Microwave Sensor
MWS-24TX/RX
The MWS-24TX/RX type microwave sensor is a Level Switch which consists of a transmitter (MWS-24TX) and a receiver (MWS-24RX), installed face to face. The transmitter unit transmits a microwave beam which is received at the receiver unit. An output relay is released when the beam is obstructed.
The sensor has wide application across all areas of industry where highly reliable, non-contact level detection is required. The sensor is generally used for process control by monitoring presence/absence of product, flow/no flow conditions and point level detection in bins and silos. The sensor may also be used as a proximity switch for detection of vehicles such as dump trucks and rail cars.
Features
High penetration Unaffected by adverse environments Simple beam alignment Sensitivity margin indicators Selectable delay function Selectable hysteresis Easy adjustment Improved antivibration Specifications *1 : DC24V Type is optionally available. (Type MWS-24TX/RX-24V)
Easily penetrates process buildup on antenna, firebrick, refractory etc., thanks to the high penetrability.
The sensor is unaffected by surface contaminants, flames, steam, vapor or airborne particles.
Easy initial beam alignment at installation, due to the wide beam angle.
The sensitivity margins are indicated on the receiver by LEDs allowing for easy visual adjustment and maintenance of the sensor.
Either on-delay or off-delay function may be selected.
The hysteresis of the output relay can be decreased.
Only one sensitivity rheostat makes adjustment easier.Transmitter Receiver Type MWS-24TX MWS-24RX Power Supply ※1 AC100~120V or AC200~240V
