5 Reasons Why Radar LevelSensors Are Better than
Radar level sensors are revolutionizing liquid measurement by overcoming foam, vapor, and turbulence challenges. Learn how Icon’s ProScan3 80GHz sensor delivers superior accuracy, reliability, Radar
TFS Series – Level Switch
The TFS Series is a vibrating type level switch for use in all liquid and slurry applications such as overflow, high, low, and demanding applications, as well as pump protection. The TFS Series is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used with liquids and slurries. With a tuning fork insertion length of only 45 mm (1.77″), the TFS switch can be mounted in small pipes and applications with confined space. The TFS Series can be used in difficult conditions including turbulence, air bubbles, and foam.

- What is a Radar Level Sensor?
A liquid level sensor operates by detecting the presence or absence of material or determining the level of material
within a container. This is achieved using various technologies like capacitance, ultrasonic waves, or, as in the case of
radar, by measuring the time taken for a signal to bounce back from the material surface. Level sensing can be contact
or non-contact-based, depending on the method employed. A radar level sensor is a device used to measure the level of
liquids, solids, or slurries in various challenging industrial applications. It utilizes radar technology to determine the
distance from the sensor to the surface of the material being measured.
