An intrinsically safe (IS) installation potentially has flammable media present. An approved IS barrier must be
installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area. See Agency
Drawing – Intrinsically Safe Installation, Section 3.4.2.
To install Intrinsically Safe wiring:
1. Make sure the IS barrier is properly installed in the safe
area (refer to local plant or facility procedures). Complete
the wiring from the barrier to the ECLIPSE transmitter.
2. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening. Use
PTFE tape/sealant to ensure a liquid-tight connection.

G.P./I.S./Explosion Proof Model
2.5.3 Explosion Proof
Explosion Proof (XP) is a method of designing equipment
for installation in hazardous areas. A hazardous location is
an area in which flammable gases or vapors are, or may be,
present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. The wiring for the transmitter
must be contained in Explosion Proof conduit extending
into the safe area. Due to the specialized design of the
ECLIPSE transmitter, no Explosion Proof conduit fitting
(EY seal) is required within 18" of the transmitter. An
Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required
between the hazardous and safe areas. See Agency
Specifications, Section 3.4.1.
To install Explosion Proof wiring:
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 to 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 the cover to the wiring compartment of the
transmitter before applying power.

The ECLIPSE transmitter comes configured from the factory
but can be reconfigured easily in the shop (disregard error
message due to unattached probe). Bench configuration
provides a convenient and efficient way to set up the
transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the
installation.
Before configuring the transmitter, collect the operating
parameters information (refer to Section 1.1.2). Power up
the transmitter on the bench and follow through the stepby-step procedures for the menu-driven transmitter display.
Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART
communicator is given in Configuration Using HART,
Section 2.7.
Information on configuring the transmitter using
OUNDATION fieldbus is given in Section 2.8.
F
Refer to instruction manual 57-640 for detailed
FOUNDATION fieldbus information.

2.6.1 Operating Parameters
Some key information is needed to calibrate the ECLIPSE
transmitter. Complete the configuration information table
in Section 1.1.2.
2.6.2 Setting Up for Bench Configuration
The ECLIPSE transmitter can be configured at a test
bench by connecting a 24 VDC power supply directly to
the transmitter terminals as shown in the accompanying
diagram. An optional digital multimeter is shown if current measurements are desired.
NOTE: Current measurements taken at these test points is an
approximate value. Accurate current readings should be
taken with the digital multimeter in series with the loop.
1. When using a HART communicator for configuration, a
minimum 250 Ω line load resistance is required. See the
HART communicator manual for more information.
2. The transmitter can be configured without the probe.
(Disregard the error message due to the unattached probe.)
3. After entering the last value, allow 10 seconds before
removing power from the transmitter. This allows the
transmitter to store values.

Up
The ECLIPSE transmitter has an optional liquid crystal display
(LCD) capable of showing two lines of 8 characters each.
Transmitter measurements and configuration menu screens
are shown on the LCD.
The transmitter default display is the measurement screen.
It cycles every 5 seconds to display STATUS, LEVEL,
%OUTPUT, and LOOP information (LEVEL,
%OUTPUT, and STATUS for Fieldbus version). The
transmitter defaults to this display after 5 minutes if no
keystrokes are sensed.
The keypad has three arrows used to scroll through the displays and to calibrate the transmitter. The Up and Down

display line).
2.6.4 Password Protection (Default = 0)
The ECLIPSE transmitter is password protected to restrict
access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect
the operation of the system. When the proper password is
entered, an exclamation point (!) appears as the last character of the first line of the display. The password can be
changed to any numerical value up to 255. The password is
required whenever configuration values are changed.
The default user password installed in the transmitter at the
factory is 0. The last step in the configuration menu provides the option to enter a new password. With a password
of 0, the transmitter is no longer password protected and
any value in the menu can be adjusted without entering a
confirming password, except diagnostic values.
20
NOTE: If the password is not known, the menu item New Password
displays an encrypted value representing the present password. Call the factory with this encrypted value to determine
the present password.

2.6.5 Model 705 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure
The following tables provide a complete explanation of
the software menus displayed by the ECLIPSE transmitter.
Use these tables as a step-by-step guide to configure the
transmitter based on a desired measurement type of:
• Level Only, Section 2.6.5.1
• Level and Volume, Section 2.6.5.2
• Interface Level, Section 2.6.5.3
• Interface Level and Volume, Section 2.6.5.4
The tables are separated to display the parameters based
on the measurement type. The second column presents
the menus shown on the transmitter display. The displays
are in the order they would appear if the arrow keys were
used to scroll through the menu. The numbers in the first
column are not shown on the display. They are only provided as a reference.
The third column provides the actions to take when configuring the transmitter. Additional information or an
explanation of an action is given in the fourth column.
(Shaded sections are factory menu items).

