Description

Application

The Soliwave FDR56 microwave barrier employs a non-contact method for point level detection, making it ideal for installation in containers, conduits, shafts, or free-fall applications. It can measure through non-metallic container walls externally. This makes it an effective point level switch for monitoring and counting a wide variety of bulk materials. The FDR56 operates in tandem with the Soliwave FQR56 emitter.

Commonly detected materials include wood chips, wood dust, flour, plaster, cement, ash, paper and cardboard shreds, gravel, sand, dried powders, bags, and boxes.

Key specifications:

  • Process connections: Threaded
  • Ambient temperature range: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F)
  • Maximum measuring range: 100m (328ft)
  • Certified for international explosion protection

 


Benefits

The FDR56 ensures highly accurate measurements through its flush-mounted or non-contact installation options, with signal strength indication directly on the transceiver.

Its durable mechanical design leads to significant cost savings over the product’s lifetime, featuring no wear and tear, an optional process-wetted ceramic sensor diaphragm, long operational life, and maintenance-free performance.

The housing can rotate 360°, enabling easy adjustment for optimal positioning post-installation.

It supports direct supply voltage connection for both the emitter and receiver, either together or separately. Additionally, it is mechanically compatible with the FQR50/FDR50 series, allowing continued use of existing process connections and accessories such as adapter flanges, installation brackets, and sight glasses.
