Serial Number 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 antistatic 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 equipment to a good, earth ground WARNING! Potential electrostatic charging hazard. Do not rub with dry cloth. 12 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 2.3 Before You Begin 2.3.1 Site Preparation Each PULSAR Model R96 Radar transmitter/antenna 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 PULSAR Model R96 Radar transmitter is complete and correct for the type of installation. See Specifications, Section 3.7. 2.3.2 Equipment and Tools • • • • • • • No special tools are needed. The following items are recommended: Threaded antenna and process connection . . . . 2" (50 mm) Transmitter/antenna connection. . . . . 13⁄4" (44 mm) wrench Transmitter adjustment . . . . . . . . . . . 11⁄8" (28 mm) wrench ................................................................3 ⁄32" Hex wrench Torque wrench . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . highly desirable Flat-blade screwdriver Digital multimeter or volt/ammeter . . . . . . . . . . . Optional 24 VDC (23 mA) power supply . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Optional 2.3.3 Operational Considerations Radar applications are characterized by three basic conditions; Dielectric (process medium), Distance (measuring range) and Disturbances (turbulence, foam, false targets, multiple reflections and rate of change). The PULSAR Model R96 Radar transmitter is offered with two antenna configurations—Horn (3", 4", 6") and Dielectric Rod. Ideally, the 6" (DN150) Horn antenna should be used to ensure the best possible performance in all operational conditions. 2.3.3.1 Maximum Distance The chart on the following page shows the maximum measuring range (Distance) of each antenna based on fundamental conditions of Dielectric, Distance and Turbulence. Distance is measured from the Sensor Reference Point (bottom of NPT thread, top of BSP thread or face of a flange). 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 13 R96 Maximum Recommended Measuring Range in feet (meters) Turbulence Medium or Heavy Turbulence None or Light Sensor Reference Point Sensor Reference Point Dielectric > 1.7 - 3 3 - 10 10 - 100 1.7 - 3 3 - 10 10 - 100 16 (5) 39 (12) 66 (20) 10 (3) 29 (9) 39 (12) 33 (10) 82 (25 131 (40) Antenna Type Dielectric Rod 4" Horn 6" Horn 16 (5) 39 (12) 52 (16) 2.3.3.2 Minimum Distance NPT Process Connection BSP Process Connection Sensor Reference Point ANSI or DIN Welded Flange If the liquid level is allowed onto the antenna, noise and media build-up drastically decrease reliable measurement. Liquid should not be allowed closer than 2 inches (50 mm) from the bottom of the antenna. 2.3.3.3 Problematic Applications; GWR Alternative • • • • • • 2" (50 mm) • Some application concerns can be problematic for NonContact Radar. For these, Guided Wave Radar is recommended: Extremely low dielectric media (εr<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.) During times of very low liquid levels of low dielectric media, the metal tank bottom may be detected which can deteriorate 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. When measurement close to flange is critical Extremely high liquid levels (Overflow) conditions when liquid very near the antenna can cause erroneous readings and measurement failure. Refer to ECLIPSE Model 706 bulletin 57-106 for additional information. 14 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 2.4 Mounting > 18" (45 cm) 1/2 Radius The PULSAR Model R96 Radar transmitter can be mounted to a vessel using a variety of process connections. Generally, either a threaded or flanged connection is used. For information about the sizes and types of connections available, see Antenna Model Numbers, Section 3.8.2. 2.4.1 Installing the Antenna Before installing, ensure that: • Model and Serial numbers on the nameplates of the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter and antenna are identical. • Process temperature, pressure, dielectric, turbulence and distance are within the antenna specifications for the installation. • Rod of a Dielectric Rod antenna is protected from bending or breaking; there is no metal sub-structure. • Insulating material is not placed around any part of the Radar transmitter including the antenna flange. • 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 following sections: Location, Beam Angle, Obstructions and Nozzles for specific information. • If the liquid level is allowed onto the antenna, noise and media buildup drastically decrease reliable measurement. Liquid should not be allowed closer than 2 inches (50 mm) from the bottom of the antenna. D ∝ ∝ 2.4.1.1 Location W 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 3.3.2, Echo Rejection. Mount in a location equal to 1⁄2 the radius of tank top. Do not mount in center of vessel nor closer than 18" (45 cm) of tank wall.