The parameter referred to as Lvl Ofst in the ECLIPSE menu
is the desired level reading when liquid surface is at the end
of the probe. The ECLIPSE transmitter is shipped from the
factory with Lvl Ofst set to 0. With this configuration, all
measurements are referenced from the bottom of the probe.
See Example 1.
Example 1 (Lvl Ofst = 0 as shipped from factory):
Application calls for a 72-inch NPT Coaxial probe in
water with the bottom of the probe 10 inches above the
bottom of the tank. The user wants the 4 mA point at
24 inches and the 20 mA point at 60 inches as referenced
from the bottom of the probe.
Example 1
Example 2
In those applications in which it is desired to reference all
measurements from the bottom of the vessel, the value of
Lvl Ofst should be changed to the distance between the
bottom of the probe and the bottom of the vessel as shown
in Example 2.
Example 2:
Application calls for a 72-inch NPT coaxial probe in
water with the bottom of the probe 10 inches above the
bottom of the tank. The user wants the 4 mA point at
24 inches and the 20 mA point at 60 inches as referenced
from the bottom of the tank.
When the ECLIPSE transmitter is mounted in a
chamber/bridle, it is usually desirable to configure the unit
with the 4 mA (0%) point at the lower process connection
and the 20 mA (100%) point at the upper process connection.
The span is the center-to-center dimension. In this case, a
negative Lvl Ofst needs to be entered. In doing so, all
measurements are then referenced at a point up on the
probe as shown in Example 3.
57-600 Eclipse®Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
Example 3
Example 3:
Application calls for a 48-inch cage-coaxial flanged probe
measuring water in a chamber with the bottom of the
probe 6 inches below the lower process connection. The
user wants the 4 mA point to be 0 inches at the bottom
process connection and the 20 mA point to be 30 inches
at the top process connection.

2.6.7 Strapping Table Description
The Model 705 is available with a 20-point custom strapping table. Up to 20 pairs of Level—Volume points can be
entered to linearize the 4-20 mA output for odd-shaped
vessels.
There are two ways to enter data into the strapping table.
Procedure 1 (this method is the most common):
1. Ensure that “Level and Volume” is selected as the
Measurement Type (parameter 8 in table 2.6.5.2).
2. Ensure that the correct Level Units and Volume Units are
chosen. (Parameters 9 and 12 in table 2.6.5.2).
3. Scroll down to the StrapTbl (parameter 13 in table 2.6.5.2),
press enter. Pt01Lvl is displayed.
4. Press Enter, then enter the desired level for Point 1 in the
strapping table and press enter.
5. Enter corresponding volume for Point 1 in the strapping
table (shown as Pt01Vol on the LCD) and then press enter.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for remaining points.
NOTES: 1. All twenty strapping table points do not have to be used
(unused points should be left at “0”).
2. Strapping table point values can be entered or changed
in any order.
3. All strapping table points must be monotonic and
sequential. In other words, each point must be larger
than the one before. If a non-monotonic entry is made,
the strapping length will stop at that entry.
Procedure 2:
The ECLIPSE Model 705 transmitter also allows the level
points to be entered automatically.
As above, a twenty-point table is available. However, with
this procedure, the user can allow the Model 705 to use the
present level as the strapping table entry.
1. Scroll down to the Strapping Table parameter and press
enter, Pt01Lvl is displayed.
2. Press and hold the ENTER button, then press the UP
arrow at the same time. (The present level reading is now
captured and entered into the strapping table.) Press enter
and the display shows Pt01Vol.
34
3. Enter the corresponding volume and press enter.
4. Add a known liquid volume to the vessel.
5. For the remaining points, add a known liquid volume to
vessel and repeat steps 2 to 3.

A HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)
remote unit, such as a HART communicator, can be used
to provide a communication link to the ECLIPSE transmitter.
When connected to the control loop, the same system
measurement readings shown on the transmitter are shown
on the communicator. The communicator can also be used
to configure the transmitter.
The HART communicator may need to be updated to include
the ECLIPSE software (Device Descriptions). Contact your
local HART Service Center for additional information.
2.7.1 Connections
A HART communicator can be operated from a remote
location by connecting it to a remote junction or by connecting it directly to the terminal block in the electronics
housing of the ECLIPSE transmitter.
HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift keying technique
of high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 4–20
mA loop and requires 250 Ω load resistance. A typical
connection between a communicator and the ECLIPSE
transmitter is shown at left.
2.7.2 Display Menu
A typical communicator display is an 8-line by 21-character
LCD. When connected, the top line of each menu displays
the model (Model 705 3.x) and its tag number or address.
Usually the bottom line of each menu is reserved for softwaredefined function keys (F1–F4). For detailed operating information, refer to the instruction manual provided with the
HART communicator.
The ECLIPSE transmitter online menu trees are shown in
the following illustration. Open the menu by pressing the

