Distance & Level

WADECO MicroRanger – Distance and Level Measurement Instrument

The MWS-10RF FMCW radar level sensor is a cutting-edge solution for radar distance measurement in extreme conditions. It combines advanced technology with FM-CW measurement and circularly polarized microwaves, delivering highly accurate, stable, and reliable level measurements. The sensor’s heat-resistant antenna operates in high-temperature zones, while the controller stays in a cooler area, ensuring precise measurements without needing special cooling.
Ideal for challenging applications in the iron and steel industry, the MWS-10RF is used to monitor blast furnace burden profiles, pig iron levels in Torpedo Cars, and BOF bath levels. It also suits other demanding environments like municipal, industrial, and nuclear waste disposal furnaces.
Key Features:

  • RESILIENT UNDER HARSH CONDITIONS
    • The antenna is designed for installation in high-temperature zones without requiring extra cooling systems.
    • It connects easily to the controller using both bent and straight waveguide tubes.
    • Microwaves remain stable regardless of temperature, flames, vapor, airborne particles, or dirt.
    • Engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of the iron and steel industry.
  • EXCEPTIONAL ACCURACY AND DEPENDABILITY
    • The margin of error is within ±10mm.
    • Circular polarized microwaves eliminate false readings caused by double-reflected waves.
    • Accuracy is maintained even with fluctuating temperatures and prolonged use.
    • Filters are employed to remove unwanted signals.
  • REAL-TIME OPERATIONAL DISPLAY ON YOUR PC
    • The mWave™ shows the FFT spectrum, the received signal, and preset values.
    • The system continuously displays the received signal, FFT spectrum, and measurement trends, which can be recorded and reviewed in real or accelerated time.
    • These recording features allow offline optimization of system parameters and facilitate remote troubleshooting and support.
    • The display provides real-time output of internal temperature and alerts for irregularities, such as low signal power, rising controller temperature, and communication issues.
  • USER-FRIENDLY INTEGRATED FUNCTIONS
    • Easy presetting of reference points and the required dynamic range.
    • Compatible with personal computers.
    • Automatic power supply ranging from 90~240V, 50/60Hz.
    • Communicates with computers via RS-232C.
    • Offers 4-20mA analog output.
    • RS-422 digital output and input terminals enable remote LAN and/or ETHERNET communication.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT DESIGN
    • Portable, weighing just 7.5kg (controller only).
    • Simplified installation.
    • Highly adaptable to various environments.
    • Both hardware and software can be customized to meet specific requirements.

The MicroRanger’s flexibility allows it to be utilized in various measurement applications. Our application engineers can design a MicroRanger system tailored to your unique measurement needs and applications by collaborating closely with your company.
