Radar Level Sensors

The ABM radar is a one echo sensor; ABM radars automatically adjust their transmitted energy and received echoes to get the same amplitude of wanted echoes regardless of the distance to radar, which allows a very narrow radiation beam and very short blanking.

When dealing with challenging environments such as vapour, temperature variations, extreme temperatures, extreme dust, wind, foam, ice, acoustic noise, etc., Radar should be your choice.

Features and Benefits

  • Fastest response on the market
  • Short transmitted pulses make ABM’s radars very high resolution to detect even oil-water interface.
  • No mounting affects radar’s performance
  • False echoes are pushed under noise level
  • Water condensation doesn’t affect the operation
  • Works on liquid and solid materials
  • Works in extremely high temperature applications
