Pulse Burst Radar Level Transmitter D E S C R I P T I O N The Pulsar® Radar transmitter is the latest generation of loop-powered, 24 VDC, level transmitters. It has lower power consumption, faster response time and is easier to use than most loop-powered radar transmitters. 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® Guided Wave Radar. These transmitters offer the ultimate solution to the vast majority of process level applications. T E C H N O L O G Y The PULSAR Radar transmitter is based on pulse burst radar technology together with equivalent time sampling circuitry. Short bursts of 5.8 or 6.3 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. 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 process or storage vessels up to rated temperature and pressure. Pits and sumps as well as non-metallic tanks such as 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, turbulence, low to moderate foam and buildup. F E A T U R E S • Two-wire, 24 VDC loop-powered level transmitter • PACTware™ PC Program using HART® communication for advanced configuration and troubleshooting. (see bulletin 59-101) • Performance not process dependent (changing specific gravity and dielectric have no effect) • 5.8/6.3 GHz operating frequency offers superior performance in the tougher applications of turbulence, foam, and heavy vapors • False Target setup is simple, intuitive and effective • Will reliably track extremely rapid rate of change up to 180 inches (450 cm)/minute • Antenna designs to +400° F (+204° C), -14.7 to 750 psig (-1.0 to 51.7 bar) • Range up to 65 feet (20 meters) • Quick connect/disconnect antenna coupling allows vessel to remain sealed (patent pending) • Extremely low output at antenna: < .01 mW (avg), < 2 mW (max); hundreds of times less than a cell phone • Safety Integrity Level (SIL) value of 1 (SFF 73.7%) A P P L I C A T I O N S P U L S E B U R S T S T O R A G E A N D R A D A R I N T E R M E D I A T E H O L D I N G T A N K S CONDITIONS – Calm Surfaces R E A C T O R S E N C L O S E D CONDITIONS – Turbulence and Foam CONDITIONS – Turbulence, Foam, and Changing Dielectric 2 S U M P S A P P L I C A T I O N S P U L S E B U R S T M I X E R S A N D R A D A R B L E N D I N G V E S S E L S CONDITIONS – Turbulence, Foam, and Changing Dielectric C H A M B E R S A N D B Y P A S S P R O B L E M A T I C G U I D E D W A V E A P P L I C A T I O N S R A D A R A L T E R N A T I V E 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 very near the antenna can cause erroneous readings and measurement failure. Refer to ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar bulletin 57-101. 3 T E C H N O L O G Y P U L S E B U R S T R A D A R Pulse PULSAR is a top-mounted, downward-looking pulse burst radar operating at 5.8 GHz (Europe) or 6.3 GHz (North America). Unlike true pulse devices (ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar) which transmit a single, sharp (fast rise-time) waveform of wide-band energy (Figure 1), PULSAR emits short bursts of 5.8 or 6.3 GHz energy (Figure 2) and measures the transit time of the signal reflected off the liquid surface. 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). The exact level measurement is extracted from false target reflections and other background noise via the use of sophisticated signal processing. The new PULSAR circuitry is extremely energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary to accomplish effective measurement. For this reason PULSAR can track high rates of change (180 inches [450 cm] per minute) that were heretofore impossible with existing loop-powered radar transmitters. E Q U I V A L E N T T I M E S A M P L I N G 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 EM 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 vessel to collect thousands of samples. The round-trip event on a 65-foot (20 meter) tank takes only 133 nanoseconds in real time. After it is reconstructed in equivalent time it measures 200 milliseconds. 4 Figure 1 Pulse Burst 1 ns 500 ns Distance = c × (time ÷ 2) Figure 2 O P E R A T I O N A L C O N S I D E R A T I O N S Radar applications are characterized by three basic conditions: • Dielectric Sensor Reference Point Sensor Offset (+) Blocking Distance • Distance (measuring range) • Disturbances (turbulence, foam, false targets, multiple reflections and rate of change) 20 mA Safety Zone Distance The PULSAR Radar transmitter is offered with four antenna configurations: • Polypropylene Dielectric Rod Sensor Offset + Tank Height = Distance from process connection to tank bottom Tank Height Media Level • TFE Dielectric Rod • All-Plastic Dielectric Rod: Polypropylene or Halar® 4 mA Lowest Measurable Value • 4" (100 mm) Horn • 6" (150 mm) Horn Level Offset Maximum measuring range (distance) is calculated as Tank Height + Sensor Offset. Refer to Figure 3. It is measured from the sensor reference point (bottom of NPT thread, top of BSP thread, or face of flange). Ideally the 6" (150 mm) horn antenna should be used to ensure the best possible performance in all operational conditions. Since that is impractical, other antennas are available. The chart shows the maximum measuring range of each antenna based on dielectric and turbulence. Refer to Figure 4. Noise and media buildup drastically decrease reliable measurement; although, it is theoretically possible to measure a liquid level on the antenna. Liquid should not be allowed closer than 2 inches (50 mm) from the bottom of the antenna due to the decrease in accuracy when liquid level is present on the antenna. Refer to Figure 5.

Generally either a threaded or flanged connection is used. 1/2 Radius 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 18 inches (45 cm) of tank wall. Tank walls may produce reflections that must be minimized during field configuration (Orientation). Refer to Figure 6. B E A M A N G L E The various antenna designs exhibit different beam patterns. Figure 8 shows the beam angles for all PULSAR antennas. Ideally the beam pattern should illuminate the maximum liquid surface with a minimum striking other objects in the vessel including the tank wall. Use these drawings to determine the optimum installation location. Figure 6 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 PULSAR has a powerful False Target Rejection routine, all possible precautions should be taken to minimize false target reflections with proper installation and orientation.
