57-606 ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter

QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide an overview
of the key steps required for mounting, wiring, and config-
uring the ECLIPSE Model 706 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 7yD, 7yG,
7yJ, 7yL, 7yP, or 7yT should be used for all Safety
Shutdown/Overfill applications.
The Model 706 transmitter, when used with an overfill
coaxial or caged 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 com-
pared 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 3.2.6 for additional
information on overfill capability.
Depending on the probe type, all other ECLIPSE probes
should be installed so the maximum overfill level is a
minimum of 6"-12" (150–300 mm) 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.
