In order to expand the test results, provide a basis for the selection of water level gauges, and at the same time improve the water level measurement and reporting conditions of the hydrological station on the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Let me introduce to you the installation diagram of Radar Non Contact Water Level Sensor.

Preparation and inspection before installation;

Please pay attention to the following matters to ensure that the meter can be installed correctly;

Please reserve enough space for installation;

Please avoid installation situations with strong vibration;

Please see the installation diagram description and installation location of the radar water level gauge below:

When a radar antenna emits microwave pulses, it has a certain emission angle.

There should be no obstacles from the lower edge of the antenna to the surface of the measured medium, and in the area radiated by the microwave beam.

Therefore, shielding facilities should be avoided as much as possible during installation, and “false echo learning” must be carried out when necessary.

Also pay attention when installing the instrument: the highest liquid level must not enter the measurement blind zone. The meter must be connected to the ground, and lightning protection measures should be added. Outdoor shading and rainproof measures should be taken.

If you need to measure river water level, open channel level, etc. The Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor can be used for non-contact continuous level monitoring.

Non Contact Capacitive Liquid Level Sensor

There are three commonly used non-contact liquid level sensors, namely capacitive liquid level sensors, ultrasonic liquid level sensors, and separate photoelectric liquid level sensors.

The non-contact liquid level sensor means that the liquid level can be detected without contacting the liquid. With this advantage, the application field of the non-contact liquid level sensor has been greatly expanded.

The capacitive liquid level sensor can detect the liquid level by attaching it to the container, so the installation process is simple. Capacitive liquid level sensors are mostly used in the field of home appliances because the positioning is due to the small size and low price of the sensor.

If the capacitive liquid level sensor is installed on the body, the container can be moved arbitrarily. For example, the capacitive liquid level sensor detects the low liquid level of the aromatherapy machine. When the sensor detects that the fragrance in the aroma diffuser bottle is only 20ml, it will give a signal to remind you. After the device receives the signal, it turns on the buzzer to alarm or light up to remind. At this time, the user can take the bottle to add liquid, or directly replace another bottle with a new one.

The disadvantage of capacitive liquid level sensors is that they can only be used on non-metallic containers. And it cannot detect liquids with low conductivity, such as diesel gasoline. It is also unable to detect high-temperature liquids. High-temperature liquid will cause the sensor to fail.

Non contact type water level sensor

Non contact level sensor is when the liquid level gauge measures the liquid level, the sensor does not need to touch the measured medium.

Common non contact level sensors include ultrasonic and radar.

Ultrasonic Level Sensing sensors and transmitters are used for continuous, non-contact level measurement.

Ultrasonic Level Sensing is a low-cost liquid level measurement technology. Ultrasonic Level Sensing sensors and transmitters are used for tank or river level measurement. Ultrasonic Level Sensing does not need to contact the medium, can be continuously measured, low cost. Therefore, Ultrasonic Level Sensing is very popular among users. Ultrasonic liquid level sensors are available in general and intrinsically safe types. Output 4~20mA standard signal or output the measurement result to the secondary meter through RS-485. Meets the system’s automatic control.

Radar level measurement uses Non-contacting radar technology for Continuous level measurement. Liquids and solids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.

Radar level transmitters use radar technology to perform non-contact continuous level measurement. The radar level indicator converts the level into an electrical signal. The level signal output can then be utilised by other instrumentation to monitor or control. Liquids and solids are commonly measured with this measuring technique. Like: Fly ash silo. Radar level sensors are divided into: Pulsed radar technology and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar level sensors.

It breaks through the influence of container wall thickness. Realizes the height of the liquid level in the closed container True non-contact measurement.

The ultrasonic liquid level sensor (probe) is installed directly under the outer wall (bottom) of the container under test. Calibrate the outer wall of the probe. There is no need to open holes for the container to be tested, easy to install, and does not affect production. It can accurately measure the level of various toxic substances, strong acids, strong alkalis and various pure liquids in high-pressure airtight containers.

The HS-2000 External Mounted Ultrasonic Tank Level Sensor has no special requirements for the material of the liquid medium and the container. The explosion-proof design is adopted to meet the explosion-proof requirements.

Portable ultrasonic liquid level indicator is best choice for tanks or pipes level measurement. It is designed to measure the presence or absence of liquid at a certain height position in a tank or in pipelines. Non-contact ultrasonic detection technology.

Questions

There are three commonly used non-contact liquid level sensors, namely capacitive liquid level sensors, ultrasonic liquid level sensors, and separate photoelectric liquid level sensors.

The non-contact liquid level sensor means that the liquid level can be detected without contacting the liquid. With this advantage, the application field of the non-contact liquid level sensor has been greatly expanded.

The working principle of the non-contact liquid level sensor:

Calculate the distance between the sensor and the measured object through the time of transmitting and receiving signals. Since the propagation speed in the air is constant, the distance between the liquid level sensor and the bottom of the container is constant, and the liquid level of the measured object can be known.

Ultrasonic sensors can detect the water level.

Ultrasonic sensors are widely used. There are many methods for liquid level measurement. Among them, the ultrasonic sensor has a simple structure, small size, low cost, simple and reliable information processing. Easy to miniaturize and integrate. And can be controlled in real-time. Therefore, the ultrasonic measurement method has been widely used. In addition, the accurate measurement of liquid level is an important guarantee for realizing production process detection and real-time control. It is also an important link to realize safe production.

The general photoelectric liquid level sensor installation is that only the light cone is in contact with the liquid. Therefore, the waterproof rating generally meets the conditions of IP64-67.

If you need to put the entire probe in the liquid, directly contact the liquid. Then the waterproof level IP64 cannot be achieved, and it needs to reach IP68.

The water level sensor supplied by Sino-Inst can meet the waterproof requirement of IP68.
