Magnetrol launches new wave radar transmitter

Level and flow measurement instrumentation company Magnetrol International has launched a new guided wave radar (GWR) transmitter.

The Eclipse Model 706 is designed to be accurate, reliable and safe in a number of process industries. Its GWR security achieves both a high transmit pulse amplitude and receiver sensitivity, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to competitive devices, Magnetrol says.

The model is able to provide dependable control of all application levels, including low dielectric media, extended measuring ranges and punishing conditions where foaming, boiling or flashing can occur. It is virtually unaffected by fluctuating process conditions such as density, dielectric, viscosity and specific gravity.

The company says the transmitter can be installed with coaxial and single rod overfill-capable probes, even when the risk of flooding exists.

The easy-to-use LCD diagnostics provide real-time waveform and trend data. Additionally, the model can be preconfigured online prior to shipment to ensure plug-and-play transmitter commissioning and automatic capture of echo curve during upsets.
