The UWT level control family grows with new NivoRadar® – Radar level transmitter
Innovative. Precise. For challenging conditions and materials

Continuous non-contact level measurement

The robust stainless steel construction makes the NR 3000 extremely suitable for all kinds of industrial applications. The unit operates at a high frequency of 78 GHz. This delivers a very small beam angle which eliminates any signal interference at the flange but allows for optimum reflection of the bulk solids material.

The aiming flanges can be adjusted to ensure perfect positioning of the NR 3000. In other words, the angle of the beam can be set to a specific point; for example, at the outlet of the silo.

The lens antenna is highly resistant to material deposits and offers a self-clean function for extremely sticky solids using an air flush connection. The plugin display allows programming and diagnostics on-site, making the installation and operation of the unit as easy as child’s play.

Aiming flange & Integrated lens cleaner

The NivoRadar® offers a flat flange version and also an aiming flange version. Using the adjustable aiming flange, the radar is perfectly aligned since the probe can be fixed to the desired point; for example, at the silo discharge.

Due to the default purging air for cleaning the lens antenna, it is ideally placed for use within particularly sticky or caking bulk materials.
Even within applications where condensation occurs, the flushing connection provides functionally reliable measurement.

The device uses a two-wire technology and is made simple to operate via a local programmer with display and a Quick Start Wizard. The unshielded radar sensor has a completely dustproof design and provides reliable measurement results in high process temperatures up to 200°C.
