ing the PULSAR Model R80 Radar Level Transmitter. 2.1 Unpacking Unpack the instrument carefully. Make sure all components have been removed from the packing material. Check all contents against the packing slip and report any discrepancies to the factory. Before proceeding with the installation, do the following:

Inspect all components for damage. Report any damage to the carrier within 24 hours. Make sure the nameplate model number on the antenna and transmitter agree with the packing slip and purchase order. Remove plastic protective covers from both the antenna and transmitter. (Store for future use.) To avoid moisture ingress in the housing, covers should be fully tightened at all times. For the same reason, plugs should remain properly installed in the cable entries until replaced with a cable gland Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. 2.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge. Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an anti-

static bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials. Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended. Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch components or connector pins. Make sure that all electrical connections are completely made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip-

ment to a good, earth ground. WARNING! Potential electrostatic charging hazard. Do not rub with dry cloth. 12 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 2.3 Before You Begin 2.3.1 Site Preparation Each Pulsar Model R80 Radar transmitter/antenna is built to match the physical specifications of the required installa-

tion. Ensure that the antenna process connection is correct for the threaded or flanged mounting on the vessel where the transmitter will be placed. See Section 2.4, Mounting. Ensure that all local, state, and federal regulations and guidelines are observed. See Section 2.5, Wiring. Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and Pulsar Model R80 Radar transmitter is complete and correct for the type of installation. See Section 3.6, Specifications. 2.3.2 Equipment and Tools No special tools are required. The following items are recommended:

Threaded antenna and process connection . Adjustable wrench Transmitter/antenna connection. Adjustable wrench Torque wrench . highly desirable Flat-blade screwdriver Digital multimeter or volt/ammeter . Optional 2.3.3 Operational Considerations Radar applications (regardless of operating frequency) are characterized by three basic conditions;

Dielectric (process medium) Distance (measuring range) Disturbances (factors such as turbulence,, foam, false tar-

gets, multiple reflections and rate of change) The Pulsar Model R80 Radar transmitter is offered with sev-

eral horn antenna configurations (34"112", 2", 3"). Ideally, if the installation allows, the 3" horn antenna should be used to ensure the best possible performance in all operational conditions. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 13 Sensor Reference Point

2 inches (50 mm) from the bottom of the antenna or 10"

(250mm) from the sensor reference point (whichever is greater). Refer to illustration at left. 2.3.3.3 Problematic Applications; GWR Alternative Some applications can be problematic for Non-Contact Radar. For these, Guided Wave Radar is recommended:

Extremely low dielectric media (r<1.7) Stillwells, standpipes, bridles, cages and bypass columns. Very weak reflections from the liquid surface (particularly during turbulence) can cause poor performance. Tanks heavily cluttered with false targets (mixers, pumps, ladders, pipes, etc.) Foam can either absorb or reflect the microwave energy depending upon the depth, dielectric, density and wall thickness of the bubbles. Due to typical variations in the amount (depth) of foam, it is impossible to quantify per-

formance. It may be possible to receive most, some or none of the transmitted energy. When measurement close to flange is critical. Extremely high liquid levels (Overflow) conditions when liquid very near the antenna can cause erroneous read-

ings and measurement failure. Interface applications Refer to Eclipse Model 706 bulletin 57-106 for additional information. 14 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 2.4 Mounting The Pulsar Model R80 Radar transmitter can be mounted to a vessel using a variety of process connections. Generally, either a threaded or flanged connection is used. For infor-

mation about the sizes and types of connections available, see Section 3.8.2, Antenna Model Numbers. 2.4.1 Installing the Antenna Before installing, ensure that:

Model and Serial numbers on the nameplates of the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter and antenna are identical. Process temperature, pressure, dielectric, turbulence and distance are within the antenna specifications for the installation. Protective cap is kept on the antenna if the transmitter is to be installed at a later time. Antenna is being mounted in the optimal location. See fol-

lowing sections: Location, Beam Angle, Obstructions and Nozzles for specific information. If the liquid level comes in contact with the antenna, noise and media buildup drastically decrease reliable measure-

ment. Liquid should not be allowed closer than two inches

(50 mm) from the bottom of the antenna or 10 inches (250 mm) from the sensor reference point, whichever is greater. 2.4.1.1 Location Ideally, the Radar transmitter should be mounted providing an unobstructed signal path to the liquid surface where it should illuminate (with microwave energy) the largest, possible surface area. See Section 2.4.1.2, Beam Angle. Unavoidable obstacles will produce reflections that must be minimized during field configuration. See Section 3.3.3, Echo Rejection. Mount in a location equal to 12 the radius of tank top. Do not mount in center of vessel nor closer than 12" (30 cm) of tank wall. Contact Magnetrol Technical Support when mounting closer than 12" (30 cm) is required. 2.4.1.2 Beam Angle The various horn antennas exhibit slightly different beam pat-

terns. Ideally, the beam pattern should illuminate the maxi-

mum liquid surface with minimum contact with other objects in the vessel including the tank wall. Use the chart at left to determine the optimum installation location. D W feet (meters) Antenna Beam Angle

Although Pulsar Model R80 has a powerful Echo Rejection routine, all possible precautions should be taken to minimize false target reflections with proper installation and orientation. Refer to Section 4.0, Advanced Configuration/ Troubleshooting Techniques for additional information. 2.4.1.4 Nozzles

" L " Dimension (Nozzle Height) 2" (50 mm) Improper installation in a nozzle can create ringing that can adversely affect measurement. See Section 3.6.8 for dimensional drawings of all antenna designs. Be sure to include any nozzle distance extending down within the vessel. 0.50"

(13 mm) Minimum 2.4.1.5 Standpipes and Stillwells The Pulsar Model R80 may be mounted in a standpipe or stillwell but certain items must be considered:

