971 SmartRadar LTi

storage tank measurement

The advanced radar for tank level

gauging with custody transfer accuracy

Benefits The new 971 SmartRadar LTi is the most advanced version within the Enraf SmartRadar
family. It completes the broad range of Enraf level gauges to provide fit for purpose
Highly performing non contact solutions for all thinkable level gauging applications in the area of liquid bulk storage.
measuring principle
The 971 SmartRadar LTi uses state of the art radar technology, supported by Enraf’s
Highest reliability and long term extensive tank gauging know how, to provide the performance required for accurate
stability level measurement on larger bulk storage tanks. The SmartRadar LTi complies with all
major tank gauging standards from API, ISO etc.
Optimized for easy service and
diagnostics The new Smart Echo Analysis signal processing results in highly reliable measurement,
even under the most difficult conditions. The SmartRadar LTi is capable of providing
Easy integration via field proven radar performance with the long term reliability and stability, required from the industry
communications standards as set by the Enraf servo instruments.

Modular design to simplify It’s modular design grants the efficient use of the SmartRadar LTi together with
operations other members of the Enraf level gauging family, using identical option boards and
antenna’s.
Complies to all major standards
For the standard communication, Enraf’s own robust and field proven Bi-Phase
Mark communication protocol is selected as being the market standard in field
communication in tank terminals. Advanced communication and service features even
further optimize the operation of this device compared to older generations.
ENRAF
Direct interfacing to third party systems can be realized using standardized
communication protocols suitable for tank gauging applications, such as HART® and
WE THINK TANK Modbus.
