Terms & Conditions
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.
Features & Options
- 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 FOUNDATIONTM 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)