Metal stillwells only: Sizes 1123 inches (3875 mm). Diameter must be consistent throughout length; no reducers or gaps. Stillwell length must cover complete range of measurement (i.e., liquid must be in stillwell). Welds should be smooth. Vents: holes <0.125" (3 mm) diameter, slots <0.125" (3 mm) width. If an isolation valve is used, it must be a full port ball valve with an I.D. equal to the pipe diameter. Configuration must include a non-zero entry for PIPE I.D parameter. Remove the protective plastic cap from the top of antenna. Store the cap in a safe place in case the transmitter has to be removed later. Carefully place the transmitter on the antenna. Rotate the transmitter to face the most convenient direction for wiring, configuration and viewing. PULSAR Model R80 Mounted in Stillwell (Bridle) 2.4.2 Installing the Transmitter 16 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 1/2 Radius Top View Mounted 12 radius NOTE: ALWAYS RUN THE ECHO REJECTION ROUTINE AFTER MAKING CHANGES TO MENU ITEMS (Antenna Model, Antenna Mount, Tank Height, Dielectric, Turbulence, Rate of Change, Foam). 2.4.2.1 Echo Margin Echo Margin is a parameter that, when used with Echo Strength, can be a very useful troubleshooting tool. In very basic terms, it is defined as a numeric value that is related to the strength of the target peak relative to the Level Threshold. Echo Loss: If the Level signal is lost repeatedly at a specific point in the vessel, it is usually a symptom of multipath

(side-wall) reflections causing cancellation by returning to the transmitter exactly 180 out of phase with the actual Level signal. This can be improved by applying the follow-

ing procedure:

Scroll to Display Config Menu under Device Setup. Scroll down to Echo Strength and Echo Margin and change the settings from Hide to View. This will allow you to view these values from the home screen. Bring the Level up (or down) to the exact point where the signal is repeatedly lost. Monitor the Echo Margin value as this point is being approached. The Echo Margin value will degrade to a low point before it begins to increase. Refer to Section 4.4 for additional information. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 17 2.5 Wiring Caution: HART versions of the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter oper-

ate at voltages of 1136 VDC (SELV). Higher voltages will damage the transmitter. Wiring connections between the power supply and the PULSAR Model R80 Radar Transmitter should be made using 1822 AWG (0.51mm2) shielded twisted pair instrument cable. Connections are made to the terminal strip and the ground connections within the top enclosure compartment. Wiring connections are to be torqued to a minimum of 7 in. lbs. and shall not exceed 10 in. lbs. The instructions for wiring the PULSAR Model R80 transmitter depend on the application:

General Purpose or Division 2 Intrinsically Safe Explosion Proof WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. To avoid moisture ingress in the housing, covers should be fully tightened at all times. For the same reason, cable gland and plugs should be properly installed in the cable entries. 2.5.1 General Purpose or Division 2 A general purpose installation does not have flammable media present.

Replace and tighten the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter before applying power. 2.6 Configuring the Transmitter Although the PULSAR Model R80 transmitter can be delivered pre-configured from the factory, it can also be easily reconfigured in the shop or at the installation using the local LCD/Keypad or PACTware/DTM. Bench config-

uration provides a convenient and efficient way to set up the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the installation. Before configuring any transmitter, collect all operating parameters information (refer to Section 1.1.2). Apply power to the transmitter and follow the step-by-step procedures for the menu-driven transmitter display. Refer to Sections 2.6.2 and 2.6.4. Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART communicator is given in Section 2.7, Configuration Using HART. The PULSAR Model R80 transmitter can be easily config-

ured at a test bench by connecting a standard 24 VDC

(SELV) power supply directly to the transmitter terminals as shown in the accompanying diagram.

mum 250-ohm line load resistance is required. Refer to your HART communicator manual for additional information. NOTE: The transmitter can be configured without the antenna attached. Disregard any diagnostic indicators that may appear during that time. 2.6.2 Menu Traversal and Data Entry The four push buttons offer various forms of functionality for navigation and data entry. The PULSAR Model R80 user interface is hierarchical in nature, best described as a tree structure. Each level in the tree contains one or more items. Items are either menu labels or parameter names. Menu labels are presented in all capital letters Parameters are capital words 2.6.2.1 Navigating the Menu UP moves to the previous item in the menu branch. DOWN moves to the next item in the menu branch. BACK moves back one level to the previous (higher) branch item. ENTER enters into the lower level branch or switches to the entry mode. Holding the ENTER down on any highlighted menu name or parameter will show help text for that item. 2.6.2.2 Data Selection This method is used for selecting configuration data from a specific list. UP and DOWN to navigate the menu and high-

light the item of interest ENTER allows modification of that selection UP and DOWN to choose new data selection ENTER to confirm selection Use cedure and escape to previous branch item. BACK (Escape) key at any time to abort the pro-

Up Down Back Enter 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 21 2.6.2.3 Entering Numeric Data Using Digit Entry This method is used to input numeric data, e.g., Tank Height, 4 mA setpoint and 20 mA setpoint. Push button Keystroke Action Up Moves up to the next highest digit (0,1,2,3,....,9 or decimal point). If held down the digits scroll until the push button is released. Down Moves down to the next lowest digit (9,8,7... or decimal point). If held down the digits scroll until the push button is released. Back Enter Moves the cursor to the left and deletes a digit. If the cursor is already at the leftmost position, then the screen is exited without changing the previously saved value. Moves the cursor to the right. If the cursor is located at a blank character position, the new value is saved. All numeric values are left-justified, and new values are entered from left to right. A decimal point can be entered after the first digit is entered, such that .9 is entered as 0.9. Some configuration parameters can have a negative value. In this case, the leftmost position is reversed for the sign (either "-" for a negative value, or "+" for a pos-

itive value). 2.6.2.4 Entering Numeric Data Using Increment/Decrement Use this method to input the following data into parameters such as Damping and Failure Alarm. Push button Keystroke Action Up Increments the displayed value. If held down the digits scroll until the push button is released. Depending on which screen is being revised, the increment amount may increase by a factor of 10 after the value has been incremented 10 times. Down Decrements the displayed value. If held down the digits scroll until the push button is released. Depending on which screen is being revised, the decrement amount may increase by a factor of 10 after the value has been decremented 10 times. Back Returns to the previous menu without changing the original value, which is immediately redis-

played. Enter Accepts the displayed value and returns to the previous menu. 22 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 2.6.2.5 Entering Character Data This method is used for parameters requiring alphanumeric character entry, such as for entering tags, etc. General Menu Notes:

