Honeywell EM940 Marine Radar
Accurate and reliable tank level measurement is essential for safe cargo handling, efficient vessel operations, and effective tank management. The Honeywell EM940 Radar Type Level Gauge is an advanced marine-approved radar level measurement solution designed specifically for liquid tank applications on ocean-going tankers.
SWIFT MARINE TECH SERVICES PTE LTD provides professional marine instrumentation solutions and technical support for shipowners, ship managers, marine operators, and offshore industries requiring reliable marine tank gauging systems, radar level gauges, and cargo tank monitoring solutions.
Advanced Radar Technology for Marine Tank Measurement
The EM940 uses advanced FMCW 10 GHz radar technology and an electronically shaped radar beam with a planar antenna design. Unlike conventional radar level sensors that may use mechanical lenses or horn antennas, the EM940’s planar antenna technology is designed to support reliable measurement and simplified maintenance.
With a measurement range of 600 mm to 42,000 mm, 1 mm resolution, and instrument accuracy of ±3 mm, the EM940 provides precise tank level measurement for demanding marine applications.
Honeywell identifies the EM940 as a marine-approved radar gauge for free-space level measurement inside cargo tanks on oceangoing vessels, supporting reliable and continuous marine tank gauging.
The EM940 is designed for measuring liquid media such as hydrocarbons, chemicals, and bitumen. Its smart radar technology provides accurate, non-contact tank level measurement while also supporting the transmission of tank level, pressure, and temperature information to centralized monitoring systems.
Key Features of the Honeywell EM940 Radar Level Gauge
- Marine-approved radar level measurement solution
Designed for marine cargo tank applications, the EM940 supports reliable level measurement in tanker environments. - Non-contact liquid level measurement
The radar measures level without touching the liquid, helping reduce wear, contamination, and maintenance needs. - FMCW 10 GHz radar technology
This advanced radar method provides stable and accurate measurement performance for tank gauging. - Measurement range from 600 mm to 42,000 mm
The wide range allows the gauge to be used in different tank sizes and cargo tank configurations. - 1 mm measurement resolution
Fine resolution helps operators monitor tank level changes with greater precision. - Instrument accuracy of ±3 mm
High accuracy supports dependable cargo control and better measurement confidence. - Operating accuracy of ±5 mm
This ensures consistent performance during normal operating conditions. - Integrated inert gas pressure transmitter
The built-in pressure transmitter adds extra monitoring capability from the same instrument. - Automatic radar self-test during power-up
The gauge checks itself at startup to confirm proper operation before use. - Automatic antenna fouling detection
This feature helps identify buildup on the antenna that could affect measurement quality. - Antenna FEP protection
The FEP protection layer helps shield the antenna from harsh cargo and marine conditions. - Self-diagnosis and self-monitoring capabilities
These functions help detect faults early and support reliable long-term operation. - Remote configuration capability
Operators can adjust settings remotely, making setup and maintenance more convenient. - Support for additional PT100 temperature inputs
This allows temperature data to be included for improved tank condition monitoring. - Additional analog input options
Extra input channels provide flexibility for integrating other measurement signals. - EMS communication protocol
The communication protocol supports integration with marine monitoring and control systems. - IP66/IP67 protection
This protection rating helps the instrument withstand dust, water, and harsh marine exposure. - SS316L stainless steel housing
The corrosion-resistant housing is suitable for demanding marine and tanker environments. - IECEx and ATEX intrinsic safety approvals
These approvals support safe use in hazardous areas where flammable cargoes may be present.
Integrated Tank Monitoring Capabilities
The EM940 is more than a conventional tank level sensor. The system is designed to transmit important tank measurement information to a centralized communication and monitoring interface.
Depending on the vessel’s configuration, the system can support monitoring of:
- Tank level
- Inert gas pressure
- Temperature inputs
- Analog measurement inputs
The integrated inert gas pressure transmitter provides additional measurement capability from a single instrument, helping support centralized monitoring and improved visibility of tank conditions.
Reliable Performance in Marine Conditions
Marine tank gauging equipment must operate reliably under demanding environmental conditions. The EM940 is specified for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, with product temperatures up to +200°C with special mounting features. The instrument has a maximum pressure rating of 1 bar and an IP66/IP67 protection class.
Its SS316L stainless steel housing provides a robust construction suitable for demanding marine environments.
Safety and Certification
Safety is a critical requirement for equipment installed in hazardous marine environments. The EM940 carries IECEx and ATEX intrinsic safety approvals, with the datasheet specifying II 1 (1) G and EEx ia [ia] IIB or IIC T4 approval information.
The EM940 is also designed to comply with certification rules and regulations issued by international classification societies, supporting its use in marine tank gauging applications.
Designed for Demanding Marine Applications
The Honeywell EM940 Radar Level Gauge is suitable for marine tank applications involving various liquid cargoes and challenging operating conditions.
