The Pulsar Radar transmitter is the latest generation of loop-powered, 24 VDC, level transmitters. It has lower power consumption, faster response time and is easier to use than other loop-powered radar transmitters.
An additional all-polypropylene antenna for use in corrosive applications demanding no wetted metal surfaces makes Pulsar the ultimate solution to the vast majority of process level applications.
This latest entry into the radar level measurement field is designed to provide unparalleled performance and ease of use. Pulsar Pulse Burst Radar is the perfect compliment to the Magnetrol Eclipse® Guided Wave Radar.

Measurement Principle:
The Pulsar Radar transmitter is based on pulse burst radar technology together with equivalent time sampling circuitry. Short bursts of 5.8 or 6.3 GHz microwave energy are emitted and subsequently reflected from the liquid level surface. Distance is calculated by the equation D = Transit time (round-trip)/2. Liquid level is then calculated by applying the tank height value.
Features:
- Antenna designs to +400° F (+204° C), 750 psig (51.7 bar)
- Range up to 65 feet (20 meters)
- Will reliably track extremely rapid rate of change up to 180 inches (450 cm)/minute
- Quick connect/disconnect antenna coupling allows vessel to remain sealed (patent pending)
- Extremely low output at antenna:< .01 mW (avg), <2 mW (max); hundreds of times less than a cell phone
- Saftey Integrity Level (SIL) value of 1 / SFF = 73.7%
Applications:
- Liquids and slurries
- Hydrocarbons to water-based media (dielectric 1.7 - 100)
- Process vessels
- Storage vessels
- Pits and pumps
- Non-metallic tanks such as plastic, glass-lined and concrete
Options:
- Teflon® or Polypropylene dielectric rod configuration
- Materials of construction: 316/316L stainless steel, Hastelloy C, Monel, all-polypropylene wetted surfaces (including flange connections)
- Process Connection: NPT ANSI flange, DIN flange, or Triclover® type
- Antenna nozzle extentions
