-
- Commodity name: OPTIWAVE 1520_Radar Level Meter
- Commodity ID: OPTIWAVE 1520
OPTIWAVE 1520 is a two-wire 80 GHz radar level transmitter designed for both conventional liquid and solid applications. Featuring a PVDF lens antenna and a compact housing, it’s particularly well-suited for tight spaces, harsh environments, and challenging process conditions—such as demanding outdoor applications where durability is critical. This radar is an ideal choice for measuring wastewater, sludge, and treated water in scenarios like pump stations, screw lift stations, or various types of reservoirs. Additionally, it’s perfectly suited for small silos containing particulate or other solid bulk materials. The level transmitter offers an optional IP68 protection rating, ensuring it can withstand heavy rainstorms and flooding. Thanks to its flush-mounted antenna design and highly focused beam angle, this cost-effective 80 GHz radar can also be used in small open containers or pressurized vessels equipped with internal structural components—enabling nearly dead-zone-free level measurement. Its exceptional high dynamic range allows the OPTIWAVE 1520 to effortlessly handle condensation, fluctuating liquid surfaces, or uneven material levels, consistently delivering stable and reliable measurement readings. Commissioning is made easy via Bluetooth® communication combined with the KROHNE OPTICHECK Level Mobile app—or through HART® communication using the OPTICHECK DTM software. The OPTIWAVE 1520 also comes equipped with the "OPTICHECK Integrated Technology" self-diagnostic feature, enabling continuous device testing and verification without interrupting the process or requiring removal of the radar. On-site reports are generated automatically, providing instant insights into the system’s performance.
