According to ETSI EN 302 372-2 (2011), the radiated power outside a metallic tank is less than
-30 dBm.
The radio approval report is given on the DVD-ROM supplied with the device.
The device agrees with the ETSI EN 302 729 standard for Level Probing Radar (LPR)
equipment
It is possible to use the device in open-air installations, but the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC) and
the related standards must be approved in the country where the device is installed.
At this time, the R&TTE Directive is approved in the countries that follow: Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,

wire loop-powered. It is designed to measure the distance, level, mass, volume and reflectivity of
liquids, pastes and slurries.
Radar level transmitters use an antenna to emit a signal to the surface of the measured product.
The device has many antennas available. Thus, it can measure most products even in difficult
conditions. Also refer to
Technical data on page 94.
The device has a set-up wizard, fully-potted electronic circuit boards and online help functions.
You usually will not need this Handbook to install, set up and operate the device.
If it is ordered with the applicable options, it can be certified for use in hazardous areas.
These output options are available:
•1 output: 4...20 mA (HART)
•2 outputs: 4...20 mA (HART) + 4...20 mA
•2 outputs: 16 mA (HART) + 4...20 mA fast motion software (5 measurements per second)
These accessories are available:
•Stainless steel weather protection.
•RS232 / HART
®
converter (VIATOR).
•USB / HART
®
converter.
