QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide an overview
of the key steps required for mounting, wiring, and config-
uring the ECLIPSE Model 700 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 7zP or 7zT
should be used for any Safety Shutdown/Overfill appli-
cations.
The Model 700 transmitter, when used with an overfill
coaxial 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 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 3.2.5 for additional information on over-
fill capability.
Depending on the probe type, all other ECLIPSE probes
should be installed so the maximum overfill level is a
minimum of 150–300 mm (6"–12") 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.
