Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter MT5000

The MT5000 Series Guided Wave Radar transmitters feature a graphic display incorporated into an all digital electronics module. Using this new format K-TEK has been able to add waveform screens to the modular electronics along with easy to follow multiple choice setup menus.


The MT5000 Series Guided Wave Radar transmitters feature a graphic display incorporated into an all digital electronics module. Using this new format K-TEK has been able to add waveform screens to the modular electronics along with easy to follow multiple choice setup menus. These menus can be changed to many different languages for easy commissioning throughout the world. MT5000 Series Guided Wave Radar transmitters provide superior performance in tough applications. Pulses of microwave energy are directed to the product surface using a rigid rod or flexible cable type probe. This assembly has no moving parts and no loss of energy due to beam divergence. Multiple coupler and probe types are available to accommodate applications such as knock out drums, feed water heaters, production vessels and separators. 316L stainless steel is the standard probe material however materials such as Hastelloy C-276 and Monel are available for use in acidic or caustic services.
