The dBR radar series of transducers from Pulsar Measurement is a range of Radar level sensors that are ideal for difficult applications such as high temperatures, applications subject to foam or atmospheric changes, or applications with harsh chemicals that give off vapors. 

Radar level sensors from Pulsar Measurement are complimentary to the Ultrasonic range of sensors and gives end users a complete choice of technology based on the needs of their application. 

Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) processing enables our radar level sensors to have a strong signal-to-noise ratio and excellent resolution, giving the sensors significant advantages over pulsed radar systems. Featuring unique digital echo processing technology from Pulsar Measurement, our range of radar level sensors are able to 'zone in' on the true level, and keep focused on the correct echo - even when there is competing noise in the measurement path. 

Independently MCERTS Certified

Ultra 4 and dBR8 Radar Level Sensor (CSA MC250379/00)

Class 1 accuracy with the combined performance characteristics as follows:

0.02% (Class 1)

Certification Range:

0 - 8 metres

The dBR radar series of level sensors are suitable for chemical level measurement, tank level measurement, industrial level monitoring, hazardous applications, applications with high atmospheric changes, high-temperature applications, or applications subject to foam. 

All level sensors from Pulsar Measurement are retrofittable to all Pulsar Measurement Controllers, so whenever your application needs to change, your control system can change with you at a minimal cost.
