June 8, 2011 — L&J Engineering released the evo 2600 Radar Gauge. Compact in nature, the evo 2600 Radar Gauge is an easy to handle, highly reliable radar gauge that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology operating in the 26GHz frequency band to ensure that it delivers high quality precision with ±3 mm standard accuracy. The e.WAVE graphical LCD display provides an array of detailed information for the user including level, temperature, discrete status, and diagnostics.
In the case of special applications or circumstances, the e.WAVE display provides a graphical profile of the tank to ensure there are no unforeseen obstructions or intrusions in a level gauging applications. The e.WAVE will allow a user to fine tune the radar unit to cancel out disturbances in the tank.
All programmed and processed information can also be displayed on the radar’s e.WAVE display. The evo 2600 uses L&J’s e.CAL Intuitive Setup Wizard to assure setup of the radar gauge in minutes without violating explosion proof environments. The evo 2600 is configured via infrared technology by using the MCG 2150 Handheld Infrared Calibrator.
There is also an optional ground level display unit which allows a user to program and setup the radar gauge at ground level without having to climb the tank. By configuring the radar with the handheld infrared calibrator, there is no need to violate the explosion proof environment by removing the cover. The evo 2600 is designed, tested and manufactured in the USA to ensure a high quality and reliable product. With great communication options, the evo 2600 has the ability to support a variety of digital protocols and analog outputs which ensures compatibility and installation flexibility.
The evo 2600 Radar Gauge can be used in a number of applications including powder and bulk solids, petroleum, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, paraffin, molten sulfur, phosgene, latex, polyethylene, limestone rock, liquefied gases, etc. Years of experience have enabled L&J Engineering to provide optimal antenna configurations for different applications. Some antenna options for the evo 2600 include conical horn antenna and a parabolic antenna.