Ideally, the beam pattern should illuminate with microwave beam the maximum liquid surface with minimum contact with other objects in the vessel including the tank wall. Use the drawings at left to determine the optimum installation location. 15 2.4.1.3 Obstructions Almost any object that falls within the beam pattern will cause reflections that may be misinterpreted as a false liquid level. Although PULSAR Model R96 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 2.4.2.3 for additional information. 2.4.1.4 Nozzles Improper installation in a nozzle creates “ringing” that will adversely affect measurement. The antenna should always be mounted so the active section of the antenna is a minimum of 0.5" (12mm) outside the nozzle. Antenna extensions are offered to allow the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter to work reliably in nozzles with “L” dimensions of 1" (25 mm), 4" (100mm), 8" (200mm) or 12" (300mm). Standard antennas (no extension) are shown below for reference. See Section 3.7.6 for dimensional drawings of all antenna designs including nozzle extensions.

(Beyond 8", effects are negligible.) Diameter must be consistent throughout length; no reducers. Use only horn antennas sized to pipe inside diameter (ID); 3–6" (80–150mm); 8" pipe can use a 6" horn. Stillwell length must cover complete range of measurement (i.e., liquid must be in stillwell). Welds should be smooth. Vents: holes <0.5" diameter, slots <0.5" 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 (index mark) should be rotated 90° from process connections. Configuration must include an entry for the STILWELL I.D parameter. See Section 2.6.5. There will be some increased dielectric sensitivity; system gain will be reduced when STILWELL ID >0. 2.4.2 Installing the Transmitter PULSAR Model R96 Mounted in Stillwell (Bridle) inde • 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. Do not tighten the universal connector (large hex nut) nor the set screw on the housing base. The transmitter launcher must be oriented properly for optimal performance. • Do not place insulating material around any part of the radar transmitter including the antenna flange. 2.4.2.1 Orientation rk x ma 45° Polarization Pattern 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter The PULSAR Model R96 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 index mark located on the side of the launcher is oriented in the same direction as the polarization. The index mark is also present for reference(1 dot: GP/IS or 2 dots: XP). The launcher is considered to be at 0° when the index mark is closest to the tank wall. (See figures at left.) 17 2.4.2.2 Initial Installation (fa In Lau de n c ci x m he ng r a 45 rk °) Ideally, the transmitter should be mounted half the radius from the tank wall. Align the index mark so it is at an angle of 45 degrees to a line from the radar unit to the nearest tank wall. For horizontal cylindrical vessels, align the launcher (index mark) so it is facing along the long axis of the vessel. Once properly oriented, tighten set screws and Universal connector (30 ft-lbs (40 Nm) of force). 1/2 Radius 90° A transmitter mounted within 18" (45 cm) of a tank wall may demand orientation adjustments to limit multipath and optimize performance. See Section 2.4.2.3 Low Echo Margin. 45° Top View Mounted 1⁄2 radius NOTE: ALWAYS RUN THE ECHO REJECTION ROUTINE AFTER MAKING CHANGES TO MENU CHOICES (Antenna Model, Antenna Extension, Antenna Mount, Tank Height, Blocking Distance, Dielectric, Turbulence, Rate Change, Foam) or when launcher is repositioned. 2.4.2.3 Low Echo Margin Low Echo Margin has many potential causes. Following are two initial areas for investigation. Launcher Orientation: Initial launcher orientation is always 45 degrees (see Sections 2.4.1 & 2.4.2). In tall vessels and when antenna is mounted close to the tank wall, improvement in Echo Margin (signal quality) may be attained by rotating the launcher to 90 degrees. Set Screw Universal Connector • • • • • 18 Echo Loss: If the Level signal is lost repeatedly at a specific point in the vessel, it is usually a symptom that multipath (side-wall) reflections are causing cancellation by returning to the transmitter exactly 180° out of phase with the actual Level signal. This can be improved by utilizing the following procedure: Scroll to Display Config Menu under Device Setup. This menu shows both Level and Echo Margin. 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. When the Echo Margin reaches this low point, loosen both the Universal connector and the set screw. Slowly rotate the launcher clockwise approximately 10–20° (the transmitter can be rotated independently). Allow the unit to stabilize for approximately 1 minute. Repeat this process until the Echo Margin value is optimized. Without disturbing the position of the launcher, position the transmitter head back to its most convenient location. Tighten both the Universal connector (30 ft-lbs (40 Nm) of force) and Launcher set screw. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter NOTE: ALWAYS RUN THE TARGET REJECTION ROUTINE AFTER MAKING CHANGES TO MENU CHOICES (Antenna Model, Antenna Extension, Antenna Mount, Tank Height, Blocking Distance, Dielectric, Turbulence, Rate Change, Foam) or when launcher is repositioned. 