Microwave barrier transceiver Soliwave FDR16
- SKU:
- Soliwave FDR16 Series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Soliwave FDR16 is a highly compact transceiver designed for non-contact point level detection of bulk solids, liquids, piece goods counting, and object detection. It operates in conjunction with the FQR16 and employs a microwave barrier technology for non-contact measurement. Due to its ultra-compact design, it is ideal for applications with limited space or difficult-to-reach installation areas. For non-metallic containers, measurements can be taken externally without direct contact.
The Soliwave FDR16, paired with the FQR16, is capable of detecting minimum or maximum point levels for a variety of materials, from fine powders to lumpy bulk solids and liquids. This makes it suitable for applications such as overflow protection and dry-run prevention. Additionally, it excels in piece goods counting and object detection across various industries, including primary materials, energy, and food production.
Benefits
- Non-contact measurement – Functionality remains virtually unaffected by process conditions.
- Enhanced safety – Features continuous self-diagnosis and a comprehensive self-test system.
- Industry-leading protection – The first microwave barrier to offer IP69 protection rating.
- Compliance – Meets the stringent EU 1935/2004 standards.
- Effortless setup – Simplifies commissioning with cost-effective, user-friendly operation.
- Reliable performance – The non-contact detection method ensures continuous, maintenance-free, and wear-free operation.
- Durable construction – Housed in robust stainless steel for long-lasting performance.
