EVO 2600 — Radar Level Gauge

Overview

EVO 2600

Terminal managers, process automation engineers, compliance teams, and EPC project specifiers need reliable measurement across diverse tanks and conditions. For them, the evo 2600 radar level gauge is designed to deliver precision, accuracy, safety, and simplicity across various tank conditions.

Unlike conventional pulse radar instruments, the EVO 2600 uses frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology to achieve ±3 mm accuracy, stable measurement in vapor, foam, or turbulence, and quick, safe ground level commissioning via its e.CAL setup wizard and IR handheld calibration tools.

It features infrared handheld calibration, multi-protocol connectivity, and a robust stainless-steel design, ensuring long-term reliability in the harshest environments — from cryogenic LNG tanks to heated asphalt service.

Whether for new projects or retrofit upgrades, the EVO 2600 provides the accuracy, compliance, and usability modern facilities demand — all while keeping technicians safely on the ground.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
