Accu-Wave Chapter 1 Introduction
TN Technologies 1-1
Chapter 1 Introduction
The Accu-Wave Model 1440 Radar Level Gauge uses a microwave signal to
continuously measure the level of the process material. The Accu-Wave provides better
performance than sonic measurement systems, particularly in hostile environments,
because the microwave signal is unaffected by mist, surface agitation, temperature
changes, or pressure changes. The standard menu-driven user interface, with built–in help
screens, the optional Windows-based Setup Software are designed to make the gauge
easy to set up and operate.
The Accu-Wave transmits a microwave signal that is reflected from the surface of the
process material. The reflected signal or echo is received by the Accu-Wave. The Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) software detects the echo and computes the distance to the
liquid or solid material in the tank. The Accu-Wave firmware uses the distance
measurement to calculate level, volume, and other user-selected measurements.
Description
The Accu-Wave Radar Level gauge consists of an integrated sensor and transmitter with
the microwave sensor and transmitter circuitry combined on a single electronics board.
The microwave signal is launched from the bottom of the board via a cup/probe assembly
into the antenna. The antenna serves to focus the transmitted signal as well as to receive
the reflected echo. Currently, the Accu-Wave is available with dielectric rod antennas.
Horn antennas will be available as a future option.
Antennas
The standard antenna configuration for the Accu-Wave gauge consists of a dielectric-
filled, 1 inch O.D. stainless steel waveguide with a dielectric rod antenna. The dielectric
rod antenna is available in either polypropylene or Teflon (PTFE). The stainless steel (SS
316) waveguide material is swaged (crimped) over the dielectric-fill material. The swage
serves both as a process seal as well as a pressure seal. The PTFE antenna design also
uses O-rings to ensure the integrity of the process seal. Viton and Kalrez O-rings are
available.
Horn antennas, with diameters ranging from 2 to 8 in., will be available as a future
option.
Mounting Configurations
The dielectric rod antennas are fitted with either a 1-inch NPT threaded bushing, welded
to the waveguide, or with a welded flange. The available flanges sizes are 150 lb. or 300
lb., with diameters of 2, 3, 4, or 6 inches. Waveguides are provided in lengths of 6, 9, 12,
or 15 inches lengths, where the length refers to the portion of the waveguide that extends
below the bushing or the flange. For optimum performance, the end of the waveguide
should extend to the bottom of the tank nozzle or below.
Level measurements can be made even when the process material level is in contact with
the dielectric antenna to within ~3.5 inches of the bottom of the steel waveguide.
Chapter 1 Introduction Accu-Wave
1-2 TN Technologies
Measurement accuracy, however, is degraded when the process level is above the bottom
of the probe.
Approvals
The Accu-Wave is certified for use in hazardous locations as follows (approvals are
pending as of 1 March 2000):

See Appendix C for additional information regarding specifications and safety approvals.
Note: Verification of chemical compatibility with the exposed antenna materials is
ultimately the responsibility of the customer.
Sensor-Transmitter
The sensor and transmitter are integrated on a single electronics board. The transmitter
detects the signal reflected from the process material, determines the distance to the
surface of the process material, and calculates other measurement values. These values
can be displayed on a local/remote display, sent to the serial ports (RS-485 standard, RS-
232 optional), and can be used to drive the 4-20 mA current output or process alarms.
The RS-485 and optional RS-232 serial ports support communications from a PC with
the Accu-Wave Window’s based Setup Software, a PC with terminal emulation software,
or a TN Technologies' Hand Held Terminal.
The Accu-Wave supports 4-20 mA current output, serial communications, a contact
closure input, and a 2-line local/remote display. The Accu-Wave inputs and outputs are
summarized in the following Input/Output Characteristics Table.

Features and Benefits
Dynamic Menu System
You see only the menu options pertinent to your application. The initial “Set up level, ...”
menu takes you through a basic setup to get your instrument up and running quickly.
Help screens are available at appropriate points.
Built-in Volume Measurement
Select one of the pre-defined tank shapes, enter its dimensions, and the gauge computes
volume from an internal equation library. Alternately, you can define volume as a
polynomial expression based on the level (height) or as a break table of volume and
height value pairs.
Instantaneous Response
TN Technologies Dynamic Process TrackingTM (DPT) ensures no lag time in the system
response to level changes. When sudden process changes occur, the DPT feature reduces
the normal averaging time constant by a factor of eight, ensuring a smooth and rapid
output response. When the process stabilizes, the longer time constant is applied to
reduce spurious fluctuations in the measurement. In this way, actual changes in process
level are immediately reflected in the transmitter output, while the effects of signal
variations from turbulence and other short term factors on the measurement are greatly
reduced.
Chapter 1 Introduction Accu-Wave

