Krohne OPTIWAVE 1540 and OPTIWAVE 1560 radar level sensors

KROHNE has expanded its range of radar level meters with two instruments in the OPTIWAVE 15xx series: a version with local display for OPTIWAVE 1540 and OPTIWAVE 1560; and the SCU 200 control and signal conditioning unit, which is compatible with all OPTIWAVE 15xx devices.

Designed for basic applications, the OPTIWAVE 15xx series features a flush-mounted PVDF lens antenna and offers HART and Bluetooth connectivity. The series’ compact design, robust construction and intuitive commissioning via the OPTICHECK Level mobile app make it suitable for applications with liquids and solids. The local display version enhances the flexibility of the OPTIWAVE 1540 and 1560, offering an option for users who require onsite visualisation of measurement values.

The SCU 200 is a versatile control and signal conditioning unit for 4–20 mA field devices for processing measurement values and signalling tasks. It complements KROHNE’s OPTIWAVE radar level transmitters and offers functionality that includes dual totalisers, pulse output, sampling and pump control. The SCU 200 also supplies power to connected field devices, eliminating the need for additional power electronics. The configurable display features colour-changing LED backlight, trend indication, relay status and alarm signalling. Parameterisation is carried out via standard USB-C cable using dedicated software.
