Centurion Guided Radar
Overview

Principle of Operation
Guided-wave technology sends the radar pulse down a probe to measure liquids & liquid interface (low to
high dielectric layers).
The pulse hits the surface of the first layer (low dielectric layer) and is reflected back up the probe. The pulse
continues to the second interface (high dielectric layer) and is then reflected back to the probe. The transit
time for both layers is translated into a distance using time of fight and time expansion.
Function
The HAWK range of Guided Radar products are ideal
for the measurement of liquids, sludge, powders
and granules to a range of 18.5m for level and
interface. This technology is not affected by pressure,
temperature, viscosity, vacuum, foam, dust, changes
in dielectric constant or coating of the probe.
