1.0 QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide an overview
of the key steps required for mounting, wiring, and config-
uring the ECLIPSE Model 700 Guided Wave Radar level
transmitter. These procedures are intended for more experi-
enced installers of ECLIPSE transmitters (or other electron-
ic level measurement instruments).
Section 2.0, Complete Installation, offers more detailed
installation instructions for the first time user.
WARNING: Overfill-capable probes such as the Model 7zP or 7zT
should be used for any Safety Shutdown/Overfill appli-
cations.

The Model 700 transmitter, when used with an overfill


coaxial probe, is capable of measuring true liquid level all
the way up to the face of the flange or NPT connection.
This is a very unique advantage as compared to other
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) devices that may infer level
at the top of the probe when signals are lost or uncertain.
Refer to Section 3.2.5 for additional information on over-
fill capability.

Depending on the probe type, all other ECLIPSE probes


should be installed so the maximum overfill level is a
minimum of 150–300 mm (6"–12") below the flange or
NPT connection. This may include utilizing a nozzle or
spool piece to raise the probe. Consult factory to ensure
proper installation and operation.

1.1 Getting Started

• Make sure that all electrical connections are completely
made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip-
ment to a good, earth ground.

2.3 Before You Begin


2.3.1 Site Preparation
Each ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter is built to match the
physical specifications of the required installation. Ensure
that the probe process connection is correct for the threaded
or flanged mounting on the vessel where the transmitter will
be placed. See Mounting, Section 2.4.
Ensure that all local, state, and federal regulations and
guidelines are observed. See Wiring, Section 2.5.
Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and
ECLIPSE transmitter is complete and correct for the type
of installation. See Specifications, Section 3.6.

2.3.2 Equipment and Tools


No special equipment or tools are required to install the
ECLIPSE transmitter. The following items are recommended:
• Open-end wrenches (or adjustable wrench) to fit the process
connection size and type.
• Coaxial probe: 38 mm (1 1/2")
• Single Rod probe: 47 mm (1 7/8")
A torque wrench is highly desirable.
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Cable cutter and 3/32" hex wrench (for flexible cable probes
only)
• Digital multimeter (DMM)
• 24 VDC power supply, 23 mA minimum

2.3.3 Operational Considerations

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 13


2.4 Mounting
An ECLIPSE Model 700 GWR probe can be mounted on
to a tank 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 Probe Model Numbers, Section 3.7.2.
NOTE: Do not place insulating material around any part of the ECLIPSE
Model 700 transmitter as this may cause excessive heat buildup.
Ensure that all mounting connections are properly in place
on the tank before installing the probe.
WARNING! Overfill-capable probes such as the Model 7zP or 7zT
should be used for any Safety Shutdown/Overfill appli-
cations.
The Model 700 transmitter, when used with an overfill
coaxial probe, is capable of measuring true liquid level to
within specification all the way up to the face of the
flange or NPT connection. This is a very unique advan-
tage as compared to other Guided Wave Radar (GWR)
devices that may infer level at the top of the probe when
signals are lost or uncertain. Refer to Section 3.2.6 for
additional information on overfill capability.
All other ECLIPSE probes should be installed so the
maximum overfill level is a minimum of 150 mm (6")
below the flange or NPT connection. This may include
utilizing a nozzle or spool piece to raise the probe.
Consult factory to ensure proper installation and operation.

WARNING! Do not disassemble probe when in service and under


pressure.

NOTE: Model 7zP high pressure probe (containing a glass ceramic

NOTE: If using a removable single rod, ensure that all pieces are
assembled and connected before installation.
1. Ensure that the nozzle does not restrict performance by
ensuring the following (refer to figure at left):
• Nozzle is > 50 mm (2") diameter.
B • Ratio of Diameter: Length (A:B) is 1:1 or greater; any ratio
A
<1:1 (e.g., a 50 mm x 152 mm, 2"¥ 6" nozzle = 1:3) may
require a Blocking Distance and/or DIELECTRIC
RANGE adjustment.
2. No pipe reducers (restrictions) are used.
3. Probe is kept away from conductive objects to ensure prop-
er performance.
• See Probe Clearance Table below. A lower gain (increase in
DIELECTRIC RANGE setting) may be necessary to
ignore certain objects

2.6 Configuration

Although the ECLIPSE Model 700 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 below 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.

