FIELD: measuring equipment.
SUBSTANCE: level gauge is proposed for detecting variable operating parameters related to the distance to surface (12) of the product contained in tank (10). Said gauge contains functionally independent first and second circuitry arrangements (2a, 2b), each of which contains a transceiver circuitry and a processor circuitry. In addition, the gauge has power divider (5), which ensures the presence of isolation between signals emitted in the same propagation mode, single wire transmission line probe (6) and matching arrangement (8) ensuring the presence of an electrically matched connection between electrical connection of process seal (7) and single wire transmission line probe (6). Further, a combination of a power divider with a matching arrangement allows multiple channels on one single wire transmission line probe.
EFFECT: development of a multi-channel transducer using a single wire transmission line probe, and also allowing to connect several measuring devices to a single wire transmission line probe, at the same time, to ensure sufficient independence between the blocks and, accordingly, sufficient isolation between the measuring devices when normal functioning is interrupted in one of the blocks.
