Hycontrol's new Reflex VF05 TDR measuring probe measures liquids and solids up to a maximum range of 30m with an accuracy of +/- 5 mm, making it an ideal choice for various applications. The unit is unaffected by pressure, temperature, viscosity, vacuum, foam, dust, coating or changes in dielectric constant and offers a selection of durable and highly reliable probes.
A notable feature of the new VF05 TDR unit is the VGF-DISPLAY removable programming unit, which connects to the top of the instrument head and allows programming via touch buttons and an LCD screen. The detachable unit allows for fast programming and simple commissioning, with the display unit able to be removed for safe-keeping afterwards.
The TDR principle of operation is simple: pulses of low-power microwaves travel along conductors. It then reflects when the wave meets the product surface. To extrapolate the required level information, the instrument measures the time between emission and reception, which is proportional to the distance.
The VF05 TDR probe is a cost-effective, practical solution to a wide range of level monitoring and control applications; as a result, Hycontrol engineers highly recommend it.