2.6.1 Bench Configuration


The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter can be easily config-
ured at a test bench by connecting a standard 24 VDC
power supply directly to the transmitter terminals.
When using a HART communicator for configuration, a
minimum 250-ohm line load resistance is required. Refer
to your HART communicator manual for additional
information.

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 19


2.6.2 Menu Traversal and Data Entry
The 4-button directional keypad push buttons offer vari-
ous forms of functionality for navigation and data entry.
The Model 700 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 capitalized 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 BACK (Escape) key at any time to abort the proce-


dure and escape to previous branch item.

20 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


2.6.2.3 Entering Numeric Data Using Digit Entry
This method is used to input numeric data, e.g., Probe
Length, set 4mA and set 20mA.
Push button Keystroke Action


Moves up to the next highest digit (0,1,2,3,....,9
Up or decimal point). If held down the digits scroll
until the push button is released.
Moves up to the next lowest digit (0,1,2,3,....,9 or
▲ Down decimal point). If held down the digits scroll until
the push button is released.
Moves the cursor to the left and deletes a digit. If
the cursor is already at the leftmost position,


Back
then the screen is exited without changing the
previously saved value.
▲ Moves the cursor to the right. If the cursor is
Enter 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 para-
meters such as Damping and Failure Alarm.

Push button Keystroke Action


Increments the displayed value. If held down


the digits scroll until the push button is released.
Up 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.
Decrements the displayed value. If held down the
digits scroll until the push button is released.
▲ Depending on which screen is being revised, the
Down
decrement amount may increase by a factor of
10 after the value has been decremented 10
times.
Returns to the previous menu without changing

Back the original value, which is immediately redis-


played.
Accepts the displayed value and returns to the

Enter
previous menu.

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 21


2.6.2.5 Entering Character Data
This method is used for parameters requiring alphanumer-
ic character entry, such as for entering tags, etc.
General Menu Notes:

Push button Keystroke Action


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

Enter cursor is at the rightmost position, then the


new tag is saved.

2.6.3 Password Protection


The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter has three levels of
password 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.

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.

22 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


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 700 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure


The following tables provide a complete explanation of the
software menus displayed by the ECLIPSE transmitter. The
menu layout is similar between the local Keypad/LCD
interface, the DD, and the DTM.

remote unit, such as a HART communicator, can be used to
provide a communication link to the ECLIPSE Model 700
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.

HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift keying technique
of high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 4–20
mA loop and requires 250 Ω load resistance. A typical con-
nection between a communicator and the ECLIPSE trans-
mitter is shown at left.

3.0 Reference Information
This section presents an overview of the operation of the
ECLIPSE Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Level
Transmitter, information on troubleshooting common prob-
lems, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and
recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional,
and performance specifications.

3.1 Transmitter Description

The ECLIPSE Model 700 is a loop-powered two-wire,


24 VDC, level transmitter based on the concept of Guided
Wave Radar.

3.2 Theory of Operation


3.2.1 Guided Wave Radar
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) combines Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR), Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)
and modern low power circuitry. This synthesis of technolo-
gies brings to the level market a high-speed radar circuit
(speed of light transmission). The electromagnetic pulses are

surement industry, it has been used for decades in the tele-
phone, computer, and power transmission industries. In
these industries, TDR is used to successfully find wire or
cable breaks and shorts. An EM pulse is sent through the
wire, traveling unimpeded until it finds line damage due
to a break or short. A reflection is then returned from the
damaged area of the wire, enabling a timing circuit to
pinpoint the location.

