Guided Wave Radar for Level Measurement

The Eclipse^® Model 706 high performance transmitter is a loop-powered, 24 VDC level transmitter that is based upon the proven technology of guided wave radar (GWR). Encompassing a number of significant engineering accomplishments, this leading-edge level transmitter is designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many of the more traditional technologies.

Utlilizing "diode switching" technology, along with the most comprehensive probe offering on the market, this single transmitter can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from very light hydrocarbons to water-based media.

The innovative angled, dual compartment enclosure is now a common sight in the industry. This enclosure, first brought to the industry by Magnetrol^® in 1998, is angled to maximize ease of wiring, configuration, and viewing of the versatile graphic LCD display.

One universal ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter can be used and interchanged with all probe types, and offers enhanced reliability as it is suitable for use in critical SIL 2/3 Certified safety loops.

The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter supports both the FDT/DTM and enhanced DD standards, which allows viewing of valuable configuration and diagnostic information such as the echo curve in tools such as PACTware^™, AMS Device Manager, and various HART® Field Communicators.

The Aurora® combines the operating system of a conventional float-based magnetic level indicator (MLI) with the leading-edge Eclipse® guided wave radar transmitter developed for level measurement applications. The result is true level-measurement redundancy in a single-chamber design.

Using a 3" or 4" chamber to house both the Eclipse probe and the MLI float, these devices operate seamlessly to provide continuous electronic guided wave radar measurement and visual indication. There are six basic configuration styles and more than 15 material selections for the Aurora magnetic level indicator.

For the first time ever, the ability to accurately and repeatedly measure ultra low dielectric media, high temperature/high pressure process conditions, and media with shifting and changing dielectric values can be accomplished with Aurora.

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.

The Gemini MLI offers innovative level measurement in a special twin-chamber design. A magnetic float and high-visibility indicator in the primary chamber operate indepently of the Eclipse^® Guided Wave Radar transmitter in the secondary chamber. This use of two differing technologies adds a layer of redundancy similar to the Aurora model.

Gemini's magnetic indicator chamber can be equipped with switches and additional transmitters for expanded capability. Isolation vales are also easily implemented between both chambers to provided flexibility while fulfilling periodic maintenance procedures.
