Dead zone
Non-measurement zone.
Dielectric constant
An electrical property of the product to be measured used in Radar 
measurement. Also known as εr, DK and relative permittivity. Defines the 
strength of the wave reflected back to the device's signal converter.
Distance
The distance from the face of flange to the level (1 product) or the surface 
of the top product (2 or more products). See the diagrams at the end of this 
section.
DTM
Device Type Manager. A driver for use in the PACTware™ program. All data 
and functions of the device are included in it.
Electromagnetic compatibility Defines how much a device influences or is influenced by other devices that 
generate electromagnetic fields during operation. Refer to European 
standard EN 61326-1 for further details.
FMCW
Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar technology. The signal is 
continuously present, but the frequency is modulated, usually in 
successive linear ramps over time (frequency sweeps).
Hazardous area
An area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Trained personnel can 
install and use a device in this area. The device must be ordered with the 
appropriate options. The device requires approvals (ATEX, IECEx, FM, CSA, 
NEPSI etc.) related to site specifications. You can find more data about 
hazardous areas in the Ex Manuals and Ex Certificates of Compliance.
Horn (cone) antenna
A common antenna for most applications. It is used for the controlled 
emission and collection of radar signals.
Interference signals
False radar reflections.
Level
Height from the bottom of the tank (user-defined) to the surface of the top 
product (Tank height – distance). See the diagrams at the end of this 
section.
Mass
Total mass of tank contents.
