1.0 QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide an overview
of the key steps required for mounting, wiring, and config-
uring the ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar level
transmitter. These procedures are intended for more experi-
enced installers of ECLIPSE transmitters (or other electron-
ic level measurement instruments).
Section 2.0, Complete Installation, offers more detailed
installation instructions for the first time user.
WARNING: Overfill-capable probes such as the Model 7yD, 7yG,
7yJ, 7yL, 7yP, or 7yT should be used for all Safety
Shutdown/Overfill applications.
The Model 706 transmitter, when used with an overfill

coaxial or caged probe, is capable of measuring true
liquid level all the way up to the face of the flange or NPT
connection. This is a very unique advantage as com-
pared to other Guided Wave Radar (GWR) devices that
may infer level at the top of the probe when signals are
lost or uncertain. Refer to Section 3.2.6 for additional
information on overfill capability.
Depending on the probe type, all other ECLIPSE probes

should be installed so the maximum overfill level is a
minimum of 6"-12" (150–300 mm) below the flange or
NPT connection. This may include utilizing a nozzle or
spool piece to raise the probe. Consult factory to ensure
proper installation and operation.
1.1 Getting Started
Have the proper equipment, tools, and information

available before beginning the QuickStart Installation
procedures.

1.2 QuickStart Mounting
Ensure that the configuration style and process connection

size/type of the ECLIPSE transmitter and probe matches
the requirements of the installation before continuing with
the QuickStart installation.

For optimal performance (and correlation to the Calibration
Certificate included with all units), confirm the model and
serial numbers shown on the nameplates of the ECLIPSE
probe and transmitter are identical.
NOTES: For applications using the Model 7yS Steam Probe, it is
mandatory to keep the transmitter and probe matched as a set.
(Refer to Section 3.2.5 for additional information regarding sat-
urated steam applications.)
To avoid moisture ingress in the housing, covers should be fully
tightened at all times. For same reason, conduit entries should
be properly sealed.
1.2.1 Probe
1. Carefully place the probe into the vessel. Align the probe
process connection with the threaded or flanged mounting
on the vessel.
2. Tighten the hex nut of the probe process connection or
flange bolts.
NOTES: Leave the plastic protective cap in place on the probe until you
are ready to install the transmitter. Do not use sealing com-
pound or TFE tape on probe connection to transmitter as this
connection is sealed with a Viton® o-ring.
If using a segmented probe or removable rod, ensure that all
pieces are assembled and connected before installation.
√ ƒ 1.2.2 Transmitter
3. Remove the protective plastic cap from the top of the probe
and store for future use. Make sure the top probe connector
¬ ≈ (male connection) is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl
alcohol and cotton swabs if necessary.
4. Carefully place the transmitter onto the probe. Align the
¡
universal connection at the base of the transmitter housing
with the top of the probe. Only hand-tighten the connec-
¿ tion at this point in time.
5. Rotate the transmitter so that it is in the most convenient
position for wiring, configuring and viewing.
6. Using a 11⁄2" (38 mm) wrench, tighten the universal connec-
tion on the transmitter 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 turn beyond hand-tight. As
this is a critical connection, a torque wrench is highly
recommended to obtain 45 ft-lbs (60 Nm).
DO NOT LEAVE HAND-TIGHT.
NOTE: The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter can be supplied with a
universal connector containing lock screws for applications
with significant vibration. Contact the factory for additional
information.

2.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Handling Procedure
MAGNETROL electronic instruments are manufactured to

the highest quality standards. These instruments use elec-
tronic 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 anti-
static 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 equip-
ment to a good, earth ground.

7yJ, 7yL, 7yP, or 7yT should be used for all Safety
Shutdown/Overfill applications.
The Model 706 transmitter, when used with an overfill
coaxial or caged probe, is capable of measuring true
liquid level to within specification all the way up to the
face of the flange or NPT connection. This is a very
unique advantage as compared to other Guided Wave
Radar (GWR) devices that may infer level at the top of the
probe when signals are lost or uncertain. Refer to Section
3.2.6 for additional information on overfill capability.
All other ECLIPSE probes should be installed so the
maximum overfill level is a minimum of 6" (150 mm)
below the flange or NPT connection. This may include
utilizing a nozzle or spool piece to raise the probe.
Consult factory to ensure proper installation and operation.
WARNING! Do not disassemble probe when in service and under

pressure.
NOTE: Models 7yD, 7yJ, 7yL, 7yM, 7yN, 7yP and 7yS High
Temperature/High Pressure probes (containing a glass ceramic
alloy process seal) should be handled with extra care. Only
handle these probes by the flanges or NPT connections.
2.4.1 Installing a Coaxial Probe

