57-606 ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
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.
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 1

" (38 mm) wrench, tighten the universal connec-
tion on the transmitter
1

to

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.
