Non-Contact Radar LRT500

The LRT500 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement of both liquids and bulk solids in a wide range of process conditions. It delivers exact measuring results independent of process conditions with a non-contact measuring principle, ensuring maintenance-free operation. The sensor can handle applications spanning a wide range of temperatures and pressures, with measurement accuracy of ±1 mm and range up to 120 m (393.7 ft).

The LRT500 offers flexible configuration options suitable for virtually any industrial application including storage tanks for chemicals, silos for dry goods, and solvent preparation tanks. It features multiple communication protocols (Profibus PA, HART, Modbus, Ethernet APL), various process fitting options, a wide selection of antennas, and hazardous area certifications. Its application-oriented design allows for simple and efficient device selection, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial measurement challenges.
