Ultimate reliability for everyone. 2 models from WIKA: filters, datasheet and quote request for each model.
The new ILT-C01 provides reliable level measurement in industrial applications. While other technologies reach their limits under demanding conditions, the radar sensor measures reliably and accurately, even in the event of dust, foaming or vibrations.
The compact ILT-C01 measures the level of liquids and solids with high precision in a variety of applications, for example in mobile working machines. With WIKA’s new level sensor there is no need for the hassle or cost of complex high-end solutions. Easy to implement. Easy to trust. Long service life.
With its combination of absolute reliability, cost-effectiveness and compact design, the ILT-C01 is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications.
A radar level sensor emits electromagnetic waves (microwaves) in the direction of the measured medium. The waves are reflected at the surface and received by the sensor. Based on the transit time, the sensor calculates the distance to the surface and derives the level. The ILT uses FMCW radar technology for precise measurements.
Radar level sensors work independently of temperature, pressure, vapour and dust. Unlike with ultrasound technology, they do not rely on sound waves, which can be affected by vapour for example. Radar technology offers higher accuracy, a greater range and is maintenance-free. The ILT measures reliably, even under difficult process conditions.
Yes, the ILT can measure through certain plastics. This requires a low dielectric constant (εr < 2) and low conductivity. Suitable materials include PTFE, PE, PP in thin wall thicknesses (1-5 cm). The plastic must be homogeneous. 3D-printed parts are unsuitable due to the honeycomb structure. Materials with εr > 2.5 reflect too much of the signal and are not suitable.
The ILT is suitable for level measurement of liquids and bulk materials with a dielectric constant εr > 2. Typical applications include hydraulic tanks, fuel tanks, water tanks, AdBlue tanks, oil tanks and silos. It is ideal for mobile machines, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles and stationary industrial plants.
Yes, the ILT has been specifically designed for mobile applications. Its benefits include the robust case, vibration resistance, a wide temperature range (-40 °C to +100 °C / 150 °C) and that it is insensitive to sloshing and motion. The signal smoothing suppresses interference from vehicle movements. That makes it ideal for construction machinery, agricultural machinery, trucks and mobile hydraulic systems.
