ESTEEMED PARTNER!
NIVELCO has established and maintained a leading and respected world market position, and in the past more than 3 and a half decades has sold almost
1 million units of level instrumentation. We are proud that NIVELCO is represented on the markets of many countries of the world through its subsidiaries
and distributors, and in a number of industrial segments our devices are used with satisfaction.
Our company is committed to establishing long-term, trusted and successful business relationships. We know
that besides getting an excellent value for your money, there are other key factors that matter to our clients
such as quality, guarantee and business reliability. This can only be provided through high performance,
quality products and services. In 2010, we introduced our 3-year full warranty for our products instead of the
previous 2-year warranty term. Thanks to the conscious quality policy that NIVELCO is committed to, our
quality indicators have shown excellent results and positive changes since then.
We are therefore pleased to announce that from 2018 onwards, instead of the present 3 years, uniquely
in the industry we provide 5 years of warranty for most of the NIVELCO instruments!
We are confident that our decision will further strengthen
the confidence in our company and our products.
Tamás Szőllős
THE STORY OF A FAMILY VENTURE
After training as an engineer in the “ITT Standard” telephone company, in 1939 Endre Szőllős started his
own business designing and producing telephone systems for business and industry. While the World
War II did not provide an easy period for Endre and his colleagues, the business grew and provided good
training for his sons. Following their University courses in electrical engineering and economics respectively,
Tamás and András Szőllős were able to lead the company forward, after the early death of Endre in 1969.
By 1982, the production of a series of industrial controllers had led to a developing specialisation in level measurement
and control: and NIVELCO was founded. In 1989, when International trade from
Hungary became straightforward, NIVELCO had a full, proven level control
product range and capability, backed by well established in-house manufacturing
and engineering facilities. In 1989 the NIVELCO launch of the World’s first
“Compact” ultrasonic level transmitter had a major impact, offering a combined
sensor / transmitter in one unit, leading the world market.
NIVELCO took the opportunity offered by these newly available export markets, and opened trading relationships
with various identified distributors and sales agents. Building on existing sales links into neighbouring countries,
NIVELCO also invested in their own sales organisations and offices in Austria and Poland, and then later in the
Czech Republic, Romania and Russia. Our success in these ventures demonstrates that by maintaining our business
principles, expertise and specialist skills, NIVELCO can compete successfully with the best suppliers to the industry,
by providing:
■ Wide range of products to suit all applications
■ Investment in advanced technology expertise
and high quality product development
■ High specification quality management and control
systems
■ Worldwide marketing, sales and service support
■ Fast, flexible in-house production and customer
order logistics
■ Company-wide IT System to provide full product
design and production data
■ Fair, modest pricing, ensuring the capital for
future customer support and development
■ Continuing investment in our people and their
working relationships
Despite that in today’s globalised world, the multinational giants – set up for mass production – can rule the market, there are many medium-size companies
who specialise in satisfying customer needs, and manufacture products with high intellectual added value. The achievements of NIVELCO demonstrate that
flexible, customer-led medium-size companies can find their place in the market and maintain their independence.

THE HEADQUARTERS
From cramped beginnings in 1982, with 15 employees occupying 150 m2 in Budapest, NIVELCO has
invested in extensive facilities capable of total control of the production requirement. In the year 2000,
a further expansion to the new factory created a capacity of 10 000 m2, giving significant space for future
development: this is currently allocated to the NIVELCO Trade Center, and some associated activities.
In the currently unused factory areas, the NIVELCO Trade Center provides leased space to host headquarters
for other companies. NIVELCO engineering, manufacture and production is exclusively in Hungary: the
other subsidiaries deal only with sales and marketing activities, plus consulting, installation and service.
The modern air-conditioned factory and excellent working conditions ensure a neat and tidy environment,
and create the right conditions for producing good quality work.
PRODUCTION
NIVELCO has invested heavily in the best production machinery available, with all aspects of the required production
being undertaken in the factory. Here, computer-controlled CNC machining centres, as well as surface mount electronics
production facilities and fume extraction, make a clean and efficient unit. The investment is driven using a global IT system
for production control and logistics. In this way NIVELCO maintains total control over the build, and has achieved quality
management system approval to ISO9001. All production output is tested using automatic systems, heat-soaked and
cycled where needed in special test chambers.

