Hawk Senator H80 Series 80 GHz radar level transmitters

Hawk Measurement Systems has announced the launch of its Senator H80 range of 80 GHz FMCW radar level transmitters designed to deliver greater accuracy, flexibility and cost-effective performance across liquid, slurries and solids applications.

The Senator H80 Radar Series is said to offer plant operators a smarter alternative to over-engineered, high-cost level systems without sacrificing reliability or precision, and completes HAWK’s level measurement instrument offering along with its established range of acoustic, ultrasonic, microwave, guided wave radar, fibre-optic, laser and sonar solutions.

80 GHz FMCW radar technology provides a narrow beam angle, high signal clarity and reliable measurement in challenging conditions such as steam, dust, foam, turbulence and vapour.

The range includes two core models: the Senator H80C compact radar, a lightweight design suitable for tighter installations and moderate ranges up to 30 m, and the Senator H80I Integral Radar, built for more demanding environments with a robust housing, extended measuring ranges up to 120 m for liquids and solids, and high-temperature versions capable of withstanding up to 260°C.

Commissioning and operation are streamlined through Bluetooth connectivity, PC software and intuitive configuration tools, reducing set-up time and minimising the need for specialist expertise. The Senator H80I also features an integrated keypad and display for onsite configuration and diagnostics.