Extensive Alarms
You can set up as many as 16 process alarms in addition to system fault alarms and
warning alarms.
Quick and Easy Setup
The menus take you through the setup procedure step–by–step. Built-in help screens are
provided at appropriate points in the menu structure.
Multiple Readouts
You can select up to six of the following values for display: level, distance, volume,
unfilled volume, percent full, percent empty, percent distance, percent level, signal
strength, or alarm relay status. The screen automatically displays the measurement values
three at a time in alternation. The measurement values can also be sent to a remote
terminal or a computer.
Marker Sweep Software
TN Technologies’ patented Marker Sweep software continually adjusts the transmitter
output signal to maintain linearity. This highly consistent microwave signal ensures
reliable, stable system operation and accurate level measurements.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
The gauge uses DSP hardware and software to process the received microwave signal
(the echo) and to provide accurate, real-time measurements of the distance to the surface
of the process material.
How the Accu-Wave Works
The sensor generates a microwave signal composed of electromagnetic waves – two
perpendicular oscillating fields (electric and magnetic) that travel together. The
transmitted signal is reflected from the surface of the process material. This echo is
detected and evaluated for changes in frequency to determine the distance to the liquid or
solid material in the tank.
The Marker Sweep software continually adjusts the signal output to maintain the linearity
of the transmitted frequency sweep. This highly consistent microwave signal ensures that
changes in level are reported accurately in real-time. Dynamic Process Tracking software
ensures quick system response to changing process levels by automatically reducing the
response time when level changes occur. A variety of tools are provided in the menus to
“fine tune” the signal in order to eliminate many of the problems associated with
measuring levels in an active process.
TN’s exclusive DSP software processes the microwave signal and converts it to
measurement information displayed in the readout. You can also program measurements
to drive alarms, or open and close switches. The alarms, user inputs, and selected outputs
are saved in non-volatile memory.

Warning: Do not locate the unit in any hazardous area other than those approved.
Follow all instructions on the installation drawings.
Do not apply power to the unit in any hazardous area unless the safety
ground is properly wired inside the unit and the cover is properly
installed. See Chapter 3 for installation wiring instructions.
Hazardous Location Installations: The cable entries must be sealed per
the Installation Layout Drawing (868502).
Non-Hazardous Location Installations: The cable entries into the
enclosure must be sealed with a compound to protect against the
passage of gas or vapors. The sealing compound should not be
affected by the surrounding atmosphere or liquids. The minimum
thickness of the sealing compound should be 5/8 in (16 mm).
Selecting a Location
Selecting a good location to mount the transmitter can ensure the accuracy and ease of
operation of your gauge.
Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when selecting a location for the Accu-Wave gauge:
1. The operating temperature range is –40ΟC to 70ΟC (–40ΟF to 158ΟF).
2. The sensor should be mounted above the smoothest portion of the process
material surface.
Accu-Wave Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
TN Technologies 2-3
3. There should be a clear path between the sensor and process material to avoid
false reflections. Verify that the path is clear of pipes, beams, or any intermittent
liquid sprays that could block the microwave beam. Also try to locate the sensor
to keep the beam path (approximately 18º wide) clear of the following:
− Turbulence, splashing, or waves such as those caused by filling,
recirculation, or sparging of light material entrances near the bottom of the
tank.
− Pipe entrances near the top or side of the tank.
− Agitator blade passing directly through the beam path. If this can not be
avoided, use the “agitator reject time” feature on the “Radar fine tuning”
menu, discussed in the Accu-Wave Operation Manual (717791).
− Vortices caused by baffles, drains, or any other obstructions.
4. The mounting location should also avoid horizontal structural surfaces such as
baffle support brackets, side wall joints, and so forth, because these surfaces
reflect a strong false signal. If this cannot be avoided, refer to the section “False
Echo Management” in Chapter 5 of the Operation Manual (717791).
5. If the vessel has a dome top, a good guideline is to mount the sensor away from
the vessel’s center point by at least 10% of the vessel diameter.
Note: If the sensor is mounted in the center of the vessel, the dome top will act as
a parabolic antenna, potentially enhancing “false” echoes due to multiple
reflections of the transmitted energy.
The tank’s nozzle must meet the following requirements.
1. Rod antennas: the internal diameter of the nozzle must be larger than 1 inch. For
best performance, the bottom of the stainless steel waveguide tube must be even
with the bottom of the nozzle or extend below the bottom of the nozzle.
2. Intrusive horn antennas: the internal diameter must exceed the horn diameter (3,
4, 6, or 8 inches). The nozzle must be free of burrs and other obstructions.
3. Process isolation horn antennas: The internal diameter of the nozzle section
needs to be the same along the length of the nozzle. The nozzle must be free of
weld beads, steps, burrs, or abrupt changes in nozzle diameter.
4. Nozzle must meet or exceed tank pressure requirements.
5. Align nozzle within 3º of vertical (verify this with a carpenter’s combination
level). Flange surface must be aligned within 3º of horizontal (verify this with a
carpenter’s combination level).
Dimensional Drawings
Refer to the appropriate drawings for the sensor mounting dimensions:
• Rod Antennas – refer to drawing 868656.
