Local manufacturing in Dubai helps address these operational needs by supporting: Faster delivery for project and MRO requirements Complete solutions packaged with Magnetic Level Indicators (MLIs) Reduced logistics complexity and freight costs Improved access to spare parts and service Closer collaboration with regional application specialists Consistent performance and standards Eclipse Model 706 units produced in Dubai are manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as those produced globally. This includes compliance with Safety Integrity Level (SIL) requirements and hazardous location approvals. Designed for demanding applications The Eclipse Model 706 Guided Wave Radar transmitter is used in applications requiring reliable level and interface measurement under challenging process conditions. The technology supports stable measurement in environments affected by vapor, foam, coating, and changing media properties. The 706’s best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio, advanced diagnostics including build-up detection, and overfill‑capable probe designs support reliable level measurement and provide visibility into process conditions, helping operators maintain control and respond to application changes. Supporting regional customers With the Eclipse Model 706 now manufactured in Dubai, AMETEK LMS extends its regional operations to include Guided Wave Radar solutions. Customers in the MEIA region can connect directly with the Dubai team for quotations, project discussions, and application support.

AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions (LMS) is pleased to announce that the E4 Modulevel® Liquid Level Displacer Transmitter is now Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 Certified. Building on years of successful installations and accumulated operating hours in demanding process applications, the E4 Modulevel has achieved SIL 2 certification based on real-world performance. This milestone reinforces the E4 as a trusted, field-proven solution for critical level measurement in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). The E4 Modulevel combines proven buoyancy technology with modern microprocessor-based electronics, delivering stable, reliable performance across a wide range of process conditions, including turbulence, foam, boiling, and interface measurement. E4T: Transmitter-only upgrade for legacy Modulevel installations A key benefit of the E4 Modulevel platform is the Model E4T transmitter-only option, which allows customers to retrofit existing Modulevel displacer assemblies with the latest high-performance electronics without shutting down their process. This provides a fast, cost-effective path to modernization and SIL compliance without replacing the entire instrument: Upgrade only the transmitter while retaining the existing displacer assembly to reduce cost and downtime compared to full instrument replacement Intuitive local user interface and updated HART 7 digital communications platform Enhanced diagnostics capabilities with graphical DTM for use with PACTware and NAMUR NE 107 diagnostics coverage For customers looking to bring legacy installations up to today’s safety standards, the E4T is a compelling solution. Watch the E4T retrofit video to see how easily existing installations can be upgraded. E4 Modulevel Liquid Level Displacer Transmitter As a reminder, many of our existing level transmitters and switches are considered SIL suitable with an FMEDA report or a Declaration of Conformity, which may be acceptable for most applications. However, Emergency Shutdown (ESD) safety loops that are part of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS) may require Systematic Capability achieved through the certification process. We look forward to the new opportunities that having a certified device will create across industries requiring enhanced safety and reliability. If there are any questions related to E4 SIL certification, please reach out to us.  

Bulk solids level measurement rarely happens under ideal conditions. Dust in the vapor space, uneven material surfaces, and changing fill behavior are common realities across industries such as mining, chemicals, food, agriculture, and building materials. In these environments, accuracy alone does not define success. Engineers are often challenged by the amount of intervention required to keep measurements stable and trustworthy. Long commissioning times, repeated alignment efforts, and ongoing troubleshooting can place pressure on uptime and operational confidence. Over time, expectations with respect to level measurement have shifted. Customers increasingly look for solutions that are not only accurate, but also practical to apply and maintain. Technologies that simplify commissioning, reduce manual intervention, and provide clear diagnostic insight help teams spend less time adjusting instruments and more time running the process. Our AMETEK LMS Magnetrol branded Pulsar Model R80 with solids measurement antenna. Radar has become a preferred technology for many bulk solids applications because it is not dependent on product density or changing material properties in the same way as some contact-based methods. However, not all radar solutions perform equally well in the presence of dust, buildup, and dynamic filling. These conditions can introduce uncertainty if signal focus, configuration, or diagnostics are limited.   Recent advances in high frequency FMCW radar, antenna designs, and configuration tools are helping address these challenges. Narrower beam angles support focused measurement in vessels with uneven surfaces or internal structures. Strong signal quality provides additional margin in dusty environments. Improved commissioning tools and diagnostics help engineers understand what is happening during operation and guide next steps when conditions change. The result is a shift in how bulk solids level measurement is evaluated. Reliability is no longer defined only by measurement performance, but also by the effort required to achieve and maintain it. Solutions that reduce intervention, support uptime, and provide usable insight play an important role in maintaining confidence over time. Simplifying bulk solids level measurement does not require adding complexity. It starts with reducing it, through thoughtful technology choices that support reliability, usability, and long term confidence in the measurement.

AMETEK LMS has expanded its Magnetrol® branded Pulsar Model R80 by introducing a newly developed solids measurement antenna. This update enables the existing 80 GHz FMCW radar platform to perform reliably in demanding bulk solids applications. The new Pulsar Model R80 solids antenna delivers improved measurement capability through its high frequency signal, narrow beam angle, and advanced configuration software. It measures low dielectric materials and maintains stable performance in environments with dust, vapor, or uneven surface profiles created during filling or emptying. “Customers working with those often difficult solids applications require a stable, accurate measurement technology,” said Bob Botwinski, Sr. Global Product Manager, GWR/Radar. “The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is designed to make commissioning straightforward while providing consistent performance across a wide range of industrial environments.” Our AMETEK LMS Magnetrol branded Pulsar Model R80 with solids measurement antenna. Key Features of the Pulsar Model R80 80 GHz FMCW signal with narrow beam angles 3”/150# and 4”/150# process connections Swivel‑mount flange for accurate radar alignment Purge connection for in‑situ lens cleaning Measuring range up to 60 meters (200 feet) Software-guided commissioning wizards Proactive diagnostic with actionable troubleshooting insights Replaceable transmitter head that maintains the process seal SIL 2 suitable with 92.3% SFF FCC,ETSI, and ISED approvals for both "In Tank" and "Out of Tank" installations  The Pulsar Model R80 is the first radar transmitter for bulk solids developed by AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions and provides customers with a new option for industrial solids‑level measurement.
