and installation only
and must be disconnected after setup.
