1998... Magnetrol introduces the first Eclipse...
The first 2-Wire Guided Wave Radar Level
Transmitter designed for liquid process
applications
2013... Guided Wave Radar has become a
standard in Oil & Gas Process Applications.

With more than 85,000 transmitters and over

a decade of instrument and extensive
application expertise......
Magnetrol now introduces
the next level of GWR:

Eclipse 706

 Main Features
Example of ideal Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) – Coaxial probe in water

Signal = 840 mV
Noise ~ 20 mV

840/20 = SNR = 42
 Main Features
Standard Single Rod Rigid probe installed in 6’ (2 meter) diameter plastic vessel with oil…

Model 706
SNR = 88mV/20mV = 4.40
 Main Features

More robust signal = better sensitivity in low dielectric media

Better Sensitivity = More safety margin in difficult applications

(flashing, foam, etc.)

More margin = Higher reliability, more flexibility, and easier to use.

• 1.4 minimum dielectric on ALL coaxial and Caged coaxial probes

• Flexible probes available up to 30 m (100 feet) measuring down to 1.9.
• Enhanced capabilities for interface measurement
(Upper DK increased from 5 to 10)
 Main Features

• Complete line of Coaxial and Caged Coaxial Overfill probes

 Physical separation between start reference (fiducial)
and process seal results in unique “overfill” feature
 Temperatures from -196 °C up to 450 °C (-320 °F to 850 °F)
 Pressures from full vacuum up to 430 bar (6200 psi)
 Solutions from 30 cm up to 15 m in segmented design
(12 inches to 50 feet)

 Model 706 – Caged Probes
We now have a full range of Overfill Capable Single Rod probes
• Will provide “coaxial” performance when installed in new or existing 2”, 3”, and 4”
diameter chambers/stilling wells…such as:
• Dielectric constants down to 1.4
• Overfill Capability
• Interface Capability

Model 7yG = Standard Caged Coaxial

Model 7yL = HP Caged Coaxial probe
Model 7yJ = HTHP Caged Coaxial probe

• All probes have removable probe rod to be more robust during shipping and
handling
• Length up to 6 meters (20 feet)
 Why “Overfill safe”?

• Most “radar devices” have an unmeasurable zone on

top of the probe or near the antenna where the
transmitter (may) lose the level when it rises into this
area
LLSD - 1208

• By designing probes with perfect impedance matching,

true Overfill probes can physically measure level all the
way up to the process seal without having to infer ?
• Can be important in cage applications, Emergency Shut
Down (ESD), and SIL applications

 Advanced Diagnostics

• Datalog capability (recorded in device, viewable with DTM)

“Event –based” or “Time-based” Echo Curve Capture within transmitter
Up to 11 waveforms can be saved:
One (1) Reference Curve
One (1) Echo Rejection Curve
Nine (9) troubleshooting Curves

• Echo Curve, Trend Data, and Troubleshooting tips also on LCD

• Meets NAMUR NE107 standards

 NAMUR NE107

NAMUR NE107 “Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices” specification provides

four categories for diagnostic alerts from field devices.

• Maintenance required
• Out of specification

• Function Check

• Failure
These four categories are represented by colors and symbols …..
 NAMUR NE107

• The Model 706 no longer has “Faults and Warnings”.

• They are called Diagnostic Indicators
• These Diagnostic Indicators have all been prioritized and assigned default
NE 107 categories.

NOTES:
1) The average “non-NE107” user will not recognize the difference as our
categories match what was done with the Model 705.
Same operations Model 705….Failures will drive the 4-20mA output to
an alarm state
2) The NE107 user can re-assign categories as they require.

HART transmitter.

Enhanced features are now

incorporated into the DD and
AMS files, meaning Echo Curve
Display for HART hosts
