BE 57-600 ECLIPSE Model 705 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
UNPACKING
Unpack the instrument carefully. Make sure all components have
been removed from the foam protection. Inspect all components for
damage. Report any concealed damage to the carrier within 24
hours. Check the contents of the carton/crates against the packing
slip and report any discrepancies to Magnetrol. Check the name-
plate model number to be sure it agrees with the packing slip and
purchase order. Check and record the serial number for future ref-
erence when ordering parts. To avoid moisture ingress in the hous-
ing, covers should be fully tightened at all times. For the same rea-
son, plugs should remain properly installed in the cable entries until
replaced with a cable gland.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ATEX INTRINSICALLY SAFE USE
These units are in conformity with the provisions of:
1. The EMC Directive: 2014/30/EU.
2. Directive 2014/34/EU for equipment or protec-
tive system intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres. EC-
type examination
certificate number KEMA99ATEX0518X
(intrinsic
safe units) or BKI 12 ATEX 0017 (Ex d units) or
KEMA99ATEX5014 (Non sparking units).

IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging during transportation, Eclipse
®
7MD/7ML large coax probes are shipped with 3 transport screws, securing
the inner antenna. The 3 screws have to be removed prior to installation. They are located nearby the process connection. A
separate label is attached to draw the attention to remove the screws.
To avoid moisture ingress in the housing, covers should be fully tightened at all times. For the same reason, cable gland and
plugs should be properly installed in the cable entries.
The unit is preconfigured from factory, based on given application details (when available). Therefore transmitter and GWR
probe have the same serial n°.
Please make sure that corresponding serial numbers are mounted together.
Because the enclosure of the Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter Eclipse Model 705-5xxx-x1x and 705-5xxx-x7x and/or
Probe Eclipse Model 7xx-xxx-xxx is made of aluminium, if it is mounted in an area where the use of category 1G apparatus is
required, it must be installed such, that, even in the event of rare incidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks
are excluded.
For applications in explosive atmospheres caused by combustible dust, gases, vapours or mists and where category 1G or 1D
apparatus is required, electrostatic charges on the non-metallic parts of the Probe Eclipse Model 7xF-xxx-xxx shall be avoided.

For cage/still well:

For cage/still wells:
3": Ø 19 mm (0.75") tubing
4": Ø 25 mm (1.00") tubing
Overfill safe
All 7MG GWR probes are overfill safe. Overfill safe means
that the impedance match of the waveguide (probe) is
aligned from electronics down to the bottom of the GWR
probe. This allows the Eclipse 705 to measure up to the pro-
cess flange without any dead zone at the top of the GWR
probe.
Metallic (or any conductive) obstructions in the tanks
Metallic obstructions have no influence on the measuring
performance of cage GWR probes.
Stillwell/cages
The cage GWR probe is a single rod GWR probe which
uses an existing or new cage, bridle or schedule pipe still-
well to re-create the same propagation of signal of a coaxi-
al GWR probe. Cage GWR probes are suited for 2", 3" or 4"
size diam. and use an impedance matching part that aligns
in the same way with the characteristic impedance of a
standard coaxial style GWR probe.
Shortening of probe length
Cage GWR probes can be easily shortened on site. Always
re-install the bottom spacer and adapt the new probe length
in the menu of the amplifier.