(Models 7yD, 7yP, 7yS, and 7yT)
Before installing, ensure that:
• The model and serial numbers shown on the nameplates of
the ECLIPSE probe and transmitter are identical. For opti-
mal performance (and correlation to the Calibration
Certificate included with all units), transmitters and probes
should be installed as a matched set.
NOTE: For applications using the Model 7yS Steam Probe, it is
mandatory to keep the transmitter and probe matched as a
set. Refer to Section 3.2.5 for additional information regarding
saturated steam applications.
• Probe has adequate room for installation and has unob-

Specifications, Section 3.6.
2.4.1.1 To install a coaxial probe:

1. Ensure that the process connection is the correct threaded
or flanged mounting.
2. Carefully place the probe into the vessel. Properly align the
gasket on flanged installations.
3. Align the probe process connection with the threaded or
flanged mounting on the vessel.
4. For threaded connections, tighten the hex nut of the probe
process connection. For flanged connections, tighten flange
bolts.
NOTE: If the transmitter is to be installed at a later time, do not remove

the protective cap from the probe.
NOTE: Do not use sealing compound or TFE tape on probe connec-

tion to transmitter as this connection is sealed by a Viton®
o-ring.
2.4.2 Installing a Segmented Coaxial Probe

1. 2. 1. Use the large installation plate with the 1.88" slot (provided
with the order) to hold the lower section of the outer tube.
Using two 2" wrenches, tighten couplings. Threads will be
self-locking.
Repeat for the second outer tube section.
2. Use the smaller installation plate to hold the lower section
of the extension shaft, resting one of the spacers on the
plate. Using two 1⁄2" wrenches, tighten extension shaft
coupling. Secure with set screws.
Repeat for the second extension shaft section.
3. 4.
3. Using two 1⁄2" wrenches, attach the middle extension shaft
segment to the top segment (built into the probe head).
The flange gasket should be in place before assembling this
joint. It may be taped to the probe flange to hold it out of
the way.

2.5 Wiring
Caution: HART versions of the ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter
operate at voltages of 11–36 VDC, FOUNDATION fieldbus
versions operate at 9–17.5 VDC, and Modbus versions
operate at 8–30 VDC. Higher voltages will damage the
transmitter.
Wiring connections between the power supply and the
ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter should be made using
18–22 AWG 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 ECLIPSE 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.
2.5.1 General Purpose or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)

A general purpose installation does not have flammable
media present.
Areas rated Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) have flammable
Black (-) Red (+) media present only under abnormal conditions.
No special electrical connections are required.

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 ECLIPSE 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. See Agency

The ECLIPSE Model 706 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.

2.7 Configuration Using HART
A HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)

remote unit, such as a HART communicator, can be used to
provide a communication link to the ECLIPSE Model 706
transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same
system measurement readings shown on the transmitter are
also shown on the communicator. The communicator can
also be used to configure the transmitter.
The HART communicator may need to be updated to
include the ECLIPSE Model 706 software (Device
Junction
Descriptions). Refer to your HART Communicator Manual
for update instructions.
One can also access configuration parameters using
RL > 250 Ω
- + PACTware and the Model 706 DTM, or using the AMS
with EDDL.
2.7.1 Connections
Control
Room
Display A HART communicator can be operated from a remote
Power location by connecting it to a remote junction or by con-
Supply
necting it directly to the terminal block in the wiring com-
partment of the ECLIPSE transmitter.
Current
Meter HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift keying technique
of high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 4–20
mA loop and requires 250 Ω load resistance. A typical con-
nection between a communicator and the ECLIPSE trans-
mitter is shown at left.
2.7.2 HART Communicator Display

A typical communicator display is an 8-line by 21-character
LCD. When connected, the top line of each menu displays
the model (Model 706) and its tag number or address. For
detailed operating information, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the HART communicator.