2.8FOUNDATION fieldbus™Digital Communications
2.8.1 Description
FOUNDATION fieldbus is a digital communications system
that serially interconnects devices in the field. A Fieldbus
system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS)
with two exceptions:
• Although a Fieldbus system can use the same physical
wiring as an existing 4–20 mA device, Fieldbus devices are
not connected point-to-point, but rather are multidropped
on a single pair of wires (referred to as a segment).
• Fieldbus is a system that allows the user to distribute
control across a network. Fieldbus devices are smart and
actually maintain control over the system.
Unlike 4–20 mA analog installations in which the two
wires carry a single variable (the varying 4–20 mA current),
a digital communications scheme such as Fieldbus considers
the two wires as a network. The network can carry many
process variables as well as other information. The ECLIPSE
Model 705FF transmitter is a F
OUNDATION fieldbus regis-
tered device that communicates with the H1 Foundation
Fieldbus protocol operating at 31.25 kbits/sec. The H1
physical layer is an approved IEC 61158 standard. The
figure on page 38 shows a typical Fieldbus installation.
57-600 Eclipse®Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
An IEC61158 shielded twisted pair wire segment can be as
long as 6234 feet (1900 meters) without a repeater. Up to
4 repeaters per segment can be used to extend the distance.
The maximum number of devices allowed on a Fieldbus
segment is 32 although this depends on the current draw
of the devices on any given segment.
and other network information can be found in IEC 61158
or at www.fieldbus.org.
Typical Fieldbus Installation
2.8.2 Benefits
The benefits of Fieldbus can be found throughout all phases
of an installation:
1. Design/Installation: Connecting multiple devices to a single
pair of wires means less wire and fewer I/O equipment.
Initial Engineering costs are also reduced because the
™
Fieldbus Foundation
requires interoperability, defined as
“the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system,
regardless of manufacturer, without a loss of functionality.”
OUNDATION fieldbus devices must be tested for
All F
interoperability by the Fieldbus Foundation. MAGNETROL
Model 705FF device registration information can be found
at www.fieldbus.org.
2. Operation: With control now taking place within the
devices in the field, better loop performance and control are
the result. A Fieldbus system allows for multiple variables to
be brought back from each device to the control room for
additional trending and reporting.
3. Maintenance: The self-diagnostics residing in the smart
field devices minimizes the need to send maintenance
personnel to the field.
38
57-600 Eclipse®Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
2.8.3 Device Configuration
Device Descriptions
The function of a Fieldbus device is determined by the
arrangement of a system of blocks defined by the Fieldbus
Foundation. The types of blocks used in a typical User
Application are described as follows:
Resource Block describes the characteristics of the Fieldbus
device such as the device name, manufacturer, and serial
number.
Transducer Blocks contain information such as calibration
date and sensor type. They are used to connect the sensor to
the input function blocks.
Function Blocks are built into the Fieldbus devices as needed
to provide the desired control system behavior. The input
and output parameters of function blocks can be linked
over the Fieldbus. There can be numerous function blocks
in a single User Application.
An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the interoperability concept mentioned above. Device Description
(DD) technology is used to achieve this interoperability.
The DD provides extended descriptions for each object and
provides pertinent information needed by the host system.
DDs are similar to the drivers that your personal computer
(PC) uses to operate peripheral devices connected to it. Any
Fieldbus host system can operate with a device if it has the
proper DDs for that device.
The most recent DD and Common File Format (CFF)
files can be found on the MAGNETROL web site at
magnetrol.com or fieldbus.org.
2.8.4 Intrinsically Safe
H1 supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applications with bus
powered devices. To accomplish this, an IS barrier is placed
between the power supply in the safe area and the device in
the hazardous area.
H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept
(FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a network.
The FISCO model considers the capacitance and inductance
of the wiring to be distributed along its entire length. The
stored energy during a fault will be less and more devices
are permitted on a pair of wires. Instead of the conservative
entity model, which only allows about 90 mA of current, the
FISCO model allows a maximum of 110 mA for Class II C
installations and 240 mA for Class II B installations.

