Abstract
A level meter and a method for monitoring the level meter operating according to the radar principle, in which a signal conductor is lead out of an inner space of a leakage chamber of a bracket housing through a process-side opening of the leakage chamber and/or of the bracket housing into the process-side outer space of the bracket housing. The method involves transmitting a signal in the form of a pulse along the signal conductor, receiving a reflected received signal, relaying the received signal to the control and evaluation unit. In addition to the simple verification of the presence of a leak, a change in the received signal can also be quantified by the frequency spectrum of the received signal being determined and monitoring of the level meter carried out in the frequency domain.