2.5 Wiring Caution: HART versions of the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter operate at voltages of 11–36 VDC. FOUNDATION fieldbus™ versions operate at 9–17.5 VDC. Higher voltages will damage the transmitter. Wiring connections between the power supply and the PULSAR Model R96 Radar Transmitter should be made using 18–22 AWG (0.5–1mm2) shielded twisted pair instrument cable. Connections are made to the terminal strip and the ground connections within the top enclosure compartment. The directions for wiring the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter depend on the application: • General Purpose or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 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. Black (-) 2.5.1 General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) Red (+) A general purpose installation does not have flammable media present. Areas rated Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) have flammable media present only under abnormal conditions. (+) (-) No special electrical connections are required. Caution: If flammable media is contained in the vessel, the transmitter must be installed per Class I, Div 1 standards of area classification. 1. 2. 3. 4. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter To install General Purpose or Non-Incendive wiring: Remove the cover from the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening and use PTFE tape/sealant to ensure a liquid-tight connection. Install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw (not shown in illustration). 19 6. Replace and tighten the cover to the transmitter wiring compartment before applying power. 2.5.2 Intrinsically Safe An Intrinsically Safe (IS) installation potentially has flammable media present. An approved IS barrier must be installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area to limit the available energy out to the hazardous area. See Agency Drawing – Intrinsically Safe Installation, Section 3.5.1. To install Intrinsically Safe wiring: Black (-) Red (+) (+) (-) 1. Ensure that the IS barrier is properly installed in the safe area (refer to local plant or facility procedures). Complete the wiring from the power supply to the barrier and from the barrier to the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter. 2. Remove the cover from the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening and use PTFE tape/sealant to ensure a liquid-tight connection. 3. Install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 4. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply. 5. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw (not shown in illustration). 6. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 7. Replace and tighten the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter before applying power. 2.5.3 Explosion Proof Explosion Proof (also referred to as XP or flameproof ) is another method of designing equipment for installation into hazardous areas. A hazardous location is an area in which flammable gases or vapors are (or may be) present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. The wiring for the transmitter must be contained in Explosion Proof conduit extending into the safe area. • Due to the specialized design of the PULSAR Model R96 transmitter, no Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required within 18" of the transmitter. • An Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required between the hazardous and safe areas.

Configuring the Transmitter Although the PULSAR Model R96 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 configuration 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. Refer to I/O manual 58-640 for information on FOUNDATION fieldbus output. 2.6.1 Bench Configuration The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter can be easily configured at a test bench by connecting a standard 24 VDC power supply directly to the transmitter terminals as shown in the accompanying diagram. An optional digital multimeter is shown in the event that mA current measurements are desired. NOTE: Current measurements taken at these test points are an approximate value. Accurate current readings should be taken with the digital multimeter directly in series with the loop. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 21 NOTE: 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. NOTE: The transmitter can be configured without the antenna attached. Disregard any diagnostic indicators that may appear. 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 R96 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 highlight the item of interest Down Back Enter UP and ➪ Up ➪ ➪ ENTER allows modification of that selection DOWN to choose new data selection ➪ ENTER to confirm selection ➪ Use BACK (Escape) key at any time to abort the procedure and escape to previous branch item 22 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 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 Up Keystroke Action 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. 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. Back 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. Enter 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 positive 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 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. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter Back Returns to the previous menu without changing the original value, which is immediately redisplayed. Enter Accepts the displayed value and returns to the previous menu. 23 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 Up Keystroke Action Moves to the previous character (Z...Y...X...W). 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. Back 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 characters. Enter 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 R96 transmitter has three levels of password protection to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. 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. 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. 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. 24 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 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 R96 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure ➪ ➪ NOTE: Context-sensitive HELP is available for all menu items.