Push button Keystroke Action Up Moves to the previous character (Z...Y...X...W). If held down, the characters scroll until the push button is released. Down Moves to the next item character (A...B...C...D). If held down, the characters scroll until the push button is released. Back Enter Moves the cursor back to the left. If the cursor is already at the leftmost position, then the screen is exited without changing the original tag char-

acters. Moves the cursor forward to the right. If the cursor is at the rightmost position, then the new tag is saved. 2.6.3 Password Protection The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter has three levels of pass-

word protection to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. User Password The User Password allows the customer to limit access to the basic configuration parameters. The default User Password installed in the transmitter at the factory is 0. With a password of 0, the transmitter is no longer password protected and any value in the basic user menus can be adjusted without entering a confirming password. The user password can be changed to any numerical value up to 59999. When the transmitter is programmed for password protection, a password is required whenever configuration values are changed. NOTE: If a User Password is not known or has been misplaced, the menu item New Password in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu displays an encrypted value representing the present password. Contact Technical Support with this encrypted password to retrieve the original User Password. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 23 Advanced Password Certain portions of the menu structure that contain more advanced parameters are further protected by an Advanced Password. This password will be provided, when necessary, by Factory technical support. Factory Password Calibration-related and other factory settings are further protected by a Factory Password. 2.6.4 Model R80 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure NOTE: Context-sensitive HELP is available for all menu and parameter items. With the item highlighted, hold down the ENTER key for two seconds. Use DOWN for navigation. UP and The tables in Section 2.6.5 provide a complete explanation of the software menus displayed by the PULSAR Model R80 transmitter. The menu layout is similar between the local Keypad/LCD interface, the DD, and the DTM. Use these tables as a step-by-step guide to configure the transmitter based on the desired measurement type from the following selections:

Control Room Display Current Meter Power Supply 2.7 Configuration Using HART A HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) remote unit, such as a HART communicator, can be used to provide a communication link to the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same system measurement readings shown on the transmitter are also shown on the communicator. The communicator can also be used to configure the transmitter. The HART communicator may need to be updated to include the Pulsar Model R80 software (Device Descriptions). Refer to your HART Communicator Manual for update instructions. One can also access configuration parameters using PACTware and the Model R80 DTM, or using the AMS with EDDL. 2.7.1 Connections A HART communicator can be operated from a remote location by connecting it to a remote junction or by con-

necting it directly to the terminal block in the electronics housing of the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter. HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift key technique of high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 420 mA loop and requires 250 load resistance. A typical connec-

tion between a communicator and the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is illustrated. 2.7.2 Display Menu A typical communicator display is an 8-line by 21-character LCD. When connected, the top line of each menu displays the model (Model R80) and its tag number or address. For detailed operating information, refer to the instruction manual provided with the HART communicator. The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter online menu trees are shown in the following illustration. Open the menu by pressing the alphanumeric key 4, Device Setup, to display the second-level menu. 2.7.3 HART Revision Table 2.7.3.1 Model R80 HART Version HCF Release Date Compatible with R80 Software Dev V1 DD1 April 2017 Version 1.0a and later 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 31 2.7.4 HART Menu 1 PV 2 PV Loop Current 3 PV % Range 4 Device Setup 5 Setup Wizard 6 Diagnostics 7 Measured Values 1 Level 2 Volume 3 Distance 4 Echo Strength 5 Echo Margin 6 Temperature 1 Identity 2 Basic Config 1 Enter Password 2 Tag 3 Long Tag 4 Descriptor 5 Final asmbly num 6 Date 7 Message 8 Date/Time/Initials 9 Factory Identity 1 Level Units 2 Volume Units 1 Echo Graph 2 Curve 1 3 Curve 2 4 Refresh Echo List 5 Echo Reject State 6 Echo List Type 7 Echo List Mode 8 Saved Reject Distance 9 Saved Reject Location 10 New Rejection Curve 11 Echo List grid 1 Manufacturer 2 Model 3 Magnetrol S/N 4 Hardware Rev. 5 Firmware Rev. 6 CoP Firmware Rev.

The electronics are housed in an ergonomic housing comprised of two tandem compartments angled at a 20-degree angle for ease of wiring and calibration. These two compartments connect via a watertight feed-through. 3.2 Theory of Operation 3.2.1 Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Radar The Pulsar R80 is a top-mounted, downward-facing FMCW radar transmitter operating at 80 GHz. Unlike pre-

vious Pulsar transmitters that emit short bursts of 26 GHz energy and measure the transit time of the signal reflected off the liquid surface, FMCW devices transmit a continuous signal with a constantly changing frequency down toward the liquid. The detected difference in frequencies between the trans-

mitted signal and return echo is a fuction of the distance. Level is then calculated by factoring in tank height and other configuration information. The reference point for distance and level calculations is the sensor reference point

(bottom of an NPT thread, top of a BSP thread, or face of the flange). y c n e u q e r F t f Time ASME or EN Welded Flange Sensor Reference Point 34 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter FMCW captures its process variable information in the fre-

quency domain, which supports more accurate signal con-

version. The main advantage of FMCW is that it utilizes higher receiving sensitivity and higher-strength signals over pulse systems, allowing it to perform better in difficult situ-

ations where there may be turbulence, foam or excessive vapors. The exact level measurement is extracted from false target reflections and other background noise via the use of sophisticated signal processing. The new Pulsar Model R80 circuitry is extremely energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary to accomplish effective measurement. 3.3 Configuration Information This section is intended to offer additional configuration-

related details with respect to some of the parameters shown in the Menu in Section 2.6. 3.3.1 Bottom Blocking Distance Description The parameter referred to as Bottom Blocking Distance in the Pulsar Model R80 DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu is defined as the distance from the bottom of the tank to the lowest valid level reading. NOTE: The level reading will never be lower than the Bottom Blocking Distance or higher than the Top Blocking Distance. The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is shipped from the fac-

tory with Bottom Blocking Distance set to 0. With this configuration, level measurements are referenced from the bottom of the range. See Example 1. Example 1 (Bottom Blocking Distance = 0 as shipped from factory):

