Model R86 Radar Transmitter
Example 2 (Bottom Blocking Distance = 10 inches):
Application calls for a Model RB4 antenna in an 100-
inch tank with a flanged process connection.
The user wants the 4 mA Set Point (LRV) at 24 inches
and the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at 60 inches
as
referenced from the Blocking Distance
.
When the PULSAR Model R86 transmitter is mounted in a
stillwell, it is usually desirable to configure the unit with the
4 mA Set Point (LRV) at the lower process connection and
the 20 mA Set Point (URV) at the upper process connec-
tion. The measuring range then becomes the center-to-cen-
ter dimension.
Example 3:
Application calls for a Model RB3 flanged antenna meas-
uring water in a 3-inch chamber. The user wants the
4 mA point to be 6 inches at the bottom process connec-
tion and the 20 mA point to be 30 inches at the top
process connection.
3.3.2 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 R86 transmitter configuration.
Unique to the Model R86 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.
