PiloTREK Pulse Burst Radar Level Transmitter

Brand: Nivelco Process Control Co.

The 25 GHz (K-band) PiloTREK Pulse Radars are regarded as the most progressive non-contact level transmitters of the industrial process automation field. 

Their accuracies are excellent and their short and narrow antennas make their installation simple and low cost. 

NIVELCO’s K-band radar featuring ±3 mm (0.12") accuracy and short dead band excels with its versatile housing concept lining up plastic, Aluminum and stainless steel versions. 

Its antenna range incorporates stainless steel horn or parabolic planar antenna and enclosed plastic tube varieties. The enclosed antenna versions can be replaced without removing the antenna enclosure from the process.

Local programming of the PiloTREK is aided by a plug-in display module. If on-site reading is not desired this module may not be required thus reducing cost of ownership.