Application calls for a Model RC2 antenna in an 82-inch tank with a flanged process connection. The process medium is water. The user wants the 4 mA Set Point (LRV) at 0 inches and the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at 60 inches as referenced from the bottom of the tank. Level Units = inches Tank Height = 82 in Antenna Model = RC2 Antenna Extension = 0 Dielectric Range =

inch tank with a flanged process connection. The user wants the 4 mA Set Point (LRV) at 24 inches and the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at 60 inches as referenced from the bottom of the tank. When the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is mounted in a side-mounted chamber, it is usually desirable to configure the unit with the 4 mA Set Point (LRV) at the lower process connection and the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at the upper process connection. The measuring range then becomes the center-to-center dimension. Example 3:

Application calls for a Model RC3 flanged antenna meas-

uring water in a 3-inch chamber. The user wants the 4 mA point at the bottom process connection and the 20 mA point at the top process connection. 3.3.2 Reset Function A parameter labeled Reset Parameters is located at the end of the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu. In the event a user gets confused during configuration or advanced troubleshooting, this parameter gives the user the ability to reset the Model R80 transmitter configuration. Unique to the Model R80 transmitter is the ability for Magnetrol to fully pre-configure devices to customer requests. For that reason, the Reset function will return the device back to the state at which it left the factory. It is recommended that Magnetrol Technical Support be contacted as the Advanced User password will be required for this reset. 36 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 3.3.3 Echo Rejection Since all Non-Contact radar transmitters are application/installation dependent, Echo Rejection

(ignoring false targets) may be necessary. The Model R80 transmitter Echo Rejection feature is located in the DEVICE SETUP/BASIC CONFIG menu, and requires the User Password to activate. It is highly recommended that this feature be used with the waveform capture capability of the Model R80 DTM and PACTware. Refer to Section 4.0, Advanced Configuration/

Troubleshooting Techniques or contact MAGNETROL Technical Support for additional instructions. 3.3.4 Volumetric Capability Selecting Measurement Type = Volume and Level allows the Model R80 transmitter to measure volume as the Primary Measured Value. 3.3.4.1 Configuration using built-in Vessel Types The following table provides an explanation of each of the System Configuration parameters required for volume applications that use one of the nine Vessel Types. MEASUREMENT TYPE = LEVEL & VOLUME Configuration Parameter Explanation System Units A selection of Gallons, Barrels, Milliliters, Liters, Cubic Feet, or Cubic Inches, is provided.

(Factory default is Cubic Feet) Vessel Type Select either Vertical/Flat (factory default Vessel Type), Vertical/Elliptical, Vertical/Spherical, Vertical/Conical, Rectangular, Horizontal/Flat, Horizontal/Elliptical, Horizontal/Spherical, Spherical, or Custom Table.

A maximum of 30 points can be used to establish the level to volume relationship. The following table provides an explanation of each of the System Configuration parameters for volume applications where a Custom Table is needed. Configuration Parameter Explanation (Custom Volumetric Table) Volume Units A selection of Gallons, Barrels, Milliliters, Liters, Cubic Feet, Cubic Inches, or Cubic Meters is provided. Vessel Type Select Custom Table if none of the nine Vessel Types can be used. Cust Table Type Cust Table Vals The Custom Table points can be a Linear (straight line between adjacent points) or Spline (can be a curved line between points) relationship. See drawing below for more information. A maximum of 30 points can be used in building the Custom Table. Each pair of values will have a level (height) in the units chosen in the Level Units screen, and the associated volume for that level point. The values must be monotonic, i.e., each pair of values must be greater than the previous level/volume pair. The last pair of values should have the highest level value and volume value associated with the level in the vessel.

LINEAR SPLINE 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 39 Model R80 Flow Parshall Flume 3.3.5 Open Channel Flow Capability Selecting Measurement Type = Flow allows the Pulsar Model R80 transmitter to measure flow as the Primary Measured Value. Open channel flow is performed by using the Model R80 to measure the Head in a hydraulic structure. The hydraulic structure is the primary measuring element, of which the two most common types are weirs and flumes. Since the primary element has a defined shape and dimen-

sions, the rate of flow through the flume or over the weir is related to the Head at a specified measurement location. The Model R80 is the secondary measuring device, which measures the Head of the liquid in the flume or weir. Open channel flow equations stored in the transmitter firmware convert the measured Head into units of flow

(volume/time). NOTE: Proper positioning of the Model R80 should be per the recom-

mendation of the flume or weir manufacturer.

Configuration Parameter Explanation Flow Units Flow Element A selection of Gallons/Minute (factory default Flow Unit), Gallons/Hour, Mil Gallons/Day, Liters/Second, Liters/Minute, Liters/Hour, Cubic Meter/Hour, Cubic Ft/Second, Cubic Ft/Minute, and Cubic Ft/Hour are provided. Select one of the following primary Flow Elements that are stored in the firmware:

Parshall flume sizes of 1", 2", 3", 6", 9", 12", 18", 24", 36", 48", 60", 72", 96", 120" and 144". Palmer-Bwls (Palmer-Bowlus) flume sizes of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 15", 18", 21", 24", 27" and 30". V-notch weir sizes of 22.5O, 30O, 45O, 60O, 90O and 120O. Rect with Ends (Rectangular Weir with End Contractions), Rect w/o Ends