EXPORT MARKETING
Doing some business with East Bloc countries was what we had as export in the 80’s, when NIVELCO was
formed: the East Bloc was still its old self and markets were closed. Nevertheless NIVELCO was an export
driven company, and almost a decade later, in 1990, we were able to show our muscles to the world for the
first time. This was the beginning of NIVELCO’s export success. Twenty years later, exporting more than
80% of its production, NIVELCO has now proved itself to be an export oriented company. Covering over
65 countries through our own subsidiary companies and through distributors, our products reach almost
all world markets. To aid distributors and our own subsidiaries, regular
training programmes are organised in order for their staff to keep up
with technology driving NIVELCO’s high tech instruments. Sales meetings
held annually provide a vehicle for information transfer and for an exchange
of ideas between people from all over the world. When our dealers participate in international exhibitions, they are supported
with operational models, exhibition accessories and experts. With the success seen with the NIVELCO non-European
subsidiaries (like USA, Russia and India), there is the strong intention to open further similar subsidiaries in the near future.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
LEVEL TRANSMITTERS
The 25 GHz (K-band) PiloTREK Pulse Radars are regarded as the most progressive non-contact level transmitters of the industrial process automation field. Their accuracies are excellent
and their short and narrow antennas make their installation simple and low cost. NIVELCO’s K-band radar featuring ±3 mm accuracy and short dead band excels with its versatile housing
concept lining up plastic, aluminium and stainless steel versions. Its antenna range incorporates stainless steel horn or parabolic antenna and enclosed plastic tube varieties. The enclosed
antenna versions can be replaced without removing the antenna enclosure from the process. Local programming of the PiloTREK is aided by a plug-in display module. If on-site reading
is not desired this module may not be required thus reducing cost of ownership. The signal processing algorithm of the PiloTREK is based on NIVELCO’s 30 years of experience with non-
contact level measurement making it an excellent choice for applications simple and challenging alike.

OPERATION
The operation of the non-contact microwave level transmitters is based on the measurement of the time of flight of the microwave burst. The propagation speed of
microwave impulses is practically the same in air, gases and in vacuum, independently from the process temperature and pressure, so the measured distance is not affected
by the physical parameters of medium to be measured. The level transmitter induces microwave impulses a few nanosecond long in the antenna and a part of the energy
of the emitted signals is bounced (reflected) back from the measurement surface depending on the measured media. The time of flight of the reflected signal is measured and
processed by the electronics, and then this is converted to distance, level or volume proportional data. The measurability of the level of a specific medium is depending on the signal
strength of the reflected microwave impulses. The signal strength of the reflected impulses is considerably depending on the distance to be measured, the relative dielectric constant
of the measured medium and the turbulence of the surface. The relative dielectric constant (εr) of the medium should be more than 1.4 in case of parabolic design, or it should be
more than 1.9 with horn antenna types.

PROGRAMMING, ECHO MAP
With the help of the SAP-300 plug-in display a simplified full-parameter programming can be
accomplished, the parameters of measurement and output can be set using the text-based menu system.
The large LCD dot-matrix display displays the measured values in numerical and bar graph form. The Echo
Map feature helps to detect false reflections and aids the optimization of the measurement configuration.
MOUNTING
To avoid unwanted multiple reflections the instrument should not be mounted in the middle of the tank or in the vicinity of the filling place or the
outlet of the tank. The ideal position for the PiloTREK is on the r = (0.3 – 0.5) R in case of cylindrical tank. The distance between the sensor
and the tank wall should be at least 200 mm. The mounting placement should be as far as possible from the disturbing objects inside the tank
and from the sources of disturbing effects such as waving, vortex or strong vibrations. The antenna face should be parallel to the medium surface
within ±2 – 3°. To avoid overheating the instrument should be protected against direct sunshine.
PiloTREK TRANSMITTERS IN SYSTEM WITH A PC WHS-18
The instruments with HART® output can be connected to a PC using a UNICOMM HART-USB modem. Max. 15 normal (non-Ex) instruments
can be connected to a single HART® loop. All measured values can be visualized and/or the instruments can be remote programmed via
digital HART® communication. Applicable software: EView2 configuration software or NIVISION process visualization software.
HART
PiloTREK TRANSMITTERS IN HART MULTIDROP LOOP
The MultiCONT can handle digital data coming from HART® capable NIVELCO transmitters (e.g. level, temperature, pressure, pH, dissolved oxygen, etc.). The digital (HART®)
information is processed, displayed and transmitted via RS485 communication line to a PC when needed. Remote programming of the transmitters is also possible. Visualisation
on PC can be accomplished with NIVISION process visualisation software.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
LEVEL TRANSMITTERS
The MicroTREK Guided Wave Radar level transmitter is designed for continuous level measuring of conductive or non-conductive
liquids, pulps and solids. MicroTREK level gauge operates based on the well-known TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) principle.
Micropulses are sent along a probe guide at the speed of light. As soon as the impulse reaches the surface of the medium, it is
reflected back to the electronic module. Level distance is directly proportional to the flight time of the impulse.
The reflected signal is dependent on the dielectric constant of the material, the feasibility of the measurement is er ≥ 1.4.
The TDR technology is unaffected by the properties of the medium as well as that of the space above it. Measurement is also
unaffected by the change in the physical properties of the materials such as temperature, pressure, dielectric constant.
