Magnetrol introduces new non-contact radar transmitter

Technology

Magnetrol International has launched the PULSAR Model R86 non-contact radar transmitter, an advanced level control solution that offers radar technology with improved performance for a wide range of level measurement applications

The PULSAR Model R86 is designed to provide outstanding accuracy, reliability and safety for virtually all process industries, according to the company.

The 26GHz radar signal has a smaller wavelength, resulting in smaller antennas and improved 1mm resolution, assuring precise, dependable control for a complete spectrum of level applications.

The user interface experience of the PULSAR Model R86 is driven by advanced diagnostics that transforms the way that radar level measurement is used. Automated echo capture conveys real-time waveform and trend data so users can assess the situation at a glance. In addition, the event history shows up to 20 events including diagnostic and configuration data to pinpoint any issues. Troubleshooting tips are also given to provide practical solutions that can help companies reduce downtime.

The PULSAR Model R86 uses circular polarisation, which means there’s no need to rotate the antenna to ensure proper orientation, thereby simplifying installation and delivering proper alignment in virtually every application. High temperature antennas are designed for use in extremely demanding applications and punishing conditions up to 400oC (750oF). There are also nozzle extensions of various sizes available.