(Rectangular Weir without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir. Custom Table (see page 43 can be selected if none of the stored Flow Elements can be used. The table can be built with a maximum of 30 points. The Model R80 also has the capability of using a Generic Equation (see page 42) for flow calculation. Weir Crest Length The Weir Crest Length screen only appears when the chosen Flow Element is Cipoletti or one of the Rectangular weirs. Input this length in the user-selected level units. Flume Channel Width Allows for entry of the width of the Palmer-Bowlus flume. V-Notch Weir Angle Only appears when flow element is V-Notch weir. It allows for the entry of angle of the V-Notch weir. Reference Dist Maximum Head Maximum Flow Low Flow Cutoff The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point of zero flow in the weir or flume. This must be measured very accurately in the user-selected level units. Maximum Head is the highest liquid level (Head) value in the flume or weir before the flow equation is no longer valid. The Maximum Head is expressed in the user-

selected Level Units. The Model R80 will default to the largest Maximum Head value that is allowed for any given flume or weir. The Maximum Head value can be revised depending on the value of the Reference Distance, or for end user preference. Maximum Flow is a read-only value that represents the flow value corresponding to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir. The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a default and minimum value of zero. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 41 Configuration Parameter Explanation (Open Channel Flow using the Generic Equation) 3.3.5.2 Configuration using Generic Equation The following table provides an explanation of each of the System Configuration parameters for Open channel flow applications using the Generic Equation. A selection of Gallons/Minute (factory default Flow Unit), Gallons/Hour, Mil Gallons/Day, Liters/Second, Liters/Minute, Liters/Hour, Cubic Meter/Hour, Cubic Ft/Second, Cubic Ft/Minute, and Cubic Ft/Hour are provided. Select one of the following primary Flow Elements that are stored in the firmware:

Parshall flume sizes of 1", 2", 3", 6", 9", 12", 18", 24", 36", 48", 60", 72", 96", 120" and 144". Palmer-Bowlus flume sizes of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 15", 18", 21", 24", 27" and 30". V-notch weir sizes of 22.5O, 30O, 45O, 60O, 90O and 120O. Rect with Ends (Rectangular Weir with End Contractions), Rect w/o Ends (Rectangular Weir without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir. Custom Table (see page 43) can be selected if none of the stored Flow Elements can be used. The table can be built with a maximum of 30 points. The Model R80 also has the capability of using a Generic Equation (see below) for flow calculation. Generic Equation is a discharge flow equation in the form of Q = K(L-CH)Hn, where Q = flow (Cu Ft/Second), H = Head (Feet), K = a constant, and L, C and n are user input factors that depend on which Flow Element is being used. Make sure the flow equation is in the form of Q = K(L-CH)Hn, and proceed to enter the values of K,L,C,H and n. See example below. NOTE: The Generic Equation parameters must be entered in Cu Ft/Second units. The resultant flow is converted by the Model R80 into whatever Flow Units are selected above. See example below. The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point of zero flow in the weir or flume. This must be measured very accurately in the user-selected level units. Maximum Head is the highest liquid level (Head) value in the flume or weir before the flow equation is no longer valid. The Maximum Head is expressed in the user-

selected level units. The Model R80 will default to the largest Maximum Head value that is allowed for any given flume or weir. The Maximum Head value can be revised depending on the value of the Reference Distance, or for end user preference. Maximum Flow is a read-only value that represents the flow value corresponding to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir. The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a default and minimum value of zero. Flow Units Flow Element Generic Eqn Factors Reference Dist Maximum Head Maximum Flow Low Flow Cutoff Generic Equation Example (using equation for an 8' rectangular weir w/ end contractions) Q = Cubic Ft/Second flow rate L = 8' (weir crest length in feet) H = Head value K = 3.33 for Cubic Ft/Second units C = 0.2 (constant) n = 1.5 as an exponent Q = K(L-CH)Hn Using the factors above the equation becomes:

Q = 3.33 (8-0.2H) H1.5 The discharge flow value for a Head value of three feet becomes 128.04 Cubic Ft/Second. If GPM was selected for the Flow Units, the Model R80 Measured Values screen would display this value converted to 57,490 GPM. 42 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 3.3.5.3 Configuration using Custom Table Concentrate points as follows:

V-notch weir sizes of 22.5O, 30O, 45O, 60O, 90O and 120O. Rect with Ends (Rectangular Weir with End Contractions), Rect w/o Ends (Rectangular Weir without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir. Custom Table (see below) can be selected if none of the stored Flow Elements can be used. The table can be built with a maximum of 30 points. The Model R80 also has the capability of using a Generic Equation (see page 42) for flow calculation. The Custom Table points can be a Linear (straight line between adjacent points) or Spline (can be a curved line between points) relationship. Refer to the drawing above for more information. A maximum of 30 points can be used in building the Custom Table. Each pair of val-

ues will have a Head (height) in the units chosen in the Level Units screen, and the associated flow for that Head value. The values must be monotonic, i.e., each pair of values must be greater than the previous Head/flow pair. The last pair of values should have the highest Head value (usually the Maximum Head value) and the flow associated with that Head value. The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point of zero flow in the weir or flume. This must be measured very accurately in the user-selected level units. Maximum Head is the highest liquid level (Head) value in the flume or weir before the flow equation is no longer valid. The Maximum Head is expressed in the user-

selected Level Units. The Model R80 will default to the largest Maximum Head value that is allowed for any given flume or weir. The Maximum Head value can be revised depending on the value of the Reference Distance, or for end user preference. Maximum Flow is a read-only value that represents the flow value corresponding to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir. The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a default and minimum value of zero. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 43 3.4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is designed and engi-

neered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of oper-

ating conditions. The transmitter continuously runs a series of internal self-tests and displays helpful messages on the large graphic liquid crystal display (LCD) when attention is required. The combination of these internal tests and diagnostics messages offer a valuable proactive method of troubleshoot-

ing. The device not only tells the user what is wrong, but also, and more importantly, offers suggestions on how to solve the problem. All of this information can be obtained directly from the transmitter on the LCD, or remotely by using a HART communicator or PACTware and the Pulsar Model R80 DTM. PACTware PC Program The Pulsar Model R80 offers the ability to perform more advanced diagnostics such as Trending and Echo Curve analysis using a DTM with PACTware. This is a powerful troubleshooting tool that can aid in the resolution of any diagnostic indicators that may appear. Refer to Section 4.0, Advanced Configuration/

Troubleshooting Techniques for additional information. The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter includes an exhaustive list of Diagnostic Indicators which follow the NAMUR NE 107 guidelines. NAMUR is an international user association of automation technology in process industries, whose goal is to promote the interest of the process industry by pooling experiences among its member companies. In doing so, this group promotes international standards for devices, systems, and technologies. The objective of NAMUR NE 107 was essentially to make maintenance more efficient by standardizing diagnostics information from field devices. This was initially integrated via FOUNDATION fieldbus, but the concept applies regardless of the communication protocol. According to the NAMUR NE107 recommendation, "Self Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices," fieldbus diag-

nostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of a given application. The document recommends categorizing internal diagnostics into four standard status signals:

3.4.1 Diagnostics (Namur NE 107) 44 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter Failure Function Check Out of Specification Maintenance required These categories are shown by both symbols and colors, depending on the display capability. In essence, this approach ensures that the correct diagnostic information is available to the correct person-at the correct time. In addition, it allows diagnostics to be applied, as most appropriate, for a particular plant application (such as process control engineering or asset management mainte-

nance). Customer specific mapping of diagnostics to these categories allows for flexible configuration depending on the user's requirements. From an external Model R80 transmitter perspective, diag-

nostic information includes measurement of process condi-

tions, in addition to detection of internal device or system anomalies. As mentioned above, the indicators can be assignable (via the a DTM or host system) by the user to any (or none) of the NAMUR recommended Status Signal categories:

Failure, Function Check, Out of Specification, and Maintenance Required. Indicators that are mapped to the Failure category will nor-

mally result in a current loop alarm output. The alarm state for HART transmitters is configurable as high (22 mA), Low (3.6 mA), or Hold (last value). Users will not have the ability to unassign certain indicators from the Failure signal category as the Model R80 user interfaces will prohibit or reject such re-assignment entries. This is to ensure that current loop alarms are asserted in situ-

ations where the device is not able to provide measurements due to critical failures. (For example, if the alarm selection has not been set to Hold or a fixed current mode is in effect.) A default mapping of all diagnostic indicators will be applied initially, and can be re-applied through use of a reset function. Analog Output Error High Elec Temp Echo Lost Calibration Required Failure Function Check Out of Specification Maintenance Required Diagnostic Indicators NE-107 Status Signals 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 45 Refer to the Diagnostic Indicator tables in this section for a complete listing of the Model R80 diagnostic indicators, along with their explanations, default categories, and recom-

mended remedies. NOTES:

1) The remedies shown in this table can also be seen on the transmitter LCD by viewing the present status screen when the device is in a diagnostic condition. 2) Those indicators showing failure as the default result in an alarm condition. 3.4.2 Diagnostic Indication Simulation The DD and DTM allow for the ability to manipulate diagnostic indicators. Intended as a means to verify the configuration of the diagnostic parameters and connected equipment, a user can manually change any indicator to and from the active state. 3.4.3 Diagnostic Help Selecting DIAGNOSTICS from the MAIN MENU presents a list of five ITEMS from the top level of the DIAGNOSTICS tree. When Present Status is highlighted, the highest Magnetrol priority active diagnostic indicator (numerically lowest in Table 3.4) is displayed on the bottom LCD line. Pressing the ENTER key moves the active diagnostic indicator to the top line outdented and presents in the lower area of the LCD a brief explanation of and possible remedies for the indicated condition. A blank line separates the explanation from the remedies. Additional active diagnostic indicators, if any, appear with their explanations in descending priority order. Each additional active indicator name-explanation pair is separated by a blank line from the one above. If the explanation and remedy text (and additional name-

explanation pairs) exceeds the available space, a appears in the rightmost column of the last line indicating more text below. In this situation, the DN key scrolls text up one line at a time. Similarly, while text exists above the upper line of the text field, a appears in the rightmost column of the top (text) line. In this situation, the UP key scrolls the text down one line at a time. Otherwise the DN and UP keys are inoperative. In all cases the ENT or DEL key reverts to the previous screen. 46 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter When the transmitter is operating normally and the high-

light cursor is positioned on Present Status, the bottom LCD line displays OK because no diagnostic indicators are active. EVENT HISTORY This menu displays the last twenty events related to configuration and diagnostic event logging. ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS This menu displays parameters related to some of the advanced diagnostics available within the Model R80. INTERNAL VALUES Displays read-only internal parameters. ELEC TEMPERATURES Displays temperature information as measured in the electronics module in degrees F or C. TRANSMITTER TESTS Allows the user to manually set the output current to a constant value. This is a method for the user to verify operation of the other equipment in the loop.

This menu contains those parameters that configure that feature. Eleven (11) waveforms can be saved directly into the trans-

mitter. Nine (9) Troubleshooting Curves One (1) Echo Rejection Curve One (1) Reference Curve 3.4.5.2 Event History As a means for improved troubleshooting capability, a record of significant diagnostic events is stored with time and date stamps. A real-time on-board clock (which must be set by the operator), will maintain the current time. 3.4.5.3 Context-sensitive Help NOTE: Context-sensitive HELP is available for all menu items. With the menu item highlighted, hold down the ENTER key for two seconds. Use DOWN for navigation. UP and Descriptive information relevant to the highlighted parameter in the menu will be accessible via the local display and remote host interfaces. This will most often be a parameter-

related screen, but could also be information about menus, actions (for example, Loop [Analog Output] Test, resets of various types), diagnostic indicators, etc. For example: Dielectric Range Selects the range bounding the dielectric constant of the medium in vessel. Some ranges may not be selectable depending on the antenna model. 3.4.5.4 Trend Data Another feature of the Model R80 is the ability to log several measured values (selectable from any of the primary, secondary, or supplemental measured values) at a config-

urable rate (for example, once every five minutes) for a period ranging from several hours to a number of days

(depending on the configured sample rate and number of values to be recorded). The data will be stored in non-

volatile memory in the transmitter with date and time information for subsequent retrieval and visualization using the associated Model R80 DTM. TREND DATA A 15-minute trend of the PV can be displayed on the LCD. 50 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 3.5 Agency Approvals These devices are in compliance with the RED-directive 2014/53/EU, the EMC directive 2014/30/EU, the PED-directive 2014/68/EU, the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU and RoHS directive 2011/65/EU.