The electronics are housed in an ergonomic housing comprised of two tandem compartments angled at a 45 degree angle for ease of wiring and calibration. These two compartments connect via a watertight feed-through. 3.2 Theory of Operation Pulse 3.2.1 Pulse Burst Radar Pulse Burst PULSAR Model R96 is a top-mounted, downward-looking pulse burst radar operating at 6 GHz. Unlike true pulse devices (GWR, for example) that transmit a single, sharp (fast rise-time) waveform of wide-band energy, PULSAR Model R96 emits short bursts of 6 GHz energy and measures the transit time of the signal reflected off the liquid surface. Distance is calculated utilizing the equation: Distance = C × Transit time/2, then developing the Level value by factoring in application-specific configuration. 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. 1 ns 500 ns NPT Process Connection BSP Process Connection ANSI or DIN Welded Flange Distance = c × (time ÷ 2) Sensor Reference Point 36 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 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 R96 circuitry is extremely energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary to accomplish effective measurement. 3.2.2 Equivalent Time Sampling ETS, or Equivalent Time Sampling, is used to measure the high speed, low power EM (electromagnetic) energy. ETS is a critical key in the application of Radar to vessel level measurement technology. The high speed electromagnetic energy (1000 ft/µs) is difficult to measure over short distances and at the resolution 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 tank to collect thousands of samples. Approximately three scans are taken per second; each scan gathers more than 50,000 samples. 3.3 Configuration Information This section is intended to offer additional configurationrelated details with respect to some of the parameters shown in the Menu in Section 2.6. 3.3.1 Bottom Blocking Distance Description Level Units = inches Antenna Model = RA6 Antenna Mount = Flange 20 mA Tank Height = 82 in Bottom Blocking Distance = 0 in 82" 60" Dielectric Range = Above 10 4 mA 24" 4 mA = 24 in 20 mA = 60 in Example 1 The parameter referred to as Bottom Blocking Distance in the PULSAR Model R96 DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu is defined as the distance from the bottom of the tank to the lowest valid level reading. (The level reading will never be lower than the Bottom Blocking Distance.) The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter is shipped from the factory with Bottom Blocking Distance set to 0. With this configuration, level measurements are referenced from the bottom of the tank. See Example 1. Example 1 (Bottom Blocking Distance = 0 as shipped from factory): Application calls for a Model R96 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 24 inches and the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at 60 inches as referenced from the bottom of the tank. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 37 Level Units = inches Antenna Model = RA6 Antenna Mount = Flange Tank Height = 82 in 20 mA Bottom Blocking Distance = 10 in 82" Dielectric Range = Above 10 60" 4 mA 4 mA = 14 in 24" 10" 20 mA = 50 in Example 2 Level Units = inches Antenna Model = RA3 Example 2 (Bottom Blocking Distance = 10 inches): Application calls for a Model R96 antenna in an 82-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 R96 transmitter is mounted in a stillwell, 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 RA3 flanged antenna measuring water in a 3-inch ID. The user wants the 4 mA point to be 6 inches at the bottom process connection and the 20 mA point to be 36 inches at the top process connection. Antenna Mount = Flange 20 mA 48" 30" Tank Height = 48 in Bottom Blocking Distance = 6.0 in Dielectric Range = Above 10 4 mA 6" 3" 4 mA = 6 in 20 mA = 36 in Stillwell ID = 3 in Example 3 38 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 3.3.2 Echo Rejection Since all Non-Contact radar transmitters are application/installation dependent, Echo Rejection (ignoring false targets) is necessary. The Model R96 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 R96 DTM and PACTware™. Refer to Section 4.0 “Advanced Configuration/ Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL Technical Support for additional instructions. 3.3.3 Volumetric Capability Selecting Measurement Type = Volume and Level allows the Model R96 transmitter to measure volume as the Primary Measured Value. 3.3.3.1 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 System Units Vessel Type Explanation A selection of Gallons, Barrels, Milliliters, Liters, Cubic Feet, or Cubic Inches, is provided. (Factory default is Cubic Feet) 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. Note: Vessel Dims is the next screen only if a specific Vessel Type was selected. If Custom Table was selected. Refer to page 48 to select the Cust Table Type and Cust Table Vals. Vessel Dims Radius Ellipse Depth Conical Height See the vessel drawings on the following page for relevant measuring areas. Used for all Vessel Types with the exception of Rectangular. Used for Horizontal and Vertical/Elliptical vessels. Used for Vertical/Conical vessels. Width Used for Rectangular vessels. Length Used for Rectangular and Horizontal vessels. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 39 Vessel Types HORIZONTAL/SPHERICAL SPHERICAL HORIZONTAL/ELLIPTICAL VERTICAL/ELLIPTICAL VERTICAL/SPHERICAL RECTANGULAR VERTICAL/FLAT VERTICAL/CONICAL HORIZONTAL/FLAT 40 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 3.3.3.2 Configuration using Custom Table If none of the nine Vessel Types shown can be used, a Custom Table can be created. 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, or Cubic Inches, is provided. Vessel Type Select Custom Table if none of the nine Vessel Types can be used. Cust Table Type 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. Cust Table Vals 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. P9 P8 P2 P7 P6 P5 Transition point P4 P3 P1 P1 P2 Use where walls are not perpendicular to base. Concentrate at least two points at beginning (P1) and end (P9); and three points at either side of transition points. LINEAR SPLINE 3.3.4 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 R96 transmitter configuration. Unique to the Model R96 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. