58-110 Model R82 Pulse Burst Radar Level Transmitter

Model R82
Pulse Burst Radar
Level Transmitter
D E S C R I P T I O N
The Magnetrol® Model R82 is an economical, loop-powered radar transmitter bringing radar to everyday applications. Daily applications that have been considered for
ultrasonic can now utilize the superior performance of radar
technology. The electronics are housed in a compact,
single compartment cast aluminum or Lexan® housing.
The R82 measures effectively even when atmospheres
above the liquid are saturated with vapor. Pulse Burst
technology and advanced signal processing manage
common disturbances such as false echoes caused by
obstructions, multi-path reflections from tank sidewalls
or turbulence caused by agitators, aggressive chemicals,
or aerators.
T E C H N O L O G Y
Model R82 Pulse Burst Radar emits short bursts of
26 GHz energy. High-speed timing circuitry measures the
time of the signal reflected off the liquid surface.
Sophisticated signal processing filters out false reflections
and other background noises. The exact level is then
calculated by factoring tank height and sensor offset
information. The Model R82 circuitry is extremely energy
efficient so duty cycling is not needed as it is with other
radar products. This allows tracking of high rates of level
change up to 180"/min (4.5m/min).
A P P L I C A T I O N S
MEDIA: Liquids and slurries; hydrocarbons to water
based media (dielectric 1.7–100).
VESSELS: Most effective in storage vessels up to rated
temperature and pressure. Pits and sumps, metallic and
non-metallic tanks, others including plastic, glass-lined
and concrete.
CONDITIONS: Virtually all level measurement and control applications including process conditions exhibiting
varying specific gravity and dielectric, visible vapors,
high fill/empty rates and some turbulence.
MARKETS: All process markets including replacement of
loop-powered, ultrasonic transmitters.

APPLICATIONS
Extensive Selection of
Primary Flow Elements
With a total of 35 flume and weir curves stored in
the electronics, it would be hard to find an open
channel flow application that cannot be handled
by the R82 transmitter. Unusual flow applications
can readily be accomplished through the use of
either the 20-point Custom Table or the Generic
Discharge Flow Equation which allows a direct
entry of unique flow equations.
Dual Flow Totalizers
Two 7-digit flow totalizers are provided for
recording flow in cubic feet, gallons, million
gallons, liters, million liters, or cubic meters.
One totalizer is resettable and the other is nonresettable. Several multipliers are selectable to
allow for proper scaling. Totalizer time is also
recorded to show how long each totalizer has
been recording flow.

The R82 transmitter is a top-mounted, downward-facing
pulse burst radar operating at 26 GHz. Unlike true pulse
devices (Eclipse Guided Wave Radar) which transmit a single, sharp (fast rise-time) waveform of wide-band energy
(Figure 1), the R82 emits short bursts of 26 GHz energy
(Figure 2) and measures the transit time of the
signal reflected off the liquid surface.
The exact level measurement is extracted from false target
reflections and other background noise via the use of
sophisticated signal processing. The R82 circuitry is
extremely energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary
to accomplish effective, measurement. For this reason it
can track high rates of change (180 inches [450 cm] per
minute) that have been impossible with existing loop-powered radar transmitters.
Distance is calculated utilizing the equation Distance equals
the Speed of light multiplied by the transit time divided by
two (Distance = C × Transit Time/2), then developing the
level value by factoring in tank height and sensor offset
information (Figure 3). The exact 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
a flange).
By inputting the type and geometry of a vessel, the electronics can calculate the liquid volume in the vessel. In a
similar operation, the Model R82 can perform open channel flow measurement by converting the level reading into
units of volume per time. Common tank shapes, flumes
and weirs are stored in the R82 software. A 20-point custom table is also available for unusual tanks or primary
flow elements.

The R82 Radar transmitter can be mounted to a vessel
using a variety of process connections. Generally either a
threaded or flanged connection is used.
L O C A T I O N
Ideally, the radar transmitter should be mounted 1⁄2 radius
from center, providing an unobstructed signal path to the
liquid surface where it should illuminate (with microwave
energy) the largest possible surface area. Do not install in
center of tank top or within 10 inches (25 cm) of tank wall.
Tank walls may produce reflections that must be minimized during field configuration (Orientation). Refer to
Figure 4.
B E A M
A N G L E
Figure 6 shows the beam angle for the R82 antennas.
Ideally, the beam pattern should illuminate the maximum
liquid surface with a minimum of striking other objects in
the vessel including the tank wall. Use these drawings to
determine the optimum installation location.
O B S T R U C T I O N S
Almost any object that falls within the beam pattern will
cause reflections that may be misinterpreted as a false
liquid level. Although the R82 has a powerful Echo
Rejection routine, all possible precautions should be taken
to minimize false target reflections with proper installation
and orientation. Refer to Figures 5 & 6.

Improper installation in a nozzle creates “ringing”
which will adversely affect measurement. Ideally,
the antenna should be mounted so the end of the
antenna is a minimum of 0.5" (12 mm) below the
nozzle (be sure to include any nozzle dimension
inside the vessel). Two antenna extension lengths
(2" or 8") are offered to allow the R82 transmitter to
work reliably in a variety of nozzles.

The Minimum Blocking Distance of 15" (380 mm),
BSP: 16" (405 mm) is always measured from the
bottom of the threads or face of a flange. The related
distance (as measured from the end of the antenna)
varies depending on the antenna extension chosen.
Refer to Figure 7.
When necessary, the narrow beam width of the
26 GHz R82 does allow mounting so that the antenna is recessed inside the nozzle. Optimally, the
recessed dimension should never exceed 2×
the nozzle diameter (Sch. 40 maximum). Refer to
Figure 8.

The R82 transmitter utilizes a linearly polarized, microwave
beam that can be rotated to improve its performance.
Proper orientation can minimize unwanted target reflections, decrease sidewall reflections (multipath) and maximize direct reflections from the liquid surface. The polarization pattern is parallel to the transmitter display when
the mechanism is at the #11 position. Refer to Figure 10.
Each index number represents 10 degrees of rotation.
In a typical vertical tank, the Launcher should be adjusted
so the polarization pattern is parallel to a line tangent to
the nearest tank wall. Refer to Figure 9.
For horizontal cylindrical vessels, direct the beam down
the long axis of the vessel.

The R82 can be mounted in a standpipe or stillwell but
certain considerations should be given:
• Metal stillwells only: 2" (50 mm), Sch. 40 maximum.
• Diameter must be consistent throughout length; no
reducers.
• Stillwell length must cover complete range of measurement (i.e., liquid must be in stillwell).
• Welds should be smooth.
• Vents: holes <0.125" diameter, slots <0.125" width.
• If an isolation valve is used, it must be a full-port ball
valve with an I.D. equal to the pipe diameter.
• Bridles/Bypass Installations: The launcher adjustment
(#9 position, default) should be rotated 90° from
process connections.

Some applications can be problematic for Pulse Burst
Radar. The following are examples of when Guided Wave
Radar is recommended.
• Extremely low dielectric media (εr<2.0).
• 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.).
• During times of very low liquid levels of low dielectric
media, the metal tank bottom may be detected
(deteriorating performance).

• 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
performance. It may be possible to receive most, some
or none of the transmitted energy.

• Extremely high liquid level (Overflow) conditions when
liquid is very near the antenna can cause erroneous
