58-603 Pulsar
®
Model R86 Radar Transmitter
A few items to note:
1. The Tank Profile feature must be manually initiated. It is not an automatic feature.
2. The Tank Profile feature may be manually stopped at any time.
3. Before the feature starts capturing information, the transmitter configuration should be manually
saved. This is not necessary for the operation of the feature but provides useful data for determining
what configuration change may be warranted.
4. Although the ability to set up and run this feature will be available in all user interfaces (HART and
FF LUI, DD and DTM), the results can only be graphically viewed in the corresponding DTM. For
DD-based hosts, there is a DD method that will sequentially display the readings one level at a time.
5. The feature can be set to cover a smaller range than the entire tank. For example, some processes may
only operate in a smaller range.
6. The increments can be set as a percentage of the Start/Stop range (Increment by %) or in
Level/Distance units (Increment by Unit).
7. The information captured at each increment will be:
a. Time
b. Level
c. Distance
d. Echo Strength
e. Echo Margin
f.
Loop Current (HART only)
g. Target Threshold
h. Level Ticks
i.
BCSM state
8. The saved minimum and maximum Echo Strength and Echo Margin readings can be viewed in a
graph in the Tank Profile menu.
SETUP
The Tank Profile can be initiated in the DTM in the following manner:
1. Use SET CLOCK button to ensure transmitter clock is set properly
2. Choose LIMIT UNITS of “Level” or “ % Range”
a. RECORD INTERVAL and TANK PROFILE units will change accordingly
3. Choose INTERVAL, LIMITS and TIMES applicable to your needs.
4. TANK PROFILE STATUS will display “Off ”, “Running” or “Completed”
5. Once computer is used to configure transmitter it does not have to stay connected.
6. Connect computer at later date to download captured data for analysis????????????
