KROHNE Launches New OPTIWAVE 1500 Product Line
Introducing the OPTIWAVE 1520 and 1540 advanced radar level transmitters for industrial and municipal markets
Beverly, MA: KROHNE, Inc. is excited to announce the launch of its new OPTIWAVE 1500 product line, featuring the OPTIWAVE 1520 and OPTIWAVE 1540 radar level transmitters. These innovative products are designed to meet the demands of various industrial and municipal applications, providing accurate and dependable level measurement solutions.
The OPTIWAVE 1520 is a basic yet highly effective radar level transmitter, ideal for a wide range of standard applications with liquids and solids. Its compact and robust 80 GHz radar with a flush-mounted PVDF Lens antenna ensures cost-effective non-contact level measurement in tanks, water and wastewater basins, pumping stations, and small granular silos. With a measuring range of up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) and high resistance to harsh environmental conditions (IP68 rating), it is perfect for outdoor applications.
The 1520 features user-friendly commissioning via Bluetooth® using the OPTICHECK Level Mobile app or HART® with the OPTICHECK DTM. It excels in challenging conditions with its narrow beam angle, virtually no dead zone, and high dynamic range, ensuring reliable readings even with condensation or moving surfaces.
The OPTIWAVE 1540 offers advanced capabilities for more demanding applications. This radar level transmitter is designed for liquid chemicals, solids, and open channel flow with high accuracy requirements. Its measuring range extends up to 15 meters (49.2 feet), and it features a similar robust and compact design with an 80 GHz radar and PVDF Lens antenna. The 1540 is also IP68 rated, ensuring durability in harsh conditions. It is particularly suited for applications such as IBCs, chemical tanks, water and wastewater systems, and granular silos. The 1540 also includes totalizer functionality for volume and flow rate monitoring, making it ideal for open channel applications and flood warning systems.
Both models feature OPTICHECK technology for enhanced device diagnostics, on-site verification, and continuous self-checking without process interruption. They offer user-friendly installation and setup, ensuring quick and easy commissioning regardless of tank size, material, or geometry.