3.0 Reference Information
This section presents an overview of the operation of the
ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Level
Transmitter, information on troubleshooting common prob-
lems, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and
recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional,
and performance specifications.
3.1 Transmitter Description
The ECLIPSE Model 706 is a loop-powered two-wire,

24 VDC, level transmitter based on the concept of Guided
Wave Radar.
The ECLIPSE Model 706 electronics are housed in an
ergonomic housing comprised of two tandem compartments
angled at a 45-degree angle for ease of wiring and calibra-
tion. These two compartments connect via a watertight
feedthrough.
3.2 Theory of Operation
3.2.1 Guided Wave Radar

24 VDC, 4-20 mA
Loop Powered
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) combines Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR), Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)
and modern low power circuitry. This synthesis of technolo-
gies brings to the level market a high-speed radar circuit
Transmit Pulse (speed of light transmission). The electromagnetic pulses are
A reflection is
propagated via a waveguide that yields a system many times
developed off the
liquid surface
more efficient than through-air radar.
Air εr = 1
3.2.2 Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)

Media ε r > 1.4 TDR uses pulses of electromagnetic (EM) energy to mea-
A small amount of energy
continues down the probe
sure distances or levels. When a pulse reaches a dielectric
in a low dielectric fluid,
e.g. hydrocarbon
discontinuity (created by the surface of a process medium),
part of the energy is reflected. The larger the dielectric
discontinuity, the larger the amplitude (strength) of the
reflection.
Although TDR is relatively new to the industrial level mea-
surement industry, it has been used for decades in the tele-
phone, computer, and power transmission industries. In
these industries, TDR is used to successfully find wire or
cable breaks and shorts. An EM pulse is sent through the
wire, traveling unimpeded until it finds line damage due
to a break or short. A reflection is then returned from the
damaged area of the wire, enabling a timing circuit to
pinpoint the location.

In the ECLIPSE transmitter, a waveguide with a characteristic
impedance in air is used as a probe. When part of the probe
is immersed in a material other than air, there is lower
impedance due to the fact that a liquid will have a higher
dielectric constant than air. When an EM pulse is sent
down the probe and meets the dielectric discontinuity that
occurs at the air/liquid surface, a reflection is generated.
3.2.3 Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)

ETS (Equivalent Time Sampling) is used to measure the
high speed, low power EM energy. ETS is a critical key in
the application of TDR to vessel level measurement tech-
nology. The high speed EM energy (1000 ft/s) 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 waveguide to collect
thousands of samples. Approximately 5 scans are taken per
second; each scan gathers more than 50,000 samples.
3.2.4 Interface Detection

The ECLIPSE Model 706, when used with the appropriate
probes, is a transmitter capable of measuring both an upper
level and an interface level. It is required that the upper
liquid have a dielectric constant between 1.4 and 10 and the
Reference
Signal two liquids have a difference in dielectric constants greater
than 10. A typical application would be oil over water, with
Air
the upper layer of oil being non-conductive with a dielectric
(ε = 1) constant of approximately 2 and the lower layer of water
being very conductive with a dielectric constant of approxi-
mately 80. This interface measurement can only be accom-
Low Dielectric
Upper Level
Medium
plished when the dielectric constant of the upper medium is
Signal
(e.g. oil, ε = 2) lower than the dielectric constant of the lower medium.
Interface
Level
Signal
Emulsion Layer As mentioned above ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar is based
High Dielectric upon the technology of TDR, which utilizes pulses of elec-
Medium tromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide (probe).
(e.g. water, ε = 80)
Time
When the transmitted pulse reaches a liquid surface that has
a higher dielectric constant than the air (dielectric constant
Interface Detection of 1) in which it is traveling, the pulse is reflected and ultra
high speed timing circuitry provides an accurate measure of
liquid level. Even after some of the pulse is reflected from
the upper surface, energy continues down the length of the
probe through the upper liquid. The pulse is again reflected
when it reaches the higher dielectric lower liquid (refer to
figure at left). Since the propagation speed of the signal
through the upper liquid is dependent on the dielectric

constant of the medium in which it is traveling, the dielectric
constant of the upper liquid must be known to accurately
determine the interface level.
The thickness of the upper layer can be determined by
knowing the time between the first and second reflections
as well as the upper layer dielectric constant.
In order to properly process the reflected signals, the
Model 706 is specified for those applications where the
thickness of the upper layer is greater than 2 inches (5 cm).
The maximum upper layer is typically limited to the length
of the probe.
Emulsion Layers
As emulsion (rag) layers can decrease the strength of the
reflected signal, GWR offers best performance in applica-
tions having clean, distinct layers. However, the ECLIPSE
Model 706 transmitter will operate in most emulsions and
tend to read the top of the emulsion layer. Contact the
factory for application assistance and questions regarding
emulsion layers.
3.2.5 Saturated Steam Applications