36 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


In the ECLIPSE transmitter, a waveguide with a characteristic
impedance in air is used as a probe. When part of the probe
is immersed in a material other than air, there is lower
impedance due to the fact that a liquid will have a higher
dielectric constant than air. When an EM pulse is sent
down the probe and meets the dielectric discontinuity that
occurs at the air/liquid surface, a reflection is generated.

3.2.3 Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)


ETS (Equivalent Time Sampling) is used to measure the
high speed, low power EM energy. ETS is a critical key in
the application of TDR to vessel level measurement tech-
nology. The high speed EM energy (305 m/s (1000 ft/s)) is
difficult to measure over short distances and at the resolu-
tion required in the process industry. ETS captures the EM
signals in real time (nanoseconds) and reconstructs them in
equivalent time (milliseconds), which is much easier to
measure with today’s technology.
ETS is accomplished by scanning the waveguide to collect
thousands of samples. Approximately five scans are taken
per second; each scan gathers more than 50,000 samples.

3.2.4 Interface Detection


The ECLIPSE Model 700, when used with the appropriate
probes, is a transmitter capable of measuring both an upper
level and an interface level. It is required that the upper
liquid have a dielectric constant between 1.4 and 10 and the
two liquids have a difference in dielectric constants greater
Reference than 10. A typical application would be oil over water, with

high speed timing circuitry provides an accurate measure of
liquid level. Even after some of the pulse is reflected from
the upper surface, energy continues down the length of the
probe through the upper liquid. The pulse is again reflected
when it reaches the higher dielectric lower liquid (refer to
figure at left). Since the propagation speed of the signal
through the upper liquid is dependent on the dielectric

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 37


constant of the medium in which it is traveling, the dielectric
constant of the upper liquid must be known to accurately
determine the interface level.
The thickness of the upper layer can be determined by
knowing the time between the first and second reflections
as well as the upper layer dielectric constant.
In order to properly process the reflected signals, the
Model 700 is specified for those applications where the
thickness of the upper layer is greater than 5 cm (2 inches).
The maximum upper layer is typically limited to the length
of the probe.
Emulsion Layers
As emulsion (rag) layers can decrease the strength of the
reflected signal, GWR offers best performance in applica-
tions having clean, distinct layers. However, the ECLIPSE
Model 700 transmitter will operate in most emulsions and
tend to read the top of the emulsion layer. Contact the
factory for application assistance and questions regarding
emulsion layers.

3.2.5 Overfill Capability
Although agencies like WHG or VLAREM certify Overfill
proof protection, defined as the tested, reliable operation
when the transmitter is used as overfill alarm, it is assumed
in their analysis that the installation is designed in such a
way that the vessel or side mounted cage cannot physically
overfill.
However, there are practical applications where a GWR
probe can be completely flooded with level all the way up
to the process connection (face of the flange). Although the
affected areas are application dependent, typical GWR
probes have a transition zone (or possibly dead zone) at the
top of the probe where interacting signals can either affect
the linearity of the measurement or, more dramatically,
result in a complete loss of signal.
While some manufacturers of GWR transmitters may use
special algorithms to “infer” level measurement when this
undesirable signal interaction occurs and the actual level
signal is lost, the ECLIPSE Model 700 offers a unique solu-
tion by utilizing a concept called Overfill-Safe Operation.
An Overfill-safe probe is defined by the fact that it has a
predictable and uniform characteristic impedance all the
way down the entire length of the waveguide (probe). These
probes allow the ECLIPSE Model 700 to measure accurate
levels up to the process flange without any non-measurable
zone at the top of the GWR probe.
Overfill-safe GWR probes are unique to ECLIPSE GWR,
and coaxial probes can be installed at any location on the
vessel. Overfill-safe probes are offered in a variety of coaxial
designs.

3.3 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

The ECLIPSE Model 700 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.

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 39


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 ECLIPSE Model 700
DTM.
PACTware™ PC Program
The ECLIPSE Model 700 offers the ability to perform
more advanced diagnostics such as Trending and Echo
Curve analysis using PACTware and a DTM. This is a pow-
erful 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.

