®
Model R96 Radar Transmitter
To install an Explosion Proof transmitter:
1. Install Explosion Proof conduit from the safe area to the
conduit connection of the PULSAR Model R96 transmit-
ter (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.
6. Replace and tighten the cover to the wiring compartment
of the transmitter before applying power.

Configuring the Transmitter
Although the PULSAR Model R96 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 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 PULSAR Model R96 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 meas-
urements are desired.
NOTE: Current measurements taken at these test points are an
approximate value. Accurate current readings should be
taken with the digital multimeter directly in series with the
loop.
