Radar Level Gauge Receives ATEX Certification

L&J Technologies(USA) is pleased to announce that the L&J Engineering MCG 1600 SFI and MCG 1700 SFI Radar Level Gauges have received ATEX certification for equipment that is intended for use in potentially explosive environments. The radar gauges use the principles of non-contact frequency modulated continuous wave radar (FMCW) to accurately measure product level in tanks. At the heart of the L&J Radar Gauge is a high integration core microprocessor which can be customized to specific applications. A separate DSP microprocessor provides high speed measurement and algorithm processing for high accuracy, obstruction avoidance, self-calibration, and echo cancellation. All programmed and processed information can be displayed on the radar gauge’s 32-character backlit LCD display. Years of experience have enabled L&J to provide the optimal antenna configuration for a given application. Some antenna designs include parabolic, conical, and stilling well. Each accommodates various process parameters which include surface conditions, height to measure, dielectric constant of product, and internal obstructions.