(Boilers, Feedwater Heaters, etc.)
As the temperature of a saturated steam application
increases, the dielectric constant of the steam vapor space
also increases. This increase in vapor space dielectric causes
a delay in the GWR signal propagation as it travels down
the probe, causing the liquid level to appear lower than
actual.
NOTE: The measurement error associated with this propagation delay

does depend on temperature and is a function of the square
root of the vapor space dielectric constant. For example, with
no compensation, a +450 °F (+230 °C) application would show
a level error of about 5.5%, while a +600 °F (+315 °C) applica-
tion would show an error approaching 20%!
The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter and Model 7yS

Coaxial Steam probe provide a unique solution to this
application. The effects of the changing steam conditions
can be compensated for by utilizing a mechanical steam
target placed inside and near the top of the Model 7yS
coaxial probe.
Knowing exactly where the target is located at room tem-
perature, and then continuously monitoring its apparent
location, the vapor space dielectric can be back-calculated.
Knowing the vapor space dielectric, accurate compensation
of the actual liquid level reading is accomplished.

This is a patented technique with two US Patents
(US 6642801 and US 6867729) issued for both the
mechanical target concept and the associated software
algorithm.
Contact the factory for additional information relating to
saturated steam applications.
3.2.6 Overfill Capability

Although agencies like WHG or VLAREM certify Overfill
proof protection, defined as the tested, reliable operation
when the transmitter is used as overfill alarm, it is assumed
in their analysis that the installation is designed in such a
way that the vessel or side mounted cage cannot physically
overfill.
However, there are practical applications where a GWR
probe can be completely flooded with level all the way up
to the process connection (face of the flange). Although the
affected areas are application dependent, typical GWR
probes have a transition zone (or possibly dead zone) at the
top of the probe where interacting signals can either affect
the linearity of the measurement or, more dramatically,
result in a complete loss of signal.
While some manufacturers of GWR transmitters may use
special algorithms to “infer” level measurement when this
undesirable signal interaction occurs and the actual level
signal is lost, the ECLIPSE Model 706 offers a unique solu-
tion by utilizing a concept called Overfill-Safe Operation.
An Overfill-safe probe is defined by the fact that it has a
predictable and uniform characteristic impedance all the
way down the entire length of the waveguide (probe). These
probes allow the ECLIPSE Model 706 to measure accurate
levels up to the process flange without any non-measurable
zone at the top of the GWR probe.
Overfill-safe GWR probes are unique to ECLIPSE GWR,
and coaxial probes can be installed at any location on the
vessel. Overfill-safe probes are offered in a variety of Coaxial
and Caged designs.
3.3 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter is designed and engi-

neered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of oper-
ating 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 troubleshoot-
ing. The device not only tells the user what 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 ECLIPSE Model 706
DTM.
PACTware™ PC Program
The ECLIPSE Model 706 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.
3.3.1 Diagnostics (Namur NE 107)

The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter includes an exhaus-
tive 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
Red Orange
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 diag-
nostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of
a given application. The document recommends categorizing
internal diagnostics into four standard status signals:
• Failure
• Function Check
Yellow Blue • 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 right diagnostic
information is available to the right person-at the right
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 mainte-
nance). Customer specific mapping of diagnostics to these
categories allows for flexible configuration depending on the
user's requirements.
From an external Model 706 transmitter perspective, diag-
nostic information includes measurement of process condi-
tions, in addition to detection of internal device or system
anomalies.
As mentioned above, the indicators can be assignable (via
the 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.
The FOUNDATION fieldbus transmitter version of the
Model 706 was implemented according to the Field
Analog Output Error Diagnostics Profile, which is consistent with the objectives

Status Signals 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 706 user
interfaces will prohibit or reject such re-assignment entries).
This is to ensure that current loop alarms are asserted in situ-
ations 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.

Refer to the table below for a complete listing of the
Model 706 diagnostic indicators, along with their explana-
tions, 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.
3.3.2 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.

