1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

FMCW: Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave

The FMCW-radar uses a high frequency signal ~ 10 GHz.

The frequency of the signal is increased linearly by 1 GHz

during the measurement cycle (frequency sweep) The signal is

emitted via an antenna and reflected by the measuring surface

and received time-delayed. The received signal is frequency

shifted. The difference of frequencys ∆f is calculated from the

mixed time signal of the actual transmit frequency and the

received frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the

distance i.e. a large frequency difference correspond to a large

distance and vice versa.

The frequency difference is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the distance

is calculated from the spectrum.The level results from the difference between tank height and distance.

1.2 PRODUCT LIABILITY AND WARRANTY:

The PiloTREK 2-WIRE level gauge is designed solely for measuring the level, distance, volume and reflection of liquids,

pastes, slurries, particulate materials and solids.

The PiloTREK 2-WIRE level gauge does not form part of an overfill protection system as defined in the WHG (German

water pollution regulation).

Local codes and regulations apply to its use in hazardous areas.

Responsibility as to suitability and intended use of these level gauges rests solely with the user.

Improper installation and operation of our level gauges may lead to loss of warranty.

In addition, the "General conditions of sale", form the basis of the purchasing contract.

If you need to return the level gauge to the manufacturer or supplier, please refer to the information given in Section

“Maintenance, error handling”

2. HANDLING AND STORAGE

SAFETY ADVICE

Depending on the version, the device will weigh between approx. 5 kg and 30 kg. To carry, use both hands to

lift the device carefully by the converter housing. If necessary, use lifting gear.

When handling the PiloTREK 2-WIRE, avoid hard blows, jolts, impact, etc.

When storing the "Wave-Stick" version, make sure that the device is not placed on its side on the PTFE antenna, as this may

cause the rod to bend.

5. INSTALLATION

Most of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE versions are supplied in fully assembled condition. In this case, you may skip this chapter.

However, if a device should be delivered in parts, or parts are subsequently replaced, the following should be noted.

5.1 FIELD ASSEMBLY

For any necessary field assembly of the

PiloTREK 2-WIRE, all parts are included with the

supply (stud bolts, washers, etc.).

5.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Hazardous-duty systems:

•The PiloTREK 2-WIRE Ex is certified in conformity with European Standard for use in Zone 0, 1 and 2

hazardous locations (dependent on version).

•Attention is drawn to the data and information given on the nameplate of the converter, the nameplate

of the flange and the specifications in the approval certificates.

Safety:

•Check material compatibility of antenna, extension, flange, gaskets, and PP or PTFE

(used in all versions) with the product! See also section 8 "Type code"!

Mounting on the tanknozzle

a) Devices with horn antenna:

The antenna should project out of the nozzle. If necessary, use an antenna extension. Exception: in case of a symmetrical

tank fitting.

Installationon the tank

Do not forget the gasket when positioning the

PiloTREK 2-WIRE on the tank nozzle flange. Align PiloTREK 2-

WIRE and gasket, slightly tighten nuts on stud bolts (by hand).

Press shielding strip C* in the gap between tank and

PiloTREK 2-WIRE flanges and secure with strap retainer S*

(both items included with supply).

Strap retainer S* must fit closely and overlap both flanges.

only required for European radio approvals

Tighten down stud bolt nuts firmly. The tightening torque is

dependent upon the strength properties of the stud bolts and

the pressure rating of the tank

Positioning on the tank

>1/7×H, but max. 1/3×D H

Recommended distance Do not position in Do not position

from the tank wall tank centerline! above internals!

(multiple reflections!) (interference reflections!)

A Stilling Well or Wave-Guide may be mounted in any position on the tank!

When using the PTFE Wave-Stick in hazardous areas of Zone 0, any electrostatic charging of the stick, e.g.

by flow of product, must be avoided!

6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

To open the signal converter, please use a screwdriver and release the four visible screws on top of the blue housing.

Terminal assignment of PiloTREK 2-WIRE

The polarity of the 4-20 mA connection is arbitrary.

Equipotential bonding

When used in hazardous areas, the PiloTREK 2-WIRE Ex can be incorporated in the PA equipotential bonding system,

e.g. by using the separate U-clamp terminal at the “neck“ of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE Ex.

Rated temperature of connecting cables: see Section 8.

Supply voltage atthe terminals (1,2)

The 4-20 mA supply must be able to provide the following voltage U at the terminals of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE – dependent

on the current I. Please consider also the line resistance and possible loads on the secondary side of the supply unit.

7. SETTING THE PARAMETERS

Setting parameters via program PC-CAT

With the program PC-CAT, version 3.01 or higher, you can configurate PiloTREK 2-WIRE instruments in a very comfortable

way from a PC. Connect the non-intrinsically safe side of the isolation amplifier over a load between 120 Ωand 350 Ωto the

HART®adapter and connect it with a serial port of the PC.

The used isolation amplifier must be HART®compatible.

Localdisplay (optional)

(1) Numeric display, measured values

(2) Alphanumeric display, function/unit

(3) 6 Markers to display measurement status

(4) 4 keys for configuration and error interrogation

Function of keys (only together with local display)

Operator control can be carried out with the aid of local display unit after opening the housing. However, a particularly

convenient form of parameter setting is offered by the PC program PC-CAT (special accessories, see above).

Meaning of status markers (only for version with local display)

The 6 markers ▼below the local display only show information about the status of measurement and are no error displays!

▼1: No current measured value: The device is searching for a new value. If the search for a plausible level fails for a

certain time, "SIGNAL DOWN" appears as error display.

▼2: Signal too strong: Mean of reflected microwaves is very high. Gain is automatically stepped down.

▼3: Poor spectrum: Brief showing of this marker has no significance. If permanently on, this may result in uncertain

(incorrect) measured values or the error message "NO M.VALUE".

▼4: No measured value as yet: Evaluable measured values not available after the device has been started up.

Measured value automatically set to the level of the tank bottom. This marker disappears when the first valid

measured value is obtained.

▼5: Tank bottom: In tanks with dished bottom, for example, the measuring signal can "disappear" if measurements are

carried out near the bottom. The measured value is then automatically set to the level of the tank bottom.

▼6: Measurement frozen: Device is in the block distance detection (see below).

Simply scaling the currentoutput

1) Drain the tank completely to the 0% marking (= 4 mA) 1).

2) Press the lower keys (↵and ↓) down, until the asterisks on the

display „TANKHEIGHT********“ are replaced by the actual measured

distance value 2).

3) Then release and press ↵. In the lower line: „SURE NO?“ is

displayed.

4) If this value is not plausible or the tank is not empty, abort

by ↵. Or accept the value by pressing ↑(“SURE YES?”) and then

↵.

5) Now the tank height is set.

6) In the next step you can also enter this value as 4 mA scaling (0%).

Press ↵. In the lower line now: „SURE NO?“ is displayed again.

7) If this value shall not be stored, abort by ↵. Or accept this 4mA

scaling by pressing ↑(“SURE YES?”) and then ↵.

8) Fill the tank to the 100% mark. Use the same procedure for the

100% point = 20 mA only now by pressing the top keys →and ↑1) 2).

9) First the measured distance can be taken as block distance.

After this you can enter or adjust the 20 mA point (100%)

according to the actual level.

1) This example was written for the case: current output = level (default).

For distance measurement the points 0% (short distance = high level) and 100% (large distance = low level)

are exchanged

2) If no reliable measurement is possible „NO ACCESS“ is displayed. Abort by pressing ↵