This section presents an overview of the operation of the
ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter, information
on troubleshooting common problems, listings of agency
approvals, lists of replacement and recommended spare
parts, and detailed physical, functional, and performance
specifications.
3.1Description
ECLIPSE is a loop-powered two-wire, 24 VDC, level transmitter
based on the concept of Guided Wave Radar. Guided Wave
Radar, or Micropower Impulse Radar (MIR), is a revolutionary,
new level measurement technology.
The ECLIPSE electronics are housed in an ergonomic hous-
ing comprised of two tandem compartments angled at a
45-degree angle for ease of wiring and calibration. These
two compartments connect via an explosion proof and
watertight feed-through.
3.2Theory of Operation
3.2.1 Micropower Impulse Radar
MIR (Micropower Impulse Radar) combines TDR (time
domain reflectometry), ETS (equivalent time sampling) and
modern low power circuitry. This synthesis of technologies
brings to the level market a high-speed radar circuit (speed of
light transmission) at a small fraction of the cost of conventional radar. The electromagnetic pulses are propagated via a
waveguide that yields a system many times more efficient
than through-air radar.

The ECLIPSE Model 705, when used with the Model 7xT
coaxial probe, is a transmitter capable of measuring both an
upper level and an interface level. It is required that the
upper liquid have a dielectric constant between 1.4 and 5
and the two liquids have a difference in dielectric constants
greater than 10. A typical application would be oil over
water, with the upper layer of oil being non-conductive with
a dielectric constant of approximately 2 and the lower layer
of water being very conductive with a dielectric constant of
approximately 80. This interface measurement can only be
accomplished when the dielectric constant of the upper medium
is lower than the dielectric constant of the lower medium.
ECLIPSE Guided Wave Radar is based upon the technology
of TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses
of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a wave guide
(probe). When a pulse reaches a liquid surface that has a
higher dielectric constant than the air (dielectric constant of 1)
in which it is traveling, the pulse is reflected and ultra high
speed timing circuitry provides an accurate measure of liquid level. Even after the pulse is reflected from the upper
surface, some of the energy continues down the length of
the probe through the upper liquid. The pulse is again
reflected when it reaches the higher dielectric lower liquid
(refer to figure at left). Since the speed of the signal through
the upper liquid is dependent on the dielectric constant of
the medium in which it is traveling, the dielectric constant
of the upper liquid must be known to accurately determine
the interface level.
Interface Detection
57-600 Eclipse®Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
Knowing the time between the first and second reflections,
along with knowing the upper layer dielectric constant, the
thickness of the upper layer can be determined.
In order to properly process the reflected signals, the
Model 705 is specified for those applications where the
thickness of the upper layer is greater than 2 inches. The
maximum upper layer is limited to the length of the
Model 7xT probe, which is available in lengths up to 20 feet.
The Model 7x7 twin rod flexible probe allows interface
operation up to 40 feet.
Emulsion Layers
As emulsion (rag) layers can decrease the strength of the
reflected signal, the ECLIPSE Model 705 is recommended
for applications that have clean, distinct layers. The ECLIPSE
Model 705 will tend to detect the top of the emulsion layer.
Contact the factory for application assistance regarding
emulsion layers.
41
3.2.3 Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
TDR uses pulses of electromagnetic (EM) energy to measure distances or levels. When a pulse reaches a dielectric
discontinuity (created by media surface), part of the energy
is reflected. The greater the dielectric difference, the greater
the amplitude (strength) of the reflection.
Although TDR is new to the industrial level measurement
industry, it has been used in the telephone, computer, and
power transmission industries for years. In these industries,
it is used to successfully find wire or cable breaks and
shorts. An EM pulse is sent through the wire, traveling
unimpeded until it finds a line break or short. A reflection
is then returned from the break enabling a timing circuit to
pinpoint the location.
In the ECLIPSE transmitter, a waveguide with a characteristic
impedance in air is used as a probe. When part of the probe
is immersed in a material other than air, there is lower
impedance due to the increase in the dielectric. When an
EM pulse is sent down the probe and meets the dielectric
discontinuity, a reflection is generated.
3.2.4 Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)
ETS (Equivalent Time Sampling) is used to measure the
high speed, low power EM energy. ETS is a critical key in
the application of TDR to vessel level measurement technology. The high speed EM energy (1000 ft/µs) is difficult
to measure over short distances and at the resolution
required in the process industry. ETS captures the EM
signals in real time (nanoseconds) and reconstructs them in
equivalent time (milliseconds), which is much easier to
measure with today’s technology.
ETS is accomplished by scanning the waveguide to collect
thousands of samples. Approximately 8 scans are taken per
second; each scan gathers more than 30,000 samples.

