The most cutting-edge non-contact level transmitters for industrial process automation are the 25 GHz (K-band) PiloTREK Pulse Radars. Their installation is straightforward and inexpensive, and they have remarkable accuracy because to their short, slender antennas. The K-band radar boasts an accuracy of 3 mm (0.12 inch) and a short dead band, which shines thanks to its adaptable housing design that includes variants in plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel. Its antenna selection includes variants of enclosed plastic tubes and parabolic planar antennae made of stainless steel. 

The enclosed antenna versions can be changed without stopping the operation to remove the antenna enclosure. The PiloTREK's local programming is made easier by a plug-in display module. This module may not be necessary if on-site reading is not preferred, lowering ownership costs. The PiloTREK's signal processing algorithm is built on NIVELCO's 35 years of experience with non-contact level monitoring, making it a great choice for both straightforward and complex applications.
