Description of Fluidwell TDR100 Continuous Guided Level Radar

Fluidwell TDR100 Continuous Guided Level Radar The Guidance TDR100 is a guided wave radar (GWR) for continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and solids, with active analog and digital control output. The mechanical installation has almost no restrictions and can be done easily. Due to its relatively small G3/4? process connection thread, the Guidance can be mounted at nearly any existing tank nozzle. Configuration of the TDR100 isn’t any harder. Easy configuration can be done by your own crew instead of expensive service engineers.

The Guidance TDR100 uses Time Domain Reflectometry technology: low-energy, high-frequency electromagnetic impulses, generated by the sensor circuitry, are propagated along the probe which is immersed in the liquid or solid to be measured. When these impulses hit the surface of the media, part of the impulse energy is reflected back up the prFluidwell TDR100 Continuous Guided Level Radarobe which then calculates the level from the time difference between the impulses sent and the impulses reflected.

The Guidense TDR100 is a guided level radar for continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and solids, with active analog and control output. It is very easy to install with a 4-wire system: a set of 2 wires for the power supply and separate sets of 2 wires for each output.

Configuration

Configuration of the Guidense TDR100 can be done directly with a set of DIP switches, a single push button and visual feedback from an LED. All settings required to get the sensor fully operational can be performed directly on the device.

Mechanical installation

The Guidense TDR100 is mounted vertically to the tank via its connection thread, which is screwed directly into a standard threaded tank connection, i.e. weld-in socket, or it can be screwed into a flange, which is connected to a tank nozzle.

Electrical installation TDR100

The Guidense TDR100 is a 4-wire system: a set of 2 wires for the power supply and separate sets of 2 wires for each output. The wires are connected to the electronic sensor inside the housing via a screwless, cage clamp terminal block for stranded and solid wires 0,5 – 2mm2/ AWG 22 – 14.

Probe types

To meet various application requirements, the Guidense TDR100 has three different probe types: single rod probe, wire rope probe, and coaxial probe. The single rod probe is recommended for installations in liquids and in bypass chambers and stilling wells. The wire rope probe is recommended for installations in solids, tall tanks, and where limited headroom is available. The coaxial probe is the ideal solution for a hassle-free ‘drop-in anywhere’ application; ensuring reliable measurement under almost all conditions. An extended temperature option, -200°C to +250°C, for the single rod and coaxial probe is available on request. For chemically aggressive and corrosive environments a single rod probe with PTFE coating is available on request.

Application of Fluidwell TDR100 Continuous Guided Level Radar

Suitable in almost every liquid and solid – independent of changing process conditions, such as density, conductivity, temperature, pressure, vapour, and turbulence.
All types of process and storage tank applications and has an exceptional performance in media with low dielectric constant (i.e. low reflectivity) such as oils and hydrocarbons.
The Guidense TDR100 has almost no installation restrictions – it can be mounted in small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles and it measures precisely even with difficult tank geometries or close to interfering
structures.
