Model R82
is a loop-powered,
26 GHz, non-contact radar transmitter
that performs liquid level and volume
measurements in enclosed vessels.
The R82 offers high-performance at
an economical price point to reliably
measure out to a 40 foot (12 meter)
maximum range.
The Model R82 provides unsurpassed
ease of configuration with either the
menu-driven 4-pushbutton, 2-line
×
16-character display, HART digital
communications, or PACTware. This
allows complete configuration via the
local user interface, or remotely with
the added capability of capturing
echo waveforms, and viewing trend
data, diagnostic conditions and all
transmitter configuration parameters.

26 GHz microwave energy
are emitted and subsequently
reflected from the liquid
level surface.
