•
Multivariable two-wire, 24 VDC loop-powered
transmitter for level or volume
•
Performance not process dependent (changing
specific gravity and dielectric have no effect)
•
6 GHz operating frequency offers superior perform-
ance in the tougher applications with turbulence,
foam, and heavy vapors
•
Echo Rejection setup is simple, intuitive and effective
•
Antenna designs to +400°F (+200°C),
-14.7 to 750 psig (-1.0 to 51.7 bar)
•
Range up to 130 feet (40 meters)
•
Quick connect/disconnect antenna coupling allows
vessel to remain sealed
•

The Pulsar
®
R96 Radar transmitter is the latest
generation of Magnetrol
®
24 VDC, loop-powered, non-
contact radar transmitters. Enhanced performance and
innovative diagnostics bring simplicity to an often
complicated technology.
This latest entry into the radar level measurement field
is designed to provide unparalleled performance and
ease of use. PULSAR non-contact radar is the perfect
compliment to the MAGNETROL Eclipse
®
Model 706
Guided Wave Radar transmitter. Together, these trans-
mitters offer the ultimate solution to the vast majority of
process level applications.

The PULSAR Radar transmitter is based on pulse burst
radar technology combined with equivalent time sam-
pling circuitry. Short bursts of 6 GHz microwave energy
are emitted and subsequently reflected from the liquid
level surface. Distance is calculated by the equation
D = Transit time (round-trip)/2
. Liquid level is then
calculated by applying the tank height value.

MEDIA:
Liquids and slurries; hydrocarbons to water-
based media (dielectric 1.7–100)
VESSELS:
Most metal and concrete process or storage
vessels up to rated temperature and pressure. Pits and
sumps as well as glass-lined tanks.
CONDITIONS:
Virtually all level measurement and
control applications including process conditions
exhibiting varying specific gravity and dielectric,
visible vapors, high fill/empty rates, turbulence, low
to moderate foam and buildup.