3.3.1 Diagnostics (Namur NE 107)


The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter includes an extensive
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
Red Orange maintenance more efficient by standardizing diagnostics
information from field devices. This was initially integrated
via FOUNDATION Fieldbus™, but the concept applies regard-
less of the communication protocol.
According to the NAMUR NE 107 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:
• Failure
• Function Check
Yellow Blue • Out of Specification
• Maintenance required
These categories are shown by both symbols and colors,
depending on the display capability.

40 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


In essence, this approach ensures that the right diagnostic
information is available to the right person-at the right
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 700 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 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.
Diagnostic indicators can be mapped to multiple categories,
an example is shown in the diagram at left.

Refer to the table below for a complete listing of the
Model 700 diagnostic indicators, along with their explana-
tions, default categories, and recommended 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.

3.3.2 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.

3.3.4 Diagnostic Help
Selecting DIAGNOSTICS from the MAIN MENU
presents a list of ITEMS from the top level of the DIAG-
NOSTICS tree.
When Present Status is highlighted, the highest
MAGNETROL priority active diagnostic indicator (numer-
ically lowest in Table 3.3.3) is displayed on the bottom
LCD line, which is “OK” as shown at left. 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.
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.

3.3.5 Troubleshooting Application Issues


There can be numerous reasons for application-related
issues. Media buildup on the probe is covered here.
Media buildup on the probe is typically not a problem in
most cases — ECLIPSE circuitry works very effectively.
Media buildup should be viewed as two types:
• Continuous Film Coating
• Bridging
Continuous Film Coating
One type of potential application problem is when the
media forms a continuous coating on the probe. Although
the ECLIPSE Model 700 will continue to measure effectively,
some small inaccuracies may occur as the signal propagation
is affected by the thickness, length, and dielectric constant
of the coating.
It is a very rare case where filming causes a noticeable per-
formance degradation.
Bridging
A more common coating problem occurs when the process
medium is viscous or solid enough to actually clog, or
bridge, between the elements. This bridging can cause a
noticeable degradation in performance. For example, high
dielectric media (e.g., water-based) can be detected as level
at the location of the bridging.
Similarly, a problem can develop if the product begins to
build up on the spacers that separate the coaxial probe ele-
ments. High dielectric media (e.g., water-based) will cause
the greatest error.

46 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


Single rod GWR probes are typically the best probes for
applications with potential buildup, but other factors in the
application must be considered (such as mounting, sensitivi-
ty, etc). For this reason, the ECLIPSE Model 700 is offered
with a variety of coaxial and single rod probes, so the cor-
rect probe can be used for the given application.
Refer to Section 3.6.3 for viscosity specifications on the
various ECLIPSE probes.
Contact the factory for any questions regarding
applications with potential coating and buildup.

3.3.5.1 Model 700 (Single Rod Probe)


The Model 700 and Single Rod probe were designed to
¡ operate effectively in the presence of media building up.
Some expected error may be generated based upon the

the installation and application. The electromagnetic field

be less affected by external objects.

Nozzles
Due to the impedance mismatch that takes place at the end
of a nozzle, they can create false echoes that can cause diag-

On the other hand, a single rod probe mounted in the exact

3.4 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 2.6.5.

3.4.1 Level Offset Description


The parameter referred to as Level Offset in the ECLIPSE
Model 700 DEVICE SETUP/BASIC CONFIG menu is
defined as the desired level reading when liquid surface is
at the tip of the probe.
The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter is shipped from the
factory with Level Offset set to 0. With this configuration,
all measurements are referenced from the bottom of the
probe. See Example 1.

the probe extending six inches below the lower process
connection. The user wants the 4 mA point to
be 0 inches at the bottom process connection and the
20 mA point to be 30 inches at the top process connection.

