SmartWave is a very accurate, low-noise pulse radar transmitter for distances up to 100 feet. It is designed to allow for the tracking of any material from the tip of the rod antenna to the bottom of the tank, regardless of the tank shape or environmental conditions. It is highly sensitive and reliable over time; any build up on the rod antenna does not deteriorate the performance of the radar probe. Its unique radar design eliminates problems when a target is close to the antenna, while also providing for optimal performance and accurate measurements.

It offers simple two-point, push-button calibration making it appropriate for a range of materials, having been proven in a variety of powder and bulk solid application and can also be used for other critical non-contact applications for food, beverages or chemicals. The SmartWave transmitter also features a low dialectic mode setting, which allows it to work with dielectrics around two and higher. SmartWave can accommodate output of a 4 to 20 mA signal and offers optional RS-232 or RS-485 connections, allowing it to be networked to other devices.