3.3.3 Troubleshooting Applications
Film
Coating
Bridging
Low Dielectric
Medium
(e.g., oil)
High Dielectric
Medium
(e.g., water)
Emulsion Layer
There are numerous causes for application problems.
Media buildup on the probe and stratification are covered
here. Media buildup on the probe is not a problem in most
cases—ECLIPSE circuitry typically works very effectively.
Media buildup should be viewed as two types—Film
Coating and Bridging. A twin rod probe can be utilized
when minor film coating is a possibility. For more extreme
buildup, utilize the Model 7xF or 7x1 Single Rod Probes.
3.3.3.1 Model 705 (Level Application)
• Continuous Film Coating
The most typical of coating problems where the media
forms a continuous coating on the probe. ECLIPSE will
continue to measure effectively with some small degradation in performance. A problem can develop if the product
begins to build up on the spacers that separate the probe
elements. High dielectric media (e.g., water-based) will
cause the greatest error.
• Bridging
Media that is viscous or solid enough to form a clog, or
bridge, between the elements causes the greatest degradation in performance. High dielectric media (e.g., waterbased) will show as level at the location of the bridging.
• Stratification/Interface
The standard Model 705 ECLIPSE transmitter is designed
to measure the first air/media interface it detects. However,
a low dielectric over a high dielectric application can cause
a measurement problem and cause the electronics to trigger
on the high dielectric medium that lies beneath the low
dielectric medium. Select the Fixed Threshold option to
read the upper medium. Example: Oil over water.
3.3.3.2 Model 705 (Interface Application)
It is not uncommon for interface applications to have an
emulsion layer form between the two media. This emulsion
layer may pose problems for Guided Wave Radar as it may
decrease the strength of the reflected signal. Since the properties of this emulsion layer are difficult to quantify, applications with emulsion layer should be avoided with ECLIPSE.

• Do not use Pipe Reducers (restriction)
Coating
Buildup
• Nozzles
Nozzles can create false echoes that can cause diagnostic
messages and/or errors in measurement. If EOP HIGH
or EOP LOW is displayed when first configuring the
instrument:
1. Ensure the PROBE LENGTH as entered in the software
is equal to the actual probe length as noted on the nameplate. This value must be changed if the probe is cut
shorter from the original length.
2. Increase the Blocking Distance value until the message is
eliminated; 20mA point may need to be lowered.
3. Increase the DIELECTRIC RANGE a small amount to
aid in reducing echoes in nozzle. Increasing the
DIELECTRIC setting reduces the gain, which may
cause instrument to lose level of lower dielectric media;
consult factory.

beams, ladder rungs
beams, concrete walls
• Obstructions
If the level reading repeatedly locks on to a specific level
higher than the actual level, it may be caused by a metallic
obstruction. Obstructions in the vessel (e.g., pipes, ladders)
that are located close to the probe may cause the instrument
to show them as level.
1. Refer to the Probe Clearance Table
2. Increase the DIELECTRIC RANGE a small amount to
aid in reducing echoes in nozzle. Increasing the
DIELECTRIC setting reduces the gain, which may
cause instrument to lose level of lower dielectric media;
consult factory.
• Coating/Buildup
The Model 705 and Single Rod probe were designed to
operate effectively in the presence of media building up.
Some expected error may be generated based upon the
following factors:
Dielectric of the media that created the coating
Thickness of the coating
Length of the coating above the present level
• Stratification/Interface
The Model 705 and Single Rod probe should not be used
in applications where media can separate and stratify creating an interface application (e.g., water over oil). The circuitry will detect the lower level—the higher dielectric
medium (e.g., the water level).

Owners of MAGNETROL controls may request the
return of a control or any part of a control for complete
rebuilding or replacement. They will be rebuilt or
replaced promptly. Controls returned under our service
policy must be returned by prepaid transportation.
MAGNETROL will repair or replace the control at no cost
to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if:
1. Returned within the warranty period; and
2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to
be covered under the warranty.
If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our control; or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be
charges for labor and the parts required to rebuild or
replace the equipment.
In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement
parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to
replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this
is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial
numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit
for the materials returned will be determined on the basis
of the applicability of our warranty.
No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequential damage will be allowed.
Return Material Procedure
So that we may efficiently process any materials that are
returned, it is essential that a “Return Material
Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the
factory prior to the material’s return. This is available
through a MAGNETROL local representative or by
contacting the factory. Please supply the following
information:
1. Company Name
2. Description of Material
3. Serial Number
4. Reason for Return
5. Application
Any unit that was used in a process must be properly
cleaned in accordance with OSHA standards, before it is
returned to the factory.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany
material that was used in any media.
All shipments returned to the factory must be by prepaid
transportation.
All replacements will be shipped F.O.B. factory.