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 41 3.4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter is designed and engineered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating 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 troubleshooting. 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 R96 DTM. PACTware™ PC Program The PULSAR Model R96 offers the ability to perform more advanced diagnostics such as Trending and Echo Curve analysis using a PACTware DTM. 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. 3.4.1 Diagnostics (Namur NE 107) The PULSAR Model R96 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 diagnostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of a given application. The document recommends categorizing internal diagnostics into four standard status signals: 42 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 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 maintenance). Customer specific mapping of diagnostics to these categories allows for flexible configuration depending on the user's requirements. From an external Model R96 transmitter perspective, diagnostic information includes measurement of process conditions, in addition to detection of internal device or system anomalies. Analog Output Error Failure Function Check Echo Lost Out of Specification High Elec Temp Calibration Required Diagnostic Indicators Maintenance Required NE-107 Status Signals 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. In the FOUNDATION fieldbus version of the relay, diagnostic indicators can be mapped to multiple categories (e.g., as shown in the diagram at left). Indicators that are mapped to the Failure category will normally 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 R96 user interfaces will prohibit or reject such re-assignment entries). This is to ensure that current loop alarms are asserted in situations 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. 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 43 Refer to the Diagnostic Indicator tables in Section 3.4 for a complete listing of the Model R96 diagnostic indicators, along with their explanations, 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. 3.4.2 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 nameexplanation 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. 44 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter When the transmitter is operating normally and the highlight cursor is positioned on Present Status, the bottom LCD line displays “OK” because no diagnostic indicators are active. EVENT HISTORY – This menu displays the parameters related to diagnostic event logging. ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS – This menu displays parameters related to some of the advanced diagnostics available within the Model R96. 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 transmitter. • 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 UP and DOWN for navigation. 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 parameterrelated 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 R96 is the ability to log several measured values (selectable from any of the primary, secondary, or supplemental measured values) at a configurable 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 nonvolatile memory in the transmitter with date and time information for subsequent retrieval and visualization using the associated Model R96 DTM. TREND DATA – A 15-minute trend of the PV can be displayed on the LCD. 48 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter 3.5 Agency Approvals These units are in compliance with the EMC-directive 2004/108/EC, and the ATEX directive 94/9/EC.

These diagnostic options are best suited for use with PACTware and the Model R96 DTM, and should be implemented only after contacting Magnetrol Technical Support. 4.1 Echo Rejection In addition to proper mounting location and antenna polarization, another way to ignore unwanted signals within the measuring range 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 False Level 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter Actual Level 61 Click on NEXT at the loop warning message. On the next screen, enter the actual location of the level to be measured and then click on NEXT. A password window will then appear (unless the password was previously entered). Enter the password and click OK. Then the system calculates the curve, and then saves it. Click OK to confirm. 62 58-602 Pulsar® Model R96 Radar Transmitter A warning screen is shown that the loop can be returned to automatic control. At this point the echo rejection curve can be viewed by selecting Rejection Curve as Curve 2 in the lower left corner of the Echo Curve screen. The Rejection curve will then be displayed as shown in the screenshot below.

They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly. Controls returned under our service policy must be returned by Prepaid transportation. MAGNETROL will repair or replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if: So that we may efficiently process any materials that are returned, it is essential that a “Return Material Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the factory, prior to the material’s return. This is available through a MAGNETROL local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information: 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 control; 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, credit for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the applicability of our warranty. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Company Name Description of Material Serial Number Reason for Return 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. No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequential damage will be allowed.
