1. General Comment
The radar barrier is a contactless measuring method and can be used for metallic as well as non-metallic
ducts, bunkers, shafts, free-falling stretches, expansion bellows etc. Since it can penetrate non-conductive
material, e. g. such as plastics, it is possible to detect from the outside or through a window. The metering
thus can be completely decoupled from the process, e. g. for measuring aggressive, abrasive or bulky
material.
Even at difficult conditions - like temperatures of up to 1000 °C, pressure of up to 20 bar or all dust Ex-
zones - the ProGap can be used by means of a process adapter.
2. Mounting and Installation
The fitting position of the devices is arbitrary, however, absolute attention must be paid to the same fitting
position of transmitter and receiver (marking of each device at the top) and to the very exact justification to
each other (see below fig.).
Fig. 1: Installation
Transmitter and receiver must face each other with their front side on the same level.
Finally, it is important that the ProGap is mounted in a place where are no or only very weak vibrations.
