57-606 ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
3.4.3 Echo Rejection
Due to the fact that GWR transmitters are less susceptible
to obstructions in a vessel (as compared with Non-Contact
Radar transmitters) , early versions of the ECLIPSE Model
705 transmitters did not have Echo Rejection capability.
However, due to our vast experience in the field, we have
found that there are (albeit rare) occasions when it is desir-
able to have the ability to “ignore” unwanted signals along
the probe.
The Model 706 transmitter Echo Rejection feature is
located in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG
menu, and requires an Advanced Password to activate. It is
highly recommended that this feature be used with the
waveform capture capability of the Model 706 DTM and
PACT

Troubleshooting Techniques” or contact MAGNETROL
Technical Support for additional instructions.
3.4.4 Volumetric Capability
Selecting Measurement Type = Volume and Level allows the
Model 706 transmitter to measure volume as the Primary
Measured Value.
3.4.4.1 Configuration using built-in Vessel Types
The following table provides an explanation of each of the
System Configuration parameters required for volume
applications that use one of the nine Vessel Types.
