Radar sensor with IO-Link – user-friendly, precise and reliable

The LXRC free-space level sensor enables continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk materials in hygiene applications. The 80 GHz signal is especially focused and measures up to a distance of 15 m with no dead zone and with a consistently high performance – for a safe process supply. The LXRC requires no calibration before use. Thanks to its compact design and non-contact measurement technology, it can be installed with little effort even in applications where the installation space is limited. Custom parameterization is possible via app or SOPAS ET. Thanks to IO-Link and optional WPAN, the level sensor is ideal for modern production environments. The operational status is visible even at a large distance via a color indication on a 360-degree status indicator.

Advantages

Precise measurement data and easy handling

The LXRC measures the fill level using non-contact 80 GHz radar technology. This enables measurement without a dead zone directly at the sensor. With a precision of +-2 mm across the entire measuring range of up to 15 m, the LXRC radar sensor delivers accurate data. The highly focused signal ensures reliability. The measurement quality is not affected by difficult installation conditions or harsh process conditions such as condensation and deposit-forming media.

Whether in large tanks, during filling or in a vacuum: the LXRC level sensor is quickly installed and ensures trouble-free, continuous level measurement in mechanical engineering applications.

The right solution for many areas of application

From silo tanks to bottling system – the LXRC radar sensor is designed for universal use and is therefore suitable for numerous applications and industries. Levels of both bulk materials and liquids can be reliably measured under different ambient conditions. The LXRC is equipped with the standard 4–20 mA and IO-Link interfaces to enable trouble-free on-site installation in the system.

The LXRC offers high flexibility and is suitable as a universal solution for continuous level measurement and inventory monitoring in industrial applications.
