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 accuracy and short dead band excels with its versatile housing concept lining up plastic, aluminium and stainless steel versions. Its antenna range incorporates planar, stainless steel horn or parabolic antenna and enclosed plastic tube varieties.

The enclosed antenna versions can be replaced without removing the antenna enclosure from the process. Local programming of 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 PiloTREK is based on NIVELCO’s 30 years of experience with non-contact level measurement making it an excellent choice for applications simple and challenging alike.
