Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter (TDR) Model NGM
Sensor components
housing
Application Area
The innovative TDR technology enables direct, precise and feed-through
highly reliable continuous level measurement as well as
point level detection in almost every liquid and light solids –
independent of changing process conditions (such as density,
conductivity, temperature, pressure or air humidity). The units
can be mounted in small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles and probe (depicted single rod probe)
it measures precisely even with difficult tank geometries or
close to interfering structures. NGM is also especially suitable Modular probe design
in bypass chambers and stilling wells. It has an exceptional
performance in media with low dielectric constant (i.e. low
reflectivity) such as oils and hydrocarbons. ferrule

Electrical Connection
NGM is a 4-wire system i.e. a set of 2 wires for the power
supply and separate sets of 2 wires for each output. The
electronic is galvanically completely insulated from its inputs/
outputs and the tank potential, thus avoiding any problems
from electrochemical corrosion protection of the tank.
Basic configuration of the devices can be done directly on the
device via a DIP switch, a single push button and visual feed-
back from an LED. For greater convenience, a simple EXCEL
spread sheet is provided through which remote configuration control system,
e.g. DCS or PLC
and extensive diagnostics can be done. A standard HART®
modem e.g. HARTCOMM is required for communication be-
tween computer and sensor.
