Pulsar® Model RX5 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter
Source: Magnetrol International
The Pulsar® pulse burst radar level transmitter is the latest generation of loop-powered, 24 VDC, liquid level transmitters. It has lower power consumption, faster response time and is easier to use than most loop-powered radar transmitters.
Operating Principle
PULSAR transmitter technology 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.
Applications
Media:
- Liquids and Slurries
- Hydrocarbons to Water Based Media
Vessels:
- Process and Storage Vessels up to rated temperature and pressure
- Pits and Sumps
- Non-Metallic Tanks
Features
- 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
- Antenna designs to +400° F (+204° C)
- Range up to 65 feet (20 meters)
- Quick connect/disconnect probe coupling allows vessel to remain sealed (patent pending)
- Safety Integrity Level (SIL) value of 1
Options
- HART® digital communications
- 316 stainless steel dual compartment enclosure
- 4" and 6" horn antennas
- Polypropylene and Teflon® rod antennas
