Antenna radar level meter ARLM-54

Non-Contact Radar Measurement for Industrial Tanks

The ARLM-54 Antenna Radar Level Meter delivers precise non-contact level measurement for liquids in industrial tanks and vessels. The device uses FMCW radar technology to measure the distance between the sensor and the liquid surface.

The sensor transmits radar waves toward the liquid surface. The reflected signal returns to the sensor. The system calculates the level based on the time and frequency change of the reflected signal.

This method ensures stable and accurate measurement without direct contact with the media. As a result, the sensor works well in demanding industrial environments.

Wide Measuring Range for Flexible Applications

The ARLM-54 supports two measuring ranges up to 8 meters or 20 meters. This flexibility allows installation in both small and large tanks.

Industries often use this radar sensor in storage tanks, chemical containers, and water treatment systems. The sensor measures liquid levels reliably even when the vessel shape varies.

Users can also adjust the measuring span with a minimum range of 200 mm, which improves accuracy for different tank sizes.

Intelligent Signal Processing for Stable Results

The ARLM-54 includes advanced digital signal processing technology. This system automatically filters out false reflections caused by internal tank structures.

Pipes, agitators, and tank walls often create unwanted echoes. The sensor identifies and suppresses these signals. Consequently, the device maintains accurate level measurement.

The radar measurement remains stable regardless of temperature or pressure conditions above the liquid surface.

Reliable Measurement in Harsh Conditions

Many industrial tanks contain aggressive vapors or challenging environmental conditions. The ARLM-54 handles these situations effectively because the radar signal remains unaffected by vapor composition.

This capability ensures reliable operation in chemical processing, industrial storage, and manufacturing environments.

The device also operates within a temperature range of −30°C to +70°C, which allows installation in outdoor or industrial environments.

Easy Installation and Robust Protection

The ARLM-54 supports flexible installation using either bottom or top threaded connections. This feature simplifies mounting in different tank configurations.

The sensor connects through a two-core cable, which simplifies electrical installation. Users can choose a standard cable gland or a gland designed for protective hoses, depending on installation requirements.

The device features a high protection rating of IP68, which protects the sensor from dust, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions.

Industrial Communication and Monitoring

The ARLM-54 provides a 4–20 mA output signal with HART® communication. Control systems use this signal to monitor tank levels and manage process automation.

This communication capability allows engineers to integrate the sensor easily with PLC systems and industrial monitoring platforms.

With non-contact radar measurement, intelligent signal processing, and durable construction, the ARLM-54 offers a reliable solution for industrial level monitoring.