Some of these diagnostic options are best suit-

ed for use with PACTware and the Model R80 DTM, and should be implemented only after contact-

ing Magnetrol Technical Support. 4.1 Echo Rejection After choosing a proper mounting location, another way to ignore unwanted signals within the meas-

uring range is by utilizing the Echo Rejection feature. Setup using DTM/PACTware Select the Diagnostics tab and then the Echo Curve tab. After refreshing the waveform, click on the New Rejection Curve button. False Level Actual Level Press to Initiate Function 62 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter Click on NEXT at the loop warning message. A password window will then appear. Click OK. The system calculates the curve, and then saves it. Click OK to confirm. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 63 On the next screen, enter the actual location of the level to be measured. Press ENTER and then click on NEXT. Press NEXT to confirm. 64 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter The Live Curve and Rejection Curve will then be displayed as shown in the screenshot below. Actual Level A warning screen is shown that the loop can be returned to automatic control. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 65 4.2 Custom Echo Rejection INTRODUCTION The Pulsar Model R80 has a very unique feature that allows for a user to modify a Standard Echo Rejection curve. Custom Echo Rejection is a feature intended to allow a user to manually adjust the curve to account for undesirable waveform features (noise, disturbances, etc.) that may not have been captured by the initial Standard Echo Rejection curve. For example, undesirable signals may occur if the original echo rejection curve was taken at a time when mixing blades were stopped in a particular location. If the blades then later stop in a different location, a false echo from the blade could then appear in the live echo curve. Custom Echo Rejection can then be used to modify the Standard Echo Rejection curve in order to ensure that all false echoes are cancelled out of the waveform. The Custom Echo Rejection curve is offered in addition to the Standard Echo Rejection curve. Once a Custom Echo Rejection curve has been created, either curve is available for use by the user to reject unwanted echo echoes. The user has the ability to select which curve (or no curve) will be used for echo rejection. Since the local display does not have the ability to concurrently display the live and rejection echo curves, the manipulation of the echo rejection curve will be done in the DD and DTM only. The abil-

ity to view the two curves graphed together is essential in determining how the rejection curve should be modified to provide the desired outcome. When the Custom Echo Rejection curve is selected for use, the New Rejection Curve button will change to Modify Rejection Curve. Clicking on this button will guide a user through:

modifying an existing echo in the custom curve copying an echo from the live curve to the custom rejection curve resetting a Custom Echo Rejection curve back to the original form from which it was taken

(Standard Echo Rejection curve). OPERATION BEFORE STARTING: Note that changes to certain parameters cause the Echo Rejection profile to become invalid. Those parameter changes will invalidate both the Standard and the Custom rejection curves simultaneously, regardless of which echo rejection curve option is selected at the time. For example, making any changes to Gain parameters (Dielectric, Turbulence, Foam and Sensitivity) or Tank Height parameter will invalidate all Echo Rejection Curves whether Standard or Custom. 66 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter The Custom Echo Rejection curve can be modified in three ways:

1. Modify existing Echo Changing the amplitude or width of an existing echo in the Custom Rejection Curve is the most typi-

cal use of this method. For example, it can be used to account for the variations in mixing blade oper-

ation. If mixing blades are stopped when the initial curve was created, the next time the blades stop they may be in a slightly different position. The new blade position can result in a slightly different position of its echo. Echoes from the blade will appear in the echo curve as slightly shifted to the left or right compared to the echo in the original curve. The amplitude may also be somewhat different. In that case, expanding the width of the existing echo, or changing its amplitude would create an echo rejection curve that encompasses both the original echo and the new echo locations. 2. Add an Echo This is used to copy an echo from the live curve to the Custom Rejection Curve. This would be done in the event that a new echo was found in the live curve after the initial echo rejection curve had been saved. NOTE: In the case where the level at the time was higher in the tank, saving a new entire echo rejection curve would result in a lower portion of the rejection curve being lost. Therefore, it is beneficial in that circumstance to be able to add the echo to the existing custom curve so that the lower portion of the curve is retained. 3. Reset Custom Curve If the need arises to eliminate changes made during any of the previous modification procedures, Reset Custom Curve is used to reset the Custom Rejection Curve back to its original values. PROCEDURES Changing the widths and amplitude of an existing echo:

Modifying an existing echo in the custom rejection echo curve consists of the user identifying the desired echo and defining the changes to be made to that echo. The user begins the Customize Rejection Curve method in the DTM at Diagnostics/Echo Curve. 1. Ensure a Standard Echo Rejection has been captured before continuing (Standard Echo Rejection will appear as red curve on graph) Change Echo Rejection Type from Standard to Custom The New Rejection Curve button changes to Modify Rejection Curve; press button 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 67 Click on NEXT at the loop warning message. A password window will then appear. Click OK. 68 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter Click OK. Upon presentation of the Rejection echo list (including the echo amplitudes), along with a display of the present level, select the desired false echo to be modified. (The distance to the echo must be smaller than the distance to the level echo). 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 69 Revise left location and press ENTER. (Right location and/or strength can also be revised.) Click OK. New Rejected Area 70 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 4.3 Tank Profile Introduction Non-Contact radar transmitters are typically configured and commissioned with a static liquid level. Ideally, the installer will generate some level change after commissioning to verify proper operation, but rarely can one witness a complete fill and empty cycle of the vessel. Therefore, the transmitter configuration may not initially be optimized for the entire range of operation. Although previous versions of Magnetrol transmitters contain troubleshooting options for recording and saving diagnostic information such as Data Log, Event History, and Echo History, none contains a way for the device to automatically capture pertinent information for an entire fill and empty cycle. As this complete cycle could take hours, days or even weeks to complete, having this information will confirm proper operation for a given configuration or can provide precious information about the transmitter performance at troublesome levels in the tank. The information is stored in the transmitter, retrieved at a later time and evaluated by a qualified indi-

vidual who will decide the next steps to take. A few items to note:

