Microwave barrier transceiver Soliwave FQR16
- SKU:
- Soliwave FQR16 Series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Soliwave FQR16 is a highly compact transceiver designed for non-contact point level detection in bulk solids, liquids, and for counting piece goods or detecting objects. Paired with the FDR16, it utilizes a microwave barrier system that enables non-contact measurement, making it ideal for installations in hard-to-reach or tight spaces due to its ultra-compact structure. For non-metallic containers, the system can even perform measurements externally.
The Soliwave FDR16 and FQR16 effectively detect minimum and maximum point levels in a wide range of bulk solids—from powdery to lumpy materials—and liquids, offering protection against overflow or dry running. Additionally, it supports piece goods counting and object detection across various industries, including primary materials, energy, and food processing.
Benefits
- Non-contact measurement method – detection largely unaffected by process conditions
- Enhanced safety – continuous self-diagnosis and comprehensive self-testing
- First microwave barrier with IP69 protection rating
- Compliant with EU regulation 1935/2004
- Easy and cost-efficient commissioning process
- Reliable detection – non-contact method ensures wear-free, maintenance-free operation
- Durable construction – robust stainless-steel housing