3.3.4 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 (numer-
ically lowest in Table 3.3.3) is displayed on the bottom
LCD line, which is “OK” as shown at left. 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 name-
➪
explanation 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

3.3.5 Troubleshooting Application Issues

There can be numerous reasons for application-related
issues. Media buildup on the probe is covered here.
Media buildup on the probe is typically not a problem in
most cases—ECLIPSE circuitry works very effectively.
Media buildup should be viewed as two types:
• Continuous Film Coating
• Bridging
Film 3.3.5.1 Model 706 (Dual Element Coaxial or Twin Flexible

Coating
probe)
Continuous Film Coating
One type of potential application problem is when the
media forms a continuous coating on the probe. Although
the ECLIPSE Model 706 will continue to measure effectively,
some small inaccuracies may occur as the signal propagation
is affected by the thickness, length, and dielectric constant
of the coating.
It is a very rare case where filming causes a noticeable per-
formance degradation.
Bridging
Bridging
A more common coating problem occurs when the process
medium is viscous or solid enough to actually clog, or
bridge, between the elements. This bridging can cause a
noticeable degradation in performance. For example, high
dielectric media (e.g., water-based) can be detected as level
at the location of the bridging.
Similarly, a problem can develop if the product begins to
build up on the spacers that separate the coaxial probe ele-
ments. High dielectric media (e.g., water-based) will cause
the greatest error.

Single rod GWR probes are typically the best probes for
applications with potential buildup, but other factors in the
application must be considered (such as mounting, sensitivi-
ty, etc). For this reason, the ECLIPSE Model 706 is offered
with a variety of coaxial, single rod, and Twin Flexible
probes so the correct probe can be used for the given
application.
Refer to Section 3.6.4 for viscosity specifications on the
various ECLIPSE probes.
Contact the factory for any questions regarding
applications with potential coating and buildup.
3.3.5.2 Model 706 (Single Rod Probe)

➁ The Model 706 and Single Rod probe were designed to
operate effectively in the presence of media building up.
➂
Coating
Buildup
Some expected error may be generated based upon the
following factors:
1. Dielectric of the media that created the coating
➀ 2. Thickness of the coating
3. Amount (length) of the coating above the present level
Although more immune to thick, viscous, buildup, perfor-
mance of Single Rod GWR probes is always dependent on
the installation and application. The electromagnetic field
surrounding a single rod probe makes it more vulnerable to
Process Seal is
Fully Transparent influence from objects in the vicinity of the probe.
NOTE: It is important to note that this influence from the

installation/application also depends on the configuration of
the transmitter. Those devices configured with lower gain will
be less affected by external objects.
Nozzles
Due to the impedance mismatch that takes place at the end
Coaxial Probe of a nozzle, they can create false echoes that can cause diag-
nostic indicators and/or errors in measurement.
As mentioned above, by virtue of the pure physics of the
technology, all single rod GWR probes are influenced by
the application and installation. Mismatches in impedance
Large Impedance along the length of the probe, whether they be expected

(liquid level) or unexpected (metal in close proximity), will
result in reflections.
To better illustrate this, a comparison between a coaxial
probe and single rod probe mounted in the same application
is shown at left.
Standard Single Rod Probe

Since the outer tube of the coaxial probe is grounded, there
are no proximity affects and there is no influence from the

nozzle. The only reflections along the length of the probe
on Mounting are expected. Those being the fiducial (reference signal) and
the return signal from the process.
On the other hand, a single rod probe mounted in the exact
same nozzle will have additional (unwanted) reflections
where the probe enters and exits the nozzle. These reflec-
tions are a result of the impedance changes that occur at
those points:
Single Rod Probe in a Stillwell
• The large reflection is due to the impedance developed
between the rod and nozzle ID as compared to the imped-
ance developed between the rod and the tank ID. (The larg-
er the nozzle ID, the smaller the reflection).
One way to eliminate the reflection at the bottom of the
nozzle is to use a continuous stillwell in conjunction with a
caged GWR probe. In doing so, there will be no impedance
changes all the way down the probe.
Refer to Section 3.2.6 for a discussion on overfill-capable
probes for suggestions on how to eliminate these unwanted
single rod reflections. MAGNETROL is unique in the fact
that we offer a special caged probe that, when installed

ance distances. The distances shown in this table can be dra-
matically reduced by utilizing the Echo Rejection feature

3.4 Configuration Information
This section is intended to offer additional configuration-

related details with respect to some of the parameters
shown in the Menu in Section 2.6.
3.4.1 Level Offset Description

The parameter referred to as Level Offset in the ECLIPSE
Model 706 DEVICE SETUP/BASIC CONFIG menu is
defined as the desired level reading when liquid surface is
at the tip of the probe.
The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter is shipped from the
factory with Level Offset set to 0. With this configuration,
all measurements are referenced from the bottom of the
probe. See Example 1.
Level Units = inches
Example 1 (Level Offset = 0 as shipped from factory):
Probe Model = 7YT Application calls for a 72-inch Model 7yT coaxial probe
with an NPT process connection. The process medium is

10" measurements from the bottom of the vessel, the value of
20 mA = 60 in
Level Offset should be changed to the distance between the
Example 1 bottom of the probe and the bottom of the vessel as shown
in Example 2.
Example 2:

needs to be entered. In doing so, all measurements are then
referenced at a point up on the probe, as shown in
Example 3.

