OPTIWAVE 8300 C Marine

The OPTIWAVE 8300 C Marine is a heavy duty 24 GHz FMCW cargo level radar engineered to withstand the extreme, violent conditions of marine vessel transit. As a fully stand-alone unit featuring an integrated touch screen, it provides reliable, redundant ullage indication. It is completely non-contacting, utilising a robust high-pressure seal to separate the electronics from highly volatile or sticky cargo vapours.

Key Applications of OPTIWAVE 8300 C:

Specifically engineered for marine shipping vessels. Ideal for cargo tank ullage indication, handling contaminating liquids, and providing critical data during rough sea conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the OPTIWAVE 8300 C protect against cargo vapours?

The transmitter is separated from the tank environment by a heavy-duty high-pressure seal approved to 16 Bar. Radar waves transmit safely through this seal, allowing completely non-contacting measurement.

Can I service the OPTIWAVE 8300 C without opening the cargo tank?

Yes, it supports closed-tank service. The isolation provided by the high-pressure seal means you can safely clean or service the transmitter components without opening the tank to the atmosphere.

What is the best antenna for sticky cargo liquids?

The solid Drop antenna is best for sticky cargo. Its construction makes it highly resistant to product build-up, avoiding the sedimentation problems common inside traditional horn antennas.

Does the OPTIWAVE 8300 C require an external control panel?

No, it does not require an external panel. It is a fully stand-alone unit equipped with an integrated touchscreen for easy, direct on-deck interaction.

Is the OPTIWAVE 8300 C approved for maritime use?

Yes, it carries extensive maritime approvals. It is certified by major IACS bodies including DNV, ABS, GL, LR, and BV.
