L & J Engineering Radar Level Gauges

evo 2600 radar level gauge

The evo 2600 Radar Gauge is the latest product in L&J Engineering’s new evolution series of radar level gauges which are leading the industry with innovative new features and benefits not found in other products. The evo 2600 uses L&J’s latest and most technologically advanced radar technology to deliver 3mm Accuracy in a wide variety of applications at a competitive cost. The evo 2600 uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology operating in the 26GHz frequency band to ensure that it delivers both accuracy and reliability in a wide variety of level gauging applications. This technology is designed, tested and manufactured in the USA, ensuring high quality and reliable product.

MCG 1600SFI Smart Flash Infrared Radar Gauge

 

Dual Microprocessors

At the heart of the MCG 1600SFI is a high integration core microprocessor which can be customized to specific applications.  A separate DSP microprocessor provides high-speed measurement and algorithm processing for high accuracy, obstruction avoidance, self-calibration, and echo cancellation.  All programmed and processed information can be displayed on the gauge’s 32-character LCD as well as an optional ground level display.

Antennas

Years of experience have enabled L&J Engineering to provide the optimal antenna configuration for a given application. Four antenna designs, parabolic, cone, rod, and Stillwell, accommodate various process parameters which include surface conditions, height to measure, a dielectric constant of product and internal obstructions.

Inventory Management

The MCG 1600SFI Radar Gauge, which transmits level and temperature data, can be remotely accessed by a computer/receiver such as the MCG 3900 via the L&J Tankway. The product temperature is obtained by using an MCG 300 3-wire R.T.D. (copper or platinum), or an MCG 350/351 averaging temperature probe with an MCG 2350 which is connected to an onboard analog-to-digital converter. It is no longer necessary to climb to the top of the tank to access the desired information or perform any of the programming functions. Simple plug-in interface modules emulate any existing, as well as custom field protocols or analog outputs. New or updated programs can be downloaded to any MCG 1600SFI into its onboard flash memory “on the fly” to incorporate communication protocol changes and additional functionality.

Ground Level Display

The optional Ground Level Display (MCG 1350) is a remote LCD display which is identical in form and function to the display on the main unit. It enables complete programming and calibration functions via the hand-held infrared calibrator, MCG 2150.
