Eclipse® Model 706 Guided Wave Radar (GWR) transmitter for hygienic applications

The Eclipse Model 706 GWR transmitter is available with a 304 stainless steel single compartment housing designed specifically for use in hygienic applications. This instrument meets the needs and requirements for the wetted and non-wetted materials, process connections and surface finishes of hygienic industries.

The Model 706 is a loop-powered, 24 VDC, level transmitter based upon the revolutionary guided wave radar (GWR) technology. Designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many traditional technologies, it offers easy configuration with a graphic LCD and intuitive user interface.

The Eclipse transmitter supports the FDT/DTM standard, and a PACTware™ PC software package allows for additional configuration and trending flexibility.

Technology

Guided wave radar

Micropower impulse radar combines time domain reflectometry, equivalent time sampling, and modern low power circuitry. This synthesis of technologies creates a high-speed Guided Wave Radar transmitter. The electromagnetic pulses are propagated via a waveguide that focuses the energy and yields a system many times more efficient than Non-Contact Radar.

The ECLIPSE guided wave radar transmitter is based upon the technology of TDR (time domain reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide (probe). When a pulse reaches a liquid surface that has a higher dielectric constant than the air (εr = 1) in which it is traveling, a portion of the pulse is reflected. The transit time of the pulse is then measured via high speed timing circuitry that provides an accurate measure of the liquid (or solids) level.
