EVO 2600

The evo 2600 Radar Level Gauge is designed for terminal managers, process automation engineers, compliance teams, and EPC project specifiers who require reliable level measurement across diverse tank conditions. The evo 2600 delivers precision, safety, and operational simplicity for modern tank gauging applications.

Unlike conventional pulse radar instruments, the evo 2600 uses Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology to achieve ±3 mm accuracy while maintaining stable measurements even in challenging conditions such as vapor, foam, or turbulence.

The system supports rapid commissioning through its e.CAL setup wizard and ground level infrared handheld calibration tools, allowing technicians to calibrate the instrument without climbing the tank.

With multi-protocol connectivity, rugged stainless-steel construction, and infrared calibration capability, the evo 2600 is designed for reliable operation in harsh environments ranging from cryogenic LNG storage to heated asphalt applications.

Whether used in new installations or retrofit upgrades, the evo 2600 delivers the accuracy, compliance, and ease of use required by modern industrial facilities while improving technician safety.

Features

FMCW Technology

Continuous 26 GHz FMCW radar provides stable, high-resolution readings with fewer false echoes in vapor, foam, or turbulent conditions.

High Accuracy

±3 mm accuracy minimizes reconciliation errors, improving shrinkage detection and ensuring dependable inventory and loss-control performance.

Wide Measurement Range

Measures up to 65 ft, supporting both process vessels and bulk storage tanks with consistent, repeatable level detection.

Extreme Temperature Tolerance

Electronics tolerate –40 °C to +66 °C and process connections handle –100 °C to +160 °C for cryogenic or heated fluids.

Flexible Protocol Support

Multiple outputs, including Tankway, Modbus, HART, and WirelessHART, simplify retrofit and integration without restrictive system lock-in.

Hazardous-Area Compliance

FM, ATEX, IECEx, and ABS approvals ensure safe, compliant installation across global hazardous and marine environments.

Applications

  • Chemical Storage: Ensures reliable readings in corrosive, viscous, or foamy liquids using antenna options designed for challenging product conditions.
  • Fuel & Oil Tanks: Maintains consistent level measurement in vapor-filled, floating-roof, or turbulent tanks where other technologies struggle.
  • Cryogenic Service: Handles LNG and other low-temperature liquids safely using a –100 °C process rating for stable non-contact measurement.
  • Heated Products: Supports asphalt and high-temperature fluids with process ratings up to 160 °C, ensuring dependable performance.
  • General Process Tanks: Provides non-contact measurement for powders, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, and food applications with low maintenance needs.
  • Bulk Solids & Slurries: FMCW radar penetrates vapors and light dust, delivering stable readings in applications with suspended particles or viscous mixtures.

What is FMCW radar and how does it benefit my operation?

−

FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar continuously sends a signal that sweeps through a range of frequencies. This provides a more stable and higher-resolution measurement than older pulse radar technology, resulting in fewer false echoes from foam, turbulence, or other challenging conditions. This translates to more reliable data and less manual intervention.

Can the EVO 2600 be used to upgrade an older system?

+

Yes, the evo 2600 supports a variety of communication protocols, including L&J Tankway, Modbus, and HART, which allows it to be a drop-in replacement for many legacy systems. This simplifies upgrades and reduces downtime.

How does the e.CAL setup wizard work?

+

The e.CAL wizard is a guided, menu-driven interface accessible through the MCG 2150 infrared calibrator. It walks a technician through the entire setup process, including basic configuration and tank mapping, in just minutes using only 5 steps. This reduces the time and training needed for commissioning, making the process faster and more reliable.

How does the EVO 2600 maintain accuracy in tanks with foam or vapor?

+

The 26 GHz FMCW radar uses continuous wave technology, which is more powerful and stable than pulse radar. It can effectively ignore small echoes caused by condensation or vapor and penetrate foam to measure the true liquid surface underneath, ensuring stable and reliable measurement.

Does the EVO 2600 support wireless communication?

+

Yes. The gauge supports multiple communication options, including WirelessHART, allowing it to be easily integrated into wireless plant networks for increased flexibility and reduced wiring costs.