30" 3.4.2 End-of-Probe Analysis
Dielectric Range =
Above 10 A new addition to the Model 706 ECLIPSE transmitter is a
4 mA 4 mA = 0in feature called End-of-Probe Analysis (EoPA).
6"
20 mA = 30 in
Located in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG
Menu, this feature is patterned after the “Tank-Bottom
Example 3 Following” algorithms of the early Non-Contact radar
transmitters. When the return signal from the level is lost,
this feature allows the Model 706 transmitter to infer level
measurement based on the apparent location of the end-of-
probe (EoP) signal.
Due to the fact that the propagation of the GWR signal is
affected by the dielectric constant of the medium in which
it is traveling, signals along the probe are delayed in propor-
tion to the dielectric constant. By monitoring the location
of the (delayed) EoP signal and knowing the dielectric con-
stant of the medium, the level signal can be back-calculated,
or inferred.
The End-of-Probe Analysis feature is located in the
Advanced Config menu and requires an Advanced Password
to activate. Several additional parameters will need to be
configured for optimum performance.
NOTE: The accuracy of this level measurement mode is not that of

detecting true product level, and can vary depending on the
process. MAGNETROL recommends that this feature be used
only as last resort for measuring levels in those rare applica-
tions in which the level signals are inadequate, even after the
common troubleshooting techniques of gain increase and
threshold adjustment are implemented.
Refer to section 4.0 “Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL
Technical Support for additional instructions.

3.4.3 Echo Rejection
Due to the fact that GWR transmitters are less susceptible
to obstructions in a vessel (as compared with Non-Contact
Radar transmitters) , early versions of the ECLIPSE Model
705 transmitters did not have Echo Rejection capability.
However, due to our vast experience in the field, we have
found that there are (albeit rare) occasions when it is desir-
able to have the ability to “ignore” unwanted signals along
the probe.
The Model 706 transmitter Echo Rejection feature is
located in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG
menu, and requires an Advanced Password to activate. It is
highly recommended that this feature be used with the
waveform capture capability of the Model 706 DTM and
PACTware™.
Refer to Section 4 “Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL
Technical Support for additional instructions.
3.4.4 Volumetric Capability

3.4.5 Open Channel Flow Capability
Selecting Measurement Type = Flow allows the Model 706
transmitter to measure flow as the Primary Measured Value.
Model 706
Open channel flow is performed by using the ECLIPSE
Flow Model 706 to measure the Head in a hydraulic structure.
The hydraulic structure is the primary measuring element,
of which the two most common types are weirs and flumes.
Since the primary element has a defined shape and dimen-
sions, the rate of flow through the flume or over the weir is
related to the Head at a specified measurement location.
Parshall
Flume The ECLIPSE Model 706 is the secondary measuring
device, which measures the Head of the liquid in the flume
or weir. Open channel flow equations stored in the trans-
mitter firmware convert the measured Head into units of
flow (volume/time).

NOTE: Proper positioning of the Model 706 should be per the recom-
mendation of the flume or weir manufacturer.

3.4.5.1 Configuration using Flume/Weir Equations
System Configuration parameters required for open channel
flow applications using one of the Flow Elements that are
stored in the firmware.
Configuration Parameter Explanation

