BAB Radar Level Transmitter

Brand: Babbitt International Inc
Babbitt Pulse Radar Level Transmitters operate on the Time-of-Flight principle. The microprocessor-controlled electronics transmit an electromagnetic pulse down to the fluid surface. The media reflects the signal and the time of flight is measured and converted into an output signal, which can then be sent to a display, PLC or other controller.

Proprietary software senses and analyzes the amplitude and shape of received echoes. This enables the units automatic gain control to track the process level as well as help eliminate echoes from unwanted obstructions. 

Low Dielectric Mode allows for use in liquids with dielectric constants of 2 or greater. Setup and commissioning are quick and easy. Calibration can be performed using the single push button or via the factory provided software. The Gateway software enables diagnostics, data logging and advanced calibration settings not accessible via the push button.

Babbitt offers a full range of Radar level measurement models to meet your applications needs. Various models, options and features include measuring ranges 17’ to 240’, high temperature, high pressure, sanitary connections as well as different power supply choices including 2 Wire Loop with HART communication. 

Optional Explosion Proof Approval for 24 VDC and 2 Wire Loop Models. External relay controllers with programmable set points and alarms are available.
Features
  • 4-20 mA or 20-4 mA output
  • Unaffected by vapors or fumes
  • Smart Sensor technology keeps beam narrow
  • Simple configuration via push button or Gateway software
  • Low Dielectric Mode for measurement of non-conductive liquids
  • Non-volatile memory-batteries not required
  • PLC compatible (Modbus RTU)
  • Optional communication – RS232, RS485 or HART