1. The Tank Profile feature must be manually initiated. It is not an automatic feature. 2. The Tank Profile feature may be manually stopped at any time. 3. Before the feature starts capturing information, the transmitter configuration should be manually saved. This is not necessary for the operation of the feature but provides useful data for determining what configuration change may be warranted. 4. Although the ability to set up and run this feature will be available in all user interfaces (HART and FF LUI, DD and DTM), the results can only be graphically viewed in the corresponding DTM. For DD-based hosts, there is a DD method that will sequentially display the readings one level at a time. 5. The feature can be set to cover a smaller range than the entire tank. For example, some processes may only operate in a smaller range. 6. The increments can be set as a percentage of the Start/Stop range (Increment by %) or in Level/Distance units (Increment by Unit). 7. The information captured at each increment will be:

a. Time b. Level c. Distance d. Echo Strength e. Echo Margin f. Loop Current (HART only) g. Target Threshold h. Level Ticks i. BCSM state graph in the Tank Profile menu. 8. The saved minimum and maximum Echo Strength and Echo Margin readings can be viewed in a 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 71 SETUP The Tank Profile can be initiated in the DTM in the following manner:

1. Use SET CLOCK button to ensure transmitter clock is set properly 2. Choose LIMIT UNITS of Level or % Range 3. Choose INTERVAL, LIMITS and TIMES applicable to your needs. 4. TANK PROFILE STATUS will display Off , Running or Completed 5. Once computer is used to configure transmitter it does not have to stay connected. 6. Connect computer at later date to download captured data for analysis. 72 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 4.4 Echo Margin Echo Margin is a unique parameter that, when used along with Echo Strength can be a very useful troubleshooting tool. Echo Strength is taken from the standard Signal-to-Noise calculation and is simply defined as:

The amplitude of the Level echo in Echo Strength units (0-100) Echo Margin is defined as:

A numeric value that is related to the strength of the target peak relative to the Level Threshold or competing waveform features, i.e. "noise. The Echo Margin value (for the typical First Echo mode) is calculated as the difference of the False target-to-Threshold OR the Level target-to-Threshold whichever is SMALLER. 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter 73 By reporting the SMALLER value, Echo Margin does a better job of reporting which issue is most likely to become a problem:

False Target- if this echo becomes large enough to rise above the Threshold it will be mistakenly Level Echo- if this echo becomes small enough to fall below the Threshold the transmitter will reported as the Level. report Loss of Echo. Always examine both Echo Strength and Echo Margin values. Increasing a Gain parameter

(Dielectric, Turbulence, Foam or Sensitivity) will increase the amplitude of all echoes in the radar scene. If, after increasing a Gain parameter, the Echo Strength increases but the Echo Margin decreas-

es a False Target is reaching closer to the Threshold (see drawing above). If the False Target reaches above the Threshold it will be detected as a valid Level echo and will be incorrectly reported as Level. In this case running Echo Rejection will eliminate the False Target and increase the Echo Margin value. Echo Margin values >20 are a good goal. 4.5 Automated Echo Capture Unattended Echo Capture One of the ways the Model R80 simplifies an often complex technology like Radar, is to improve the speed at which a user can turn around a problem and get the device back online. Minimizing down time is the ultimate goal of any device. One of the most important tools used to troubleshoot a Radar application or optimize a transmitter configuration is the echo curve. This graphical representation of a Radar echo speaks volumes to those trained to interpret them. It is like a snapshot in time of the health of the transmitter. It is actually like seeing inside of the tank. However, the challenge with echo curves is acquiring them in a timely fash-

ion. Unfortunately, most problems develop when there is a skeleton crew and no one watching this particular vessel. By the time an instrument technician can investigate, the alarm has cleared and no one understands why it occurred or, more importantly, when it will happen again. Since an echo curve is so important in troubleshooting the device, it is critical to capture the curve at the instant a problem occurs. Too often this means connecting a laptop and gathering information AFTER the first signs of the problem, which is obviously not ideal. The advanced Pulsar Model R80 design is very effective at addressing this issue. This advanced design allows the transmitter to automatically capture an Echo Curve based on an Event (such as Loss of Echo) or Time (using the on-board clock). It is shipped from the factory so an echo curve is automatically captured based on key Events. The transmitter has the ability to store a number of echo curves in its on-board memory. These echo curves can then be downloaded to a laptop running software such as PACTware and reviewed in Diagnostics/Echo History tab. If necessary, the user can email this information to the factory for expert assistance in troubleshooting. This enables the problem to be resolved much more quickly, min-

imizing possible down time. 74 58-604 Pulsar Model R80 Radar Transmitter A number of points should be made in this example:

Curve 1 is showing the current Live echo Curve 2 is showing History 9 the 9th echo stored in memory which was automatically captured at 5:40 p.m. on 4/5/2017 This echo capture was triggered by the Low Echo Margin diagnostic SETUP NOTE: The transmitter is shipped from the factory configured to automatically capture Echo Curves based on Events with ALL Events being enabled. Automated Echo Capture is configured in the DTM in the following manner:

Open DTM to Diagnostics/Echo History 4.6 Event History Although Event History has been included (and found to be very useful) in other Magnetol devices, it has been improved in the Model R80. Event History becomes the main repository of all key Diagnostic and Configuration data. It now dis-

plays a history of the 20 most recent diagnostic indicators and configuration changes. For each event, the time when the event occurred and the duration of the event are shown. The table of history indi-

cators displays the most recent indicator at the top with preceding indicators in descending order. NOTE: A + suffix denotes the event remains active Key Features:

If in the Top or Bottom Blocking Distance zones the transmitter will read Full (Top) or Empty (Bottom). The Level reading (and mA value) will never be higher than the value related to the Top Blocking Distance or lower than the value related to the Bottom Blocking Distance.

They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly. Controls returned under our service policy must be returned by Prepaid transportation. The Model R80 transmitter is not serviceable in the field. Return to the factory for repair or replacement. Magnetrol will repair or replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if:

1. Returned within the warranty period; and 2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to be covered under the warranty. If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our con-

trol; or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges for labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the equipment. In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, cred-

it for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the applicability of our warranty. No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequen-

tial damage will be allowed. it So that we may efficiently process any materials that are returned, is essential that a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number be obtained from the factory, prior to the materials return. This is available through a Magnetrol local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information:

1. Company Name 2. Description of Material 3. Serial Number 4. Reason for Return 5. Application Any unit that was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance with OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany material that was used in any media. All shipments returned to the factory must be by prepaid transportation. All replacements will be shipped F.O.B. factory. PULSAR Radar transmitters may be protected by one or more of the following U.S. Patent Nos.:
