SICK LXRH Series Radar Level Sensor

Introduction – SICK LXRH Series Radar Level Sensor

The SICK LXRH Series Radar Level Sensor is engineered for precise, non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk materials in hygienic process environments. Designed specifically for the food and pharmaceutical industries, it delivers reliable, high-precision results even in challenging conditions such as condensation, foaming, or deposit-forming media. With its 80 GHz free-space radar technology, the sensor achieves exceptional accuracy of ±2 mm across a measuring range of up to 15 meters, ensuring dependable performance in tanks, vessels, and dosing systems.

Built with a hygienic design and FDA- and EHEDG-compliant sealing system, the LXRH Series minimizes contamination risks and allows CIP/SIP cleaning without disassembly. Its PEEK housing and EPDM seals provide excellent resistance to aggressive media, while the compact structure allows easy integration into tight process setups. The device’s plug-and-play commissioning requires no calibration, simplifying setup and reducing downtime.

Through IO-Link connectivity and optional WPAN wireless interface, users can conveniently parameterize and monitor the sensor via PC, tablet, or smartphone. The integrated 360° LED status indicator provides real-time visual feedback of operational states, even from a distance.

Available in the UAE and MENA region through Dubai Sensor, the LXRH Series offers an ideal solution for modern hygienic process control systems that demand reliability, accuracy, and compliance.
