Radar sensor

NivoGuide^® - NG 3100

Continuous level measurement
Solids
DK value ≥ 1,6

Application area

The guided radar sensor NivoGuide^® NG 3100 is used for continuous level measurement in bulk solids applications from a Dk value of 1.5. The large measuring range up to a vessel height of 75 m covers many applications in bulk solids. Intuitive operation and a Quick Start Wizard makes commissioning simple and safe.

Your benefit

Simple, menu-driven commissioning and diagnostics with operating module and display
Maintenance-free sensor
Use in narrow vessels possible due to guided radar signal
SIL 2/3 certified
