2.Measurement Principle
Principle
The extremely narrow microwave pulse emitted by the antenna on radar level instrument
can travel at the speed of light and part of its energy, which is reflected off the surface of
target medium, is received by the very same antenna. The time lapse between pulse
emission and reception by the antenna is proportional to the distance between the surface
of target medium and the reference point on antenna. However, due to the fact that the
electromagnetic wave is transmitted at extremely high speed, which leads to the tiny time
lapse (nanosecond level) and makes it difficult to be identified,GDRD5X series of radar
level instrument have adopted a special demodulation technology, enabling itself to detect
the time lapse between pulse emission and reception correctly, and eventually generate
accurate measurement result.
Features
Equipped with advanced microprocessor and unique EchoDiscovery echo processing
technology, the radar level instrument can be used under various hazardous process
conditions.
The false echo storage function enables the instrument to detect the true echo with the
presence of multiple false echoes and eventually generate accurate measurement results.
There are multiple options available in choosing various process connection and detection
component, which enables GDRD5X series radar level instrument to be applied in a broad
array of hazardous applications, such as high temperature, high pressure, small dielectric
constant and so on.
The guided wave radar level instrument, with pulses as its working tool and extremely low
emission power, can be mounted on various metal or nonmetal vessels, harmless towards
the environment and human beings.

3. Mounting Requirements
Basic Requirements
There is a certain existing beam angle while the antenna transmitting microwave pulses. There should beno barriers
between the lower edge of antenna and surface of measuredmedium. Therefore it is highly recommended to avoid
facilities inside vessels, such asladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts and etc, during the mounting process.
“False echo learning” must be carried out during the installation in this case.Furthermore, microwave beams must
NOT intersect the filling streams. Be cautions duringthe installation: the highest level of target medium must NOT
enter into blanking zone; the instrument must keep certain distance to vessel walls; every possible measure needs
to be taken to position the instrument so that the direction of antenna emission is perpendicular to the surface of
measured medium. The installation of instruments in xplosion proof area must abide by relevant local or federal
safety regulations. Aluminum housing should be used for intrinsically safe explosion proof version, which is also
applicable in explosion proof areas. The instrument must be connected with ground in this case.

The best mounting position for a
conical vessel with flat top is the
center of its top, as the effective
measurement can reach the
bottom of vessel.
Damp-proof
In order to avoid dampness under
outdoor or humid indoor conditions
or for those instruments mounted
on cooling/heating vessels, seal
rings used on cables should be
screwed tight, plus the cable must
be bended downward outside
cable entry, indicated on the
diagram below

Antenna Extension
You are advused to use antenna
extension if the antenna is shorter
than socket.
Antenna Extension

Rod Antenna
The working part of antenna ,ie. the
cone-shaped body of antenna must
be fully exposed from the socekt. In
orderto meet the application requirement
of various sockets, different radar
level instrumentsof various sockets,
different radar level instruments of
variable length are available for
customers to choose from(see Chapter
6 Dimensional Drawings).
Rights and Wrongs in Mounting
Agitator
1.Wrong: Fail to turn the antenna
prependicular to the surface of
target medium.
2.Wrong:Instruments are mounted
in the center of concave or arched
vassel tops, which results in
multiple echoes.
3.Correct
1.Wrong: Mount the instrument
in/above filling stream, which
results in the measurement of
filling stream not the target medium.
2.Correct:
If there are agitators in vessels,
instrument must be mounted as
far away from agitators as possible.
Once installation completed, a
"false echo learning" should be
carried out while agitators in
motion to eliminate negative
influence caused by false echo
of agitators. You are advised to
opt for installation with standpipe
if foam or wave is generated due
to the action of agitators.
Pulse Radar Level Instrument
Reflection board installation
If there are barriers in vessels， it is
required to mount baffle-board, by
doing this, the echo reflected by the
barrier will be reflected out. And “False
Echo Storage” will be applied.
Agitator
If there are agitators in vessels,
instrument must be mounted as
far away from agitators as possible.
Once installation completed, a
"false echo learning" should be
carried out while agitators in
motion to eliminate negative
influence caused by false echo
of agitators. You are advised to
opt for installation with standpipe
if foam or wave is generated due
to the action of agitators.
6GHz Pulse Radar Level Instrument
Foam
Due to the action of filling, stirring or other processes inside vessels, dense foams are formed on the surface
of some liquid medium, which could attenuate emitting signals considerably. You are advised to mount the
instrument inside a standpipe or opt for a guided wave radar level instrument if the generation of foam incurs
measurement errors.
Installation with Standpipe
By using standpipe, the influence of foams can be reduced.

Vent hole of diameter 5-10mm
If the measurement is undertaken
by GDRD5X inside a metal standpipe,
the minimum inner diameter of
standpipe should be 50mm. Avoid
large cracks or welding seam when
connecting standpipe. False echo
storage must be carried out as
well in this case.Note: You must
NOT mount instrument inside
standpipe while measuring adhesive
medium.
Installation with a plastic standpipe
can avoid the generation of multiple
false echoes while the instrument
being mounted on the center of
vessel top. You are advised to
use PP or PTFE if the measured
medium is strong acidic or alkaline.

5 Electrical Connection
Power Supply
20mA/HART(2-Wire) Power supply and current signal are carried by the same two-wire connection cable.
This equipment is not allowed to be connected to public utility power lines.
See the Technical Specifications of this guide for detailed requirement on power
supply. A safety barrier should be placed between power supply and instrument for
intrinsically safe version.
See the Technical Specifications of this guide for detailed requirement on power supply.
Earth-connected current output can be used for standard version of level instruments,
while the explosion proof version must be operated with a floating current output. Both
instruments and earth terminals should be connected with ground firmly and securely.
Normally you can either choose to connect with the earth terminal on vessel or adjacent
ground in case of plastic vessels.
Cable Connection
General Introduction
Standard 2-wire cable with outside diameter of 5...9mm, which assures the seal effect
of cable entry, can be used as feeder cable. You are recommended to use screened
Shielding & Grounding
The two ends of shielded cable must be connected with earth terminal. The shielded
cable must be connected with inner earth terminal directly inside the transducer, while
the outside earth terminal on housing must be connected with ground. In the event of
earth-connected current, the shielding side of shielded cable must be connected to
ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. : 1μF 1500V) in order to dampen the low
frequency grounding current and avoid the disturbance caused by high frequency signals