3.4.2 End-of-Probe Analysis


Level Units = Centimeters A unique feature offered by the Model 700 ECLIPSE trans-
mitter is a feature called End-of-Probe Analysis (EoPA).
Probe Model = 7YG
Located in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG
Probe Mount = Flange
Menu, this feature is patterned after the “Tank-Bottom
20 mA Probe Length = 75 cm Following” algorithms of the early Non-Contact radar
transmitters. When the return signal from the level is lost,
30 cm
Level Offset = -15 cm this feature allows the Model 700 transmitter to infer level
Dielectric Range = measurement based on the apparent location of the end-of-

probe (EoP) signal.
4 mA 4 mA = 0 cm
15 cm Due to the fact that the propagation of the GWR signal is
20 mA = 30 cm affected by the dielectric constant of the medium in which
it is traveling, signals along the probe are delayed in propor-
Example 3
tion to the dielectric constant. By monitoring the location
of the (delayed) EoP signal and knowing the dielectric con-
stant of the medium, the level signal can be back-calculated,
or inferred.
The End-of-Probe Analysis feature is located in the
Advanced Config menu and requires an Advanced Password
to activate. Several additional parameters will need to be
configured for optimum performance.

NOTE: The accuracy of this level measurement mode is not that of


detecting true product level, and can vary depending on the
process. MAGNETROL recommends that this feature be used
only as last resort for measuring levels in those rare applica-
tions in which the level signals are inadequate, even after the
common troubleshooting techniques of gain increase and
threshold adjustment are implemented.
Refer to Section 4.0 “Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL
Technical Support for additional instructions.

50 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


3.4.3 Echo Rejection
Due to the fact that GWR transmitters are less susceptible
to obstructions in a vessel (as compared with Non-Contact
Radar transmitters) , early versions of the ECLIPSE trans-
mitters did not have Echo Rejection capability.
However, due to our vast experience in the field, we have
found that there are (albeit rare) occasions when it is desir-
able to have the ability to “ignore” unwanted signals along
the probe.
The Model 700 transmitter Echo Rejection feature is
located in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG
menu, and requires an Advanced Password to activate. It is
highly recommended that this feature be used with the
waveform capture capability of the Model 700 DTM and
PACTware™.
Refer to Section 4 “Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL
Technical Support for additional instructions.

3.4.4 Volumetric Capability


Selecting Measurement Type = Volume and Level allows the
Model 700 transmitter to measure volume as the Primary
Measured Value.

3.4.5 Open Channel Flow Capability
Selecting Measurement Type = Flow allows the Model 700
transmitter to measure flow as the Primary Measured Value.
Model 700 Open channel flow is performed by using the ECLIPSE
Flow Model 700 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.
Parshall
Flume The ECLIPSE Model 700 is the secondary measuring
device, which measures the Head of the liquid in the flume
or weir. Open channel flow equations stored in the trans-
mitter firmware convert the measured Head into units of

Flow Element 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 57 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 700 also has the capa-
bility of using a Generic Equation (see page 56) for flow calculation.

The Weir Crest Length screen only appears when the chosen Flow Element is
Weir Crest Length 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
the V-Notch weir.
The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point
Reference Dist 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-
Maximum Head selected Level Units. The Model 700 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
Maximum Flow
to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir.
The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow
Low Flow Cutoff value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a
default and minimum value of zero.

(Rectangular Weir without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir. Custom Table (see
page 57 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 700 also has the capa-
bility of using a Generic Equation (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
Generic Eqn Factors
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 700 into whatever Flow Units
are selected above. See example below.
The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point
Reference Dist 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-
Maximum Head selected level units. The Model 700 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
Maximum Flow
to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir.
The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow
Low Flow Cutoff value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a
default and minimum value of zero.

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

Using the factors above the equation becomes:


Q = 3.33 (8-0.2H) H1.5
n
Q = K(L-CH)H 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 700 Measured Values screen would
display this value converted to 57,490 GPM.

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
Flow Element 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 57 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 700 also has the capa-
bility of using a Generic Equation (see page 56) for flow calculation.
The Custom Table points can be a Linear (straight line between adjacent points) or
Custom Table 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
Cust Table Vals
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
Reference Dist 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-
Maximum Head selected Level Units. The Model 700 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
Maximum Flow
to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir.
The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow
Low Flow Cutoff value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a
default and minimum value of zero.

