The Hycontrol Reflex VF04 TDR guided wave radar The probe measures liquids and solids up to a maximum range of 24 m with an accuracy of +/- 5 mm and offers a selection of durable and highly reliable probes.
A cable is lowered into the vessel from the top and continuously measures the level of product as it makes contact along its length.
The VGF-DISPLAY unit allows for fast programming and simple commissioning and can be removed for safe-keeping afterwards.

The TDR principle of operation is based on 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.
