TDR technology is the ideal "Displacer-Replacer"
The Eclipse Model 705 loop powered guided wave radar transmitter from Magnetrol is the most popular replacement for displacer level transmitters in the oil and gas industries
Accurate radar level for difficult viscous fluids
The enhanced Magnetrol Eclipse Model 705 liquid level transmitter is now available with the first coaxial GWR probe suitable for measuring low dielectric liquids with a viscosity up to 1500cP
The new Model 705 is equipped with a larger and more powerful microprocessor, improved hardware, revised internal software algorithms, and Pactware capability.
The new Eclipse Model 705 transmitter measures level, volume and interface and is compatible with all existing Eclipse 705, 707 and 708 GWR probes.
The functionality and user languages (English, French, German and Spanish) are selectable from the user-friendly menu.
The increased flexibility, additional features and diagnostics have not penalised the easiest-to-configure TDR on the market.
On the contrary, the addition of full DTM capability working with the Pactware frame programme has made the Eclipse even easier to use.
The DTM allows the user to configure, trend and diagnose the device remotely.
The Echo Curve shows the actual waveforms as seen by the transmitter.
It will be possible to send signal curves to the factory over the internet and get on-line support to address more complex field problems.
New features for the Eclipse 705 are high temperature/high pressure interface applications up to the full 400C/345 bar range, longer measuring ranges up to 22m, and volumetric readings via a 20 point strapping table.
A new enhanced toolset (advanced configuration) also allows a user to set up the Eclipse for more accurate performance in more difficult applications.
The Eclipse 705 also offers a SIL2 version.
The additional diagnostics allow a user to insert this device in high demanding safety loops.
With a SFF (Safe Failure Fraction) of 91%, Eclipse is the first TDR on the market that scores this high in safety.
The Eclipse 705-SIL2 is suitable for SIL2 loops as a 1oo1 device (Hardware Fault tolerance of 0 - FMEDA analysed to IEC 61508).
The new Eclipse 705 also has Fieldbus, AMS and Hart capability. Request a free brochure from Magnetrol International ...
