Radar level transmitter Pulsar® R80

liquid2-wireHART

The Pulsar® Model R80 radar transmitter is the latest generation of Magnetrol® 24 VDC, loop-powered, non-contact radar transmitters. Utilizing Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology, this transmitter offers enhanced performance, proactive diagnostics, and various configuration wizards to bring simplicity to an often complex technology. Technology Non-Contact Radar Non-Contact Radar level transmitters are offered with various operating frequencies, each having their own advantages. There are two types of Non-Contact Radar transmitters: - Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) - Pulse Burst Radar FMCW devices transmit a continuous signal with a constantly changing frequency down toward the liquid. The detected difference in frequencies between the transmitted signal and return echo is proportional to the distance. Pulse Burst Radar transmitters, the older of the two types, emit short bursts of energy to a liquid surface, and incorporate ultra-high-speed timing circuitry to measure the time of the return signal reflected off the liquid surface. Distance is then calculated utilizing the equation: Features Multivariable two-wire, 24 VDC loop-powered transmitter for level, volume, or flow Performance not process dependent (changing specific gravity and dielectric have no effect) 80 GHz operating frequency offers superior performance, smaller antennas, better accuracy and enhanced resolution 4-button keypad and graphic LCD allow for convenience viewing of configuration parameters and echo curve OPTIONS SIL 2 suitable (92.3% SFF, with full FMEDA report available) PACTware PC Program and enhanced DTMs for advanced configuration
