Product Introduction

SM MARINE SERVICE™ (https://www.smmarineservice.com/) supplies this Autronica / Kongsberg radar tank gauge level sensing unit with its round transmitter PCB and Sivers IMA SU7636X/01 microwave module. Units of this design are used in the Autronica GL-90 / GL-100 / GL-120 tank level gauging systems installed on oil product and chemical tankers, which are today supported by Kongsberg Maritime.

What Is This Equipment?

The level sensing unit is mounted on top of the cargo tank. Its microwave transmitter sends a narrow radar beam (about 10 GHz centre frequency for the GLA-100, as published) through the antenna to the liquid surface. The reflected signal returns to the receiver, and the distance (ullage) is calculated. The result is sent to the signal processing unit (GLK-100) and to the cargo control room.

Main Features

  • Non-contact radar level measurement
  • Sivers IMA microwave oscillator module with SMA coaxial connections
  • Round main transmitter/receiver PCB with 12 MHz reference
  • Robust stainless steel flanged housing with O-ring seal
  • Designed for tanker cargo tanks

Inside the Unit: PCBs, Modules & Part Numbers

Sivers IMA SU7636X/01 – Microwave Oscillator Module

Shielded microwave source/transceiver module connected by semi-rigid coaxial cables. Label: 1,0 GHz, S/N 83224. Exact frequency band of this module: not verified.

Main Radar Transmitter / Receiver PCB (round)

Round PCB with analogue signal processing, logic ICs, trimmers and a 12 MHz reference section. Board marking partly readable ("GLD-91 SIDE B") – not verified.

Semi-rigid Coaxial Cables & SMA Connectors

Connect the microwave module to the PCB and antenna feed.

Antenna / Feeder

Planar microwave antenna below the electronics (as published for GLA-100); not shown in the photos.

Main Components & Related Units

  • Autronica GLA-100 Level Sensing Unit
  • Autronica GLK-100 Signal Processing Unit
  • Autronica GL-90, GL-100 and GL-120 level gauging systems
  • Kongsberg K-Gauge CLS 600 – upgrade solution for GL-90 / GL-100 / GL-120
  • Newer Kongsberg radar gauges: GLA-300/P, GLA-310 with GLK-300 SPU

Marine & Industrial Applications

  • Cargo tank ullage/level measurement on oil product tankers
  • Chemical tankers and slop tanks
  • Ballast and service tanks with radar gauging
  • Cargo control room tank monitoring systems

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

  • No reading / gauge failure on display: check supply and the cable to the signal processing unit.
  • Unstable or wrong level: check antenna cleanliness, tank internals and calibration values.
  • Weak echo: check microwave module and coaxial cables / SMA connectors.
  • Moisture inside housing: replace O-ring and dry the unit.

Safety note: the unit is installed in hazardous (Ex) areas on tankers. Follow gas-free and permit-to-work rules, isolate power and keep the Ex protection intact. Calibration must follow the maker's procedure.

Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect housing seals and cable glands regularly.
  • Keep the antenna clean.
  • Record calibration values (see calibration sticker) and keep them on board.
  • Keep spare transmitter electronics in anti-static packing.

Spare Parts & Replacement Availability

SM MARINE SERVICE™ can supply this radar tank gauge level sensing unit and help source Autronica / Kongsberg GL-series parts. For a quotation send the gauge model, system type (GL-90 / GL-100 / GL-120), nameplate and PCB photos, quantity and delivery port. We ship worldwide.

Why This Equipment Is Still Used

Many tankers still run Autronica GL-series gauging. Replacing a single level sensing unit or its electronics is much cheaper than a full system upgrade.
