KROHNE OPTIWAVE 7400

The OPTIWAVE 7400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in harsh environments like tanks with agitators containing corrosive media. It is particularly designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement under extreme conditions prevalent in the chemical, petrochemical, power, metal or oil and gas industry. The device features Metallic Horn antennas as well as PTFE and PEEK Drop antennas for measuring distances up to 100 m / 328 ft. The Drop antennas are perfectly suited for aggressive liquids in tanks. In applications with toxic and dangerous products, this radar device can be equipped with a METAGLAS^® second sealing barrier.

The OPTIWAVE 7400 provides accurate readings even in processes with fast changing levels. It has approvals for hazardous areas and can be used in process conditions of up to +200°C / +392°F and 100 barg / 1450 psig. There is also a dedicated version available for non-ex applications with molten salt or other high temperature liquids up to +700°C / +1292°F. The radar level transmitter comes with a quick coupling system, allowing the converter to be removed under process conditions and upgrade obsolete radars in high-end applications, e.g. to obtain extended device features. The OPTIWAVE 7400 features extensive device diagnostics (acc. to NE 107) as well as HART^®7 communication.
