TDR400/M
Continuous guided level radar
with integrated cellular 4G (LTE-M) modem
with integrated cellular 4G (LTE-M) modem
Product description
The Battery powered Guidense TDR400M with embedded cellular 4G modem operating independent from any local infrastructure: No hassle with cabling for power or IT- managers regarding security for their local network: just install the TDR400M and unlock the inventory data in order to reduce costs by optimizing delivery schedules, eliminating over-shipments, reshipments, run outs, emergency deliveries and downtime.
Advantages
- Complete remote level monitoring solution for tanks, silos, containers, cans, bins, drums, vessels etc. etc.
- Save traveling time to take readings, anticipate and respond effectively to demands from remote site.
- The level data sent by the TDR400M can be used to add multiple functionalities, e.g. alerts & alarms, inventory management, forecasting, route planning, data visualization and analysis.
- Versatile applicable for liquids, solids, powders, refined-, edible-, recyclable oils and fats, lye’s, suspensions, slurries, sludges etc.
- Integrated cellular 4G modem (LTE-Cat 1 or LTE-M with Quad-band GPRS fall- back)
- Battery powered by only 6 AA-batteries.
- Lifetime of the batteries more than 4 years at an update rate of every 3 hours (8 times per 24 hours) or over 6 years at 2 updates per 24 hours.
Features
- Technology based on the proven Guidense TDR level sensor platform e.g. with analogue (4...20mA) output.
- 3 Probe types: single rod probe (shown), wire rope probe and a coaxial probe.
- Accurate continuous level measurement from 100 mm up to 20.000 mm measuring height or range.
- Highly robust measurement, innovative signal analysis and DSS Disturbance Signal Suppression.
- Very limited (mechanical) mounting and installation instructions.
- No influences caused by tank/vessel internals outside a radius of 100 mm from probe.
- Remote analysis and configuration.
- Can transmit data to any database, (I)IoT sensor platform, including the ProcessMonitor Cloud-Portal.
- GPS optional available.
- Weatherproof IP67 enclosure.
Applications
- Suitable in almost every liquid and solids - independent of changing process conditions, such as density, conductivity, temperature, pressure, vapor and turbulence.
- All types of process and storage tank applications and has an exceptional performance in media with low dielectric constant (i.e. low reflectivity) such as oils and hydrocarbons.
- The Guidense TDR100/M has almost no installation restrictions - it can be mounted in small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles and it measures precisely even with difficult tank geometries or close to interfering structures.
Communication specifications
Cellular modem (embedded)
- 4G LTE Cat. 1 modem Europe or North America LTE-M with Quad-band GPRS fall-back
- Other standards (CDMA, 3G, NBIoT) possible upon request
- SIM card and/or data plan not included
- Is included with use of ProcessMonitor Cloud-Portal
Antenna
Enclosure-mounted or external with cable adapter and extension, depending on field strength of the available cellular network at remote location (e.g. in- or outdoors).
Configuration
Through local USB port on TDR device, using an easy and straightforward configuration tool (supplied) or remotely via the cellular network connection
The intervals for level measurements and data transmission can be adjusted independently of each other.
Connectivity
JSON files by HTTP(S)
