OPTIWAVE 5200

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in storage and process applications

Continuous, non-contact level measurement in storage and process tanks
10 GHz radar, Horn and Wave Horn antennas
Measuring range: 0…30 m / 98 ft
-60…+250°C / -76…+482°F; -1…40 barg / -14.5…580 psig (higher on request)

OPTIWAVE 5200 with PP Wave Horn antenna and PP thread protection

OPTIWAVE 5200 C – 10 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for aggressive liquids in storage and process applications

The OPTIWAVE 5200 is a 2-wire 10 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids, pastes and slurries. It is particularly suited for continuous, non-contact level measurement in storage or process tanks with small process connections or where it is difficult to access the tank roof (remote version recommended).

The OPTIWAVE 5200 is SIL2-compliant according to IEC 61508-2 for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Its PP or PTFE Wave Horn antenna options make it ideal for measuring the level of corrosive liquids. Additional ease of use comes from the quick coupling system which permits 360° rotation of the housing or its removal under process conditions.

Product highlights

PP or PTFE Wave Horn antennas (without gasket) for corrosive media
Metallic Horn antennas:

METAGLAS^® second sealing barrier for toxic and dangerous liquids
Purging system for antenna cleaning
Antenna extensions up to 1 m / 3.28 ft
Bent antenna extensions for tanks with internal obstructions
Heating / cooling systems prevent crystallization or build-up

Metallic Wave Guide antenna for clean liquids
Quick coupling system: converter is rotatable and removable under process conditions
Converter compatible with all BM 70x process connections
Horizontal or vertical housing position
Remote converter up to 100 m / 328 ft away from the antenna
2-wire: 4…20 mA/HART^®6, PROFIBUS PA, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus
±5 mm / ±0.2” accuracy
Keypad accessible without opening the housing cover
PACTware™, HART^® DD and DTM provided free of charge with full functionality
SIL2 certified

Typical applications

General

Level measurement in storage and process tanks:

with difficult access to the tank roof (remote version)
where readings are eased by horizontal or vertical housing positions
in hazardous areas with temperatures up to +250°C / +482°F
where FOUNDATION^TM fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA communication is required

Standard applications or applications with corrosive products where a cost-effective solution is required
Converter replacement in applications using the previous KROHNE BM 70x generation of level transmitters (e.g. BM 702 A)
