GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 25 GHz (K-band) PiloTREK Pulse Radars are regarded as the most progressive non-contact level transmitters of the industrial
process automation field. Their accuracies are excellent and their short and narrow antennas make their installation simple and low
cost. NIVELCO’s K-band radar featuring ±3 mm (0.12 inch) accuracy and short dead band excels with its versatile housing concept
lining up plastic, aluminium and stainless steel versions. Its antenna range incorporates stainless steel horn or parabolic planar antenna
and enclosed plastic tube varieties. The enclosed antenna versions can be replaced without removing the antenna enclosure from
the process. Local programming of the PiloTREK is aided by a plug-in display module. If on-site reading is not desired this module
may not be required thus reducing cost of ownership. The signal processing algorithm of the PiloTREK is based on NIVELCO’s
35 years of experience with non-contact level measurement making it an excellent choice for applications simple and challenging alike