A selection of Gallons/Minute (factory default Flow Unit), Gallons/Hour, Mil
Flow Units Gallons/Day, Liters/Second, Liters/Minute, Liters/Hour, Cubic Meter/Hour,
Cubic Ft/Second, Cubic Ft/Minute, and Cubic Ft/Hour are provided.
Select one of the following primary Flow Elements that are stored in the firmware:
Parshall flume sizes of 1", 2", 3", 6", 9", 12", 18", 24", 36", 48", 60", 72", 96",
120" and 144". Palmer-Bwls (Palmer-Bowlus) flume sizes of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12",
15", 18", 21", 24", 27" and 30". V-notch weir sizes of 22.5O, 30O, 45O, 60O, 90O and
Flow Element 120O. Rect with Ends (Rectangular Weir with End Contractions), Rect w/o Ends
(Rectangular Weir without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir. Custom Table (see
page 65 can be selected if none of the stored Flow Elements can be used. The
table can be built with a maximum of 30 points. The Model 706 also has the capa-
bility of using a Generic Equation (see page 26) for flow calculation.
The Weir Crest Length screen only appears when the chosen Flow Element is
Weir Crest Length Cipoletti or one of the Rectangular weirs. Input this length in the user-selected
level units.
Flume Channel Width Allows for entry of the width of the palmer bowlus flume.
Only appears when flow element is V-Notch weir. It allows for the entry of angle of
V-Notch Weir Angle
the V-Notch weir.
The Reference Distance is measured from the sensor reference point to the point
Reference Dist of zero flow in the weir or flume. This must be measured very accurately in the
user-selected level units.
Maximum Head is the highest liquid level (Head) value in the flume or weir before
the flow equation is no longer valid. The Maximum Head is expressed in the user-
Maximum Head selected Level Units. The Model 706 will default to the largest Maximum Head value
that is allowed for any given flume or weir. The Maximum Head value can be revised
depending on the value of the Reference Distance, or for end user preference.
Maximum Flow is a read-only value that represents the flow value corresponding
Maximum Flow
to the Maximum Head value for the flume or weir.
The Low Flow Cutoff (in user-selected level units) will force the calculated flow
Low Flow Cutoff value to zero whenever the Head is below this point. This parameter will have a
default and minimum value of zero.

3.4.5.2 Configuration using Generic Equation
System Configuration parameters for Open channel flow
applications using the Generic Equation.
Configuration Parameter Explanation (Open Channel Flow — using the Generic Equation)
A selection of Gallons/Minute (factory default Flow Unit), Gallons/Hour,
Flow Units Mil Gallons/Day, Liters/Second, Liters/Minute, Liters/Hour, Cubic Meter/Hour,
Generic Equation is a discharge flow equation in the form of Q = K(L-CH)Hn, where
Q = flow (Cu Ft/Second), H = Head (Feet), K = a constant, and L, C and n are user
input factors that depend on which Flow Element is being used. Make sure the flow
equation is in the form of Q = K(L-CH)Hn, and proceed to enter the values of K,L,C,H
Generic Eqn Factors
and n. See example below.
NOTE: The Generic Equation parameters must be entered in Cu Ft/Second
units. The resultant flow is converted by the Model 706 into whatever Flow Units
are selected above. See example below.
Maximum Head selected level units. The Model 706 will default to the largest Maximum Head value
Maximum Flow
Generic Equation Example (using equation for an 8' rectangular weir w/ end contractions)
Q = Cubic Ft/Second flow rate L = 8' (weir crest length in feet) H = Head value
K = 3.33 for Cubic Ft/Second units C = 0.2 (constant) n = 1.5 as an exponent
Using the factors above the equation becomes:

Q = 3.33 (8-0.2H) H1.5
n
Q = K(L-CH)H The discharge flow value for a Head value of three feet
becomes 128.04 Cubic Ft/Second. If GPM was selected for
the Flow Units, the Model 706 Measured Values screen would
display this value converted to 57,490 GPM.

The Custom Table points can be a Linear (straight line between adjacent points) or
Custom Table Spline (can be a curved line between points) relationship. Refer to the drawing
above for more information.
A maximum of 30 points can be used in building the Custom Table. Each pair of val-
ues will have a Head (height) in the units chosen in the Level Units screen, and the
associated flow for that Head value. The values must be monotonic, i.e., each pair

of values must be greater than the previous Head/flow pair. The last pair of values
should have the highest Head value (usually the Maximum Head value) and the flow
associated with that Head value.

3.4.6 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 706 transmitter configuration.
Unique to the Model 706 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.
3.4.7 Additional Diagnostic/Troubleshooting Capabilities
3.4.7.1 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.
3.4.7.2 Context-sensitive Help

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 parameter-
related 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. For interface
measurement mode, it selects the range bounding the
dielectric constant of the lower liquid medium. Some ranges
may not be selectable depending on the probe model.
3.4.7.3 Trend Data

Another new feature to the Model 706 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 non-
volatile memory in the transmitter with date and time
information for subsequent retrieval and visualization using
the associated Model 706 DTM.

