Channel River Radar Water Level Sensor Support Remote Debug KLD801

1. Product Overview
KLD80 series products are frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar products operating at 76-81GHz, supporting four-wire and two-wire applications. There are multiple models, the maximum range of the product can reach 120m, and the blind area can reach 8cm. Because of its higher operating frequency and shorter wavelength, it is especially suitable for solid-state applications. The working method of transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves through a lens has unique advantages in high dust and harsh temperature environments (+200°C). The instrument provides flange or threaded fixing, which makes the installation convenient and easy.

The main advantages of KLD80 series FM radar level meter are as follows:

• Based on the self-developed CMOS millimeter-wave radio frequency chip, it realizes a more compact radio frequency structure, a higher signal-to-noise ratio, and a smaller dead zone.
• The 5GHz operating bandwidth enables the product to have higher measurement resolution and measurement accuracy.
• The narrowest 3° antenna beam angle, the interference in the installation environment has less impact on the instrument, and the installation is more convenient.
• Shorter wavelengths and better reflection properties on solid surfaces.
• Support remote debugging and remote upgrade, reduce waiting time and improve work efficiency.
• Support mobile phone Bluetooth debugging, convenient for on-site personnel maintenance work.

Communication and debugging
The instrument can be debugged through LDM in the field, and can also be debugged on the PC side with the optional host computer software. The connection between the meter and the PC is as follows:
to communicate with:
1. USB to RS485 serial cable (four-wire system);
2. USB to TTL serial cable (two-wire system);
3. USB to Hart-modem (two-wire system) for communication.
4. Through the mobile phone Bluetooth debugging, the on-site debugging is safer and more convenient.
5. 4G network, remote debugging through remote module.

5. Installation
Two points for installation:
(1) Align the target material level to ensure that it is perpendicular to the material level plane;
(2) Avoid false echoes. See the following points for typical working conditions.
● Ensure that there are no interfering objects, such as ladders and steps, within the beam range.

Figure 5 – 1 Schematic Diagram of Instrument Installation Position

● The instrument installation shall ensure that the antenna beam avoids the feed inlet, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Figure 5 – 2 Antenna beam avoiding feed inlet

● The instrument shall be installed at least 20cm away from the vessel wall, otherwise it is likely to produce wrong readings, as shown in Figure 5-3.
Remarks: The liquid measurement installation spool should be perpendicular to the ground.

● The solid cone container shall ensure that the beam is directed at the tank bottom as much as possible, otherwise the measurement results at the tank bottom may be inaccurate, as shown in Figure 5-4.

Figure 5 – 4 The conical tank shall ensure that the beam is directed at the tank bottom as far as possible.

In four wire system application, 4-20mA analog output is two separate terminals except 24V power supply terminal. At the same time, the four wire system also provides 485 output terminals, which is convenient for connection and debugging with PC or the site requiring 485 interface.

In the two-wire system application, in addition to the traditional power supply terminal (4-20mA output), the instrument also has a serial communication terminal, which is convenient to connect with the current mainstream IOT equipment or transparent transmission equipment for remote control and debugging.