3.4.6 Reset Function
A parameter labeled “Reset Parameter” 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 700 transmitter configuration.
Unique to the Model 700 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 before performing a reset as the Advanced
User password will be required for this reset.

3.4.7 Additional Diagnostic/Troubleshooting Capabilities

3.4.7.1 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.

3.4.7.2 Context-sensitive Help


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. For interface
measurement mode, it selects the range bounding the
dielectric constant of the lower liquid medium. Some ranges
may not be selectable depending on the probe model.

3.4.7.3 Trend Data


The Model 700 has the ability to log several measured val-
ues (selectable from any of the primary, secondary, or sup-
plemental measured values) at a configurable rate (for exam-
ple, once every five minutes) for a period ranging from sev-
eral hours to a number of days (depending on the config-
ured sample rate and number of values to be recorded). The
data will be stored in non-volatile memory in the transmit-
ter with date and time information for subsequent retrieval
and visualization using the associated Model 700 DTM.

4.0 Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques
This section contains information regarding some of the
advanced configuration and troubleshooting capability con-
tained within the Model 700 transmitter. These diagnostic
options are best suited for use with PACTware and the
Model 700 DTM, and should be implemented only after
contacting MAGNETROL Technical Support.

4.1 End-of-Probe Analysis (EOPA)

Note that due to the operation of this method, End of


Probe Analysis cannot be applied with interface measure-
ment, applications with a "water" bottoms, or with stratify-
ing liquids. Therefore, EOPA will not be available when
Measurement Type = Interface & Level.
When EOPA is enabled and the calculated (inferred level) is
being used, a diagnostic warning shown as "Inferred Level”
will be present.

4.1.1 Enable EOPA using PACTware


Click on the Device Setup tab, and then select Advanced
Config. In the lower left corner select the correct Polarity
for the End of Probe pulse, then turn on the EoP Analysis.
The Eop Dielectric box will then appear. Fill in the correct
Dielectric of the process medium being measured.

80 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


4.1.2 Enable EOPA using keypad/LCD

From the MAIN MENU, select DEVICE SETUP and


press Enter.

Scroll down to ADVANCED CONFIG, and press Enter.

Scroll down to ENDof PROBE ANALYSIS, and press Enter.

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 81


Enter the correct polarity for EoP Polarity, turn on EoP
Analysis, and then enter the correct value for EoP
Dielectric. EoP Dielectric is the dielectric constant of the
process medium being measured.

4.2 Sloped Threshold

The Sloped Threshold option contained in the Model 700


allows the user additional level detection capability by
allowing the threshold to be sloped (bent) around an
unwanted signal. The result is a convenient way to ignore
undesired signals.
The use of PACTware and the Model 700 DTM is recom-
mended for this option.
Using PACTware, click on the Device Setup tab, and then
select Advanced Config.
In the Threshold Settings section, select “Sloped” within in
the Lvl Tresh Mode dropdown box.
Then set the Sloped Start Value, Lvl Tresh Value, and
Sloped End Distance.

BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter 83
4.3 Echo Rejection

Another way to ignore unwanted signals along the length of


the probe is by utilizing the Echo Rejection feature.

Setup using PACTware

Select the Diagnostics tab and then the Echo Curve tab.
Then click on New Rejection Curve

Click on OK at the loop warning message.

84 BE 57-660 Eclipse Model 700 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter


On the next screen, enter the actual process media location
and then hit OK.

A password window will then appear (unless the password


was previously entered). Enter the password and hit OK.
Then the system calculates the curve, and then saves it. Hit
OK to confirm.

A warning screen is then shown so that the loop can be


returned to automatic control.

4.4 Buildup Detection

A unique feature contained within the Model 700 can be


used to obtain an indication of buildup along the length of
the probe. This can be set as the HART SV or TV which
can be monitored in the control room. An algorithm com-
pares the buildup echo strength as compared to the Lvl
Thrsh Value, and outputs value in percent.
