Its robust design and cutting-edge capabilities make it ideally suited for industries that demand the highest standards of measurement accuracy and performance, especially in challenging or dynamic process conditions. Radar Technology with Advanced Internal Software Our radar sensors utilize microwave technology to provide non-contact, precise liquid level measurements. As a sensor subject, the radar level transmitter operates as a non-contact device that emits and receives high-frequency (80 GHz) signals, enabling precise level measurement even through tank lids. With advanced signal processing, they filter out interference from vapors, turbulence, and condensate, ensuring consistent accuracy. These sensors work by emitting high-frequency microwave pulses, measuring the time taken for reflections to return, and calculating liquid levels with exceptional precision. Icon’s radar level sensors feature robust construction with corrosion-resistant materials like PP, PVDF, and 316SS, making them ideal for harsh environments. They handle extreme temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and challenging conditions without compromising performance. With measurement ranges up to 10 meters, a resolution of 1 mm, and ±2 mm accuracy, these sensors suit applications from mini-bulk containers to large storage tanks. Advanced communication interfaces such as 4-20mA and RS485 ensure seamless integration with control systems for real-time monitoring and data analysis. Key Features The ICON LevelPro ProScan 3 Continuous Radar Level Transmitter is packed with features that set it apart in the field of industrial measurement. Its precise transmission signal focus ensures that only true level signals are detected, minimizing the impact of interference and maximizing measurement reliability. The transmitter is equipped with advanced internal software, offering simple control and seamless integration with third-party software platforms, making system upgrades and expansions straightforward.

It excels in level measurement within tanks and vessels, providing accurate monitoring of liquids, solids, and slurries. The transmitter is also well-suited for controlling pumps and valves, supporting efficient process automation and inventory management. Its robust measurement capabilities make it an ideal choice for tracking material quantities and ensuring precise process control across a variety of industries. How it Works The ICON LevelPro ProScan 3 operates by emitting focused microwave signals toward the surface of the material being measured. When these signals encounter the material, they are reflected back to the sensor, which then calculates the level based on the time it takes for the signal to return—a method known as time of flight. This approach, combined with a precise transmission signal focus, allows the transmitter to deliver accurate measurements even in tanks with challenging conditions inside, such as vapor, turbulence, or obstructions. The advanced internal software enables simple control and easy integration with third-party software, making it straightforward to incorporate the ProScan 3 into existing process control systems. Its capability to penetrate through the top lid of a tank further enhances its versatility, eliminating the need for additional fittings and making installation easier. This combination of innovative technology and user-friendly design makes the ProScan 3 a reliable and effective solution for industries requiring accurate and controlled level measurement.
