Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a True EchoTM series PRL or PRS Pulse Radar Level Transmitter from APG. We

appreciate your business! Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your True EchoTM Radar

Level Transmitter and this manual.

True EchoTM series Pulse Radar Level Transmitters bring the unassailably accurate level readings of radar

sensors to dicult to solids and liquids. Whether powders or pellets, grains or granules, the True EchoTM

PRS Dual Frequency Pulse Radar Level Transmitter For Solids quickly and accurately reads the complex

reections from piled solids. The True EchoTM PRL Pulse Radar Level Transmitter For Liquids comes with a

variety of housing and antenna materials, but all are IP68 for worry-free level measurement, All True EchoTM

sensors are eld calibratable and fully programmable via RS-232, RS-485 Modbus, or Hart communications.

Reading your label

Every APG instrument comes with a label that includes the instrument’s model number, part number, serial

number, and a wiring pinout table. Please ensure that the part number and pinout table on your label

match your order.
