Eclipse® 706 Hygienic

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Eclipse Model 706 High Performance Transmitter is a 24 VDC level transmitter using Guided Wave Radar (GWR) technology. It features diode switching technology and a variety of probes, suitable for applications ranging from light hydrocarbons to water-based media. The transmitter is housed in a 304 stainless steel enclosure for hygienic industries and supports FDT/DTM and Enhanced DD standards.
Applications: This transmitter is ideal for measuring liquids, solids, or slurries in various vessels, even under challenging conditions like visible vapors, foam, and surface agitation. It is used in bioreactors, fermentors, media storage, and other hygienic systems.
Features: Key features include multivariable measurement capabilities, diode switching technology for enhanced signal strength, proactive diagnostics, and a 360° rotatable housing. It supports SIL 2/3 loops and offers a 30-point custom strapping table for uniquely shaped tanks.
Probe and Housing: The transmitter comes with a single rod probe design, effective in metallic vessels and tolerant of coating and buildup. Probes are available in 316L SS, AL6XN, and Hastelloy C22, with lengths up to 240 inches.
Specifications: Operating on Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), the transmitter provides a 4 to 20 mA output with HART communication. It functions in temperatures from -40 to +175 °F and meets various safety and environmental standards.
Agency Approvals: The Eclipse Model 706 complies with EMC, PED, and ATEX directives and is certified for explosion-proof and non-incendive environments in the US, Canada, and Europe.
Specifications: The document details specifications for intrinsically safe equipment for hazardous locations, including certifications for US/Canada, ATEX, IECEx, and INMETRO, with temperature ratings from -40°C to +70°C and protection ratings of IP66/IP67.
Special Conditions of Use: Key conditions include minimizing electrostatic discharge, maintaining specific enclosure temperatures for compliance, and using approved assemblies. Transient over-voltage protection should not exceed 119Vdc.
Mounting Considerations: Recommendations include stabilizing single rod probes if deflection exceeds 3 inches, optimizing nozzle performance, and using metal flanges for non-metallic vessels.
Model Number Details: Detailed configurations for transmitters and probes are provided, covering power, signal output, safety options, classification, housing, and materials.
Quality Assurance and Warranty: AMETEK LMS is ISO 9001 certified, offering an 18-month warranty against defects, excluding misapplication and consequential damages.

Eclipse® 706 Hygienic-1

Eclipse® Model 706 High Performance Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter for Hygienic Applications DESCRIPTION Measures Level and Volume The Eclipse® Model 706 High Performance Transmitter is a loop-powered, 24 VDC level transmitter that is based upon the proven and widely accepted technology of Guided Wave Radar (GWR). Encompassing a number of significant engineering accomplishments, this leading edge level transmitter is designed to provide measurement performance well beyond that of many of the more traditional technologies. Utilizing patented “diode switching” technology, along with the most comprehensive probe offering on the market, this single transmitter can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from very light hydrocarbons to water-based media. Offered in a deep-drawn 304 ss enclosure for hygienic industries, the housing is angled to maximize ease of wiring, configuration, and viewing of the versatile graphic LCD display. One universal Model 706 transmitter can be used and interchanged with all probe types, and offers enhanced reliability as it is certified for use in critical SIL 2 hardware safety loops. With the use of a unique adapter, the model 706 transmitter can even operate with older hygienic GWR probes. The Eclipse Model 706 supports both the FDT/DTM and Enhanced DD (EDDL) standards, which allow viewing of valuable configuration and diagnostic information such as the echo curve in tools such as PACTware ™, AMS Device Manager, and various HART ® Field Communicators. APPLICATIONS MEDIA: Liquids, solids, or slurries; hydrocarbons to water-based media (Dielectric Constant εr = 1.2–100) VESSELS: Most process or storage vessels up to rated probe temperature and pressure. CONDITIONS: All level measurement and control applications including process conditions exhibiting visible vapors, foam, surface agitation, bubbling or boiling, high fill/empty rates, low level and varying dielectric media or specific gravity.

Eclipse® 706 Hygienic-3

PROBE OVERVIEW The description below contains facts relating to the physics of GWR technology and are not specific to AMETEK LMS or to the Eclipse Model 706. SINGLE ROD PROBES Single element GWR probes operate quite differently from the typical GWR coaxial design. With only one conductor to work with, the pulses of energy develop between the single rod probe and the mounting nut or flange. In other words, the pulse propagates down and around the rod as it references its ground at the top of the tank. The energy and efficiency of the pulse are directly related to how much metallic surface exists...

Eclipse® 706 Hygienic-4

TECHNOLOGY PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Eclipse Guided Wave Radar is based upon the technology of TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide (probe). When a pulse reaches a surface that has a higher dielectric constant than the air (εr = 1) in which it is traveling, a portion of the pulse is reflected. The transit time of the pulse is then measured via high speed timing circuitry that provides an accurate measure of the liquid (or solids) level. The amplitude of the reflection depends on the dielectric constant of the product. The higher...
