Bindicator introduces the TDR-1000 Guided Wave Radar

Bindicator introduces the TDR-1000 Guided Wave Radar. The TDR-1000 provides continuous, non-mechanical, level measurement by means of low-power radar pulses that are guided along a stainless steel cable. The unit is well-suited for measuring the level of solids, granules, powders and liquids.

The TDR-1000 delivers accurate level measurement over a range of process conditions and is unaffected by dust, temperature, pressure, humidity or filling conditions.

Suitable for a variety of tank sizes and geometries, the device can be installed in new or existing vessels. The transmitter is two-wire loop powered with 24VDC input and with an output signal of 4-20 mA. The TDR-1000 does not require additional calibration beyond its initial setup. The unit is available with a stainless steel wave guide of up to 78 feet and is compliant with IP66 and NEMA 4X standards.
