Measuring principle

The MRG-10 measures liquid levels by transmitting low energy radar pulses towards the liquid surface and receiving the radar echoes. The travel time for the radar pulse is proportional to the distance between the gauge and the surface. Upon reception, microprocessors and intelligent software in the gauge head analyze the echoes and transform them into level output data.

The radar pulse is virtually unaffected by the tank content and atmosphere, temperature or pressure. Thus, radar measurement has proven to be the most reliable gauging method in most applications.

Furthermore, maintenance requirements are in fact zero as no part of the gauge is in physical contact with liquid.

All this makes MRG-10 very well suited for storage and buffer tanks in the chemical and water industry.

MRG-10 applications

The MRG-10 is appropriate for calm surface liquid. If you intend to use the MRG-10 to measure turbulence surface liquid, you need to use still pipe in order to keep the surface cal. The MRG-10 is appropriate for storage tanks or buffer tanks that have a relatively calm surface.

MRG-10 is appropriate for storage tanks or buffer tanks that have relatively calm surface.

• Chemical and petroleum
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food and beverage
• Industrial water, such as river intake gates
• Water supply
• Sewage water treatment plant
• Hydraulic power stations

If you intend to use the MRG-10 to measure turbulence surface liquid, you need to use still pipe in order to keep the surface calm. Refer right figure.

System

The MRG-10 uses a 2-wire system, which means both signal and power are available on the same wiring.

The MRG-10 is certified as an intrinsic safety instrument, if you intend to use it in a hazardous area, an intrinsic safety isolator should be used.

All data are displayed by a 5-digit LCD display on the main body and items easily changed using 4 configuration buttons. It is also possible to operate the Interactive Windows-based setup software on a PC.
