57-606 ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
To install an Explosion Proof transmitter:
1. Install Explosion Proof conduit from the safe area to the
conduit connection of the ECLIPSE transmitter (refer to
local plant or facility procedures).
2. Remove the cover from the wiring compartment of the
transmitter.
3. Connect shield to an earth ground at the power supply.
4. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground
screw per local electrical code (not shown in illustration).
5. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and
the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. (The recom-
mended torque on terminal block screws is 7–10 in-lbs.)
6. Replace and tighten the cover to the wiring compartment
of the transmitter before applying power.

Configuration
Although the ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter can be
delivered pre-configured from the factory, it can also be
easily reconfigured in the shop or at the installation using
the local LCD/Keypad or PACT
ware
/DTM. Bench config-
uration provides a convenient and efficient way to set up
the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete
the installation.
Before configuring any transmitter, collect all operating
parameters information (refer to Section 1.1.2).
Apply power to the transmitter and follow the step-by-step
procedures below for the menu-driven transmitter display.
Refer to Sections 2.6.2 and 2.6.4.
Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART
communicator is given in Section 2.7, Configuration
Using HART.

2.6.1 Bench Configuration
The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter can be easily config-
ured at a test bench by connecting a standard 24 VDC
power supply directly to the transmitter terminals as
shown in the accompanying diagram. An optional digital
multimeter is shown in the event that mA current mea-
surements are desired.