4.0 Advanced Configuration/
Troubleshooting Techniques
This section contains information regarding some of the
advanced configuration and troubleshooting capability con-
tained within the Model 706 transmitter. These diagnostic
options are best suited for use with PACTware and the
Model 706 DTM, and should be implemented only after
contacting MAGNETROL Technical Support.
4.1 End-of-Probe Analysis (EOPA)
Note that due to the operation of this method, End of

Probe Analysis cannot be applied with interface measure-
ment, applications with a "water" bottoms, or with stratify-
ing liquids. Therefore, EOPA will not be available when
Measurement Type = Interface & Level.
When EOPA is enabled and the calculated (inferred level) is
being used, a diagnostic warning shown as "Inferred Level”
will be present.
4.1.1 Enable EOPA using PACTware

Click on the Device Setup tab, and then select Advanced
Config. In the lower left corner select the correct Polarity
for the End of Probe pulse, then turn on the EoP Analysis.
The Eop Dielectric box will then appear. Fill in the correct
Dielectric of the process medium being measured.

4.1.2 Enable EOPA using keypad/LCD
From the MAIN MENU, select DEVICE SETUP and

press Enter.
Scroll down to Advanced Config, and then press Enter.
Scroll down to END of PROBE ANALYSIS, and then press

Enter.

Enter the correct polarity for EoP Polarity, turn on EoP
Analysis, and then enter the correct value for EoP
Dielectric. EoP Dielectric is the dielectric constant of the
process medium being measured.
4.2 Sloped Threshold
The Sloped Threshold option contained in the Model 706

allows the user additional level detection capability by
allowing the threshold to be sloped (bent) around an
unwanted signal. The result is a convenient way to ignore
undesired signals.
The use of PACTware and the Model 706 DTM is recom-
mended for this option.
Using PACTware, click on the Device Setup tab, and then
select Advanced Config.
In the Threshold Settings section, select “Sloped” within in
the Lvl Tresh Mode dropdown box.
Then set the Sloped Start Value, Lvl Tresh Value, and
Sloped End Distance.

4.3 Echo Rejection
Another way to ignore unwanted signals along the length of

the probe 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
Click on OK at the loop warning message.

On the next screen, enter the actual process media location
and then hit OK.
A password window will then appear (unless the password

was previously entered). Enter the password and hit OK.
Then the system calculates the curve, and then saves it. Hit
OK to confirm.
A warning screen is then shown so 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 screen. The Rejection curve will then be displayed in
red as shown in the screenshot above.
Alternatively, you can follow the procedure below:
Select the Device Setup tab, and then select the Advanced
Config tab. Then click on New Rejection Curve.

You will get a warning regarding the loop, hit OK. On the
next screen you need to enter the actual media location and
then hit OK.
Next a password window might appear if not already

entered. Then the system calculates the curve, and then
saves it. Hit OK to confirm.

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 in red as shown in the screenshot below.
4.4 Buildup Detection
A unique feature contained within the Model 706 can be

used to obtain an indication of build-up along the length of
the probe. This can be set as the HART SV or TV which
can be monitored in the control room. An algorithm com-
pares the buildup echo strength as compared to the Lvl
Thrsh Value, and outputs value in percent.

4.4.1 Buildup Detection Setup using PACTware
Buildup detection is a feature that needs to be turned on in

Advanced Config, see below.
Once turned on progress can be checked in the Advanced

Diagnostics screen, see below.

4.4.2 Buildup Detection Setup using the Keypad
From the menu select DEVICE SETUP and hit Enter.
Scroll down to Buildup Detection and hit Enter
Select On and hit Enter

Checking buildup can be done from the main display
screen. First the unit must be set up to display the Buildup
percentage. Go to the main menu and select DEVICE
SETUP then hit Enter.
Scroll down to DISPLAY CONFIG and hit Enter.
Scroll down to Probe Buildup and hit Enter, then select

View. From the main screen the Buildup percentage is now
shown.

Maintenance Policy
With proper ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar (GWR) probe selection, there is virtually no maintenance required for a
Model 706 system. As explained in Section 3.3.5, application-related issues, such as coating or bridging on the probe can
occur. Therefore, although internal diagnostics can be utilized to proactively display overall system degradation, a peri-
odic visual inspection of he probe is recommended. Refer to Section 3.8 for replacement parts.
