  • Page 46: Reference Information

    3.1 Description The Model R82 is a two-wire, 24 VDC level transmitter based on the concept of pulse burst radar operating at 26 GHz. The electronics are mounted in a metal or plastic housing with an innovative, internal launcher orientation mechanism.

  • Page 47: Equivalent Time Sampling

    The exact level measurement is extracted from false echo reflections and other background noise via the use of sophisticated signal processing. The new R82 circuitry is extremely energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary to accomplish effective measurement. For this reason, the R82 can track high rates of change that were heretofore impossi- ble with existing loop-powered radar transmitters.

  • Page 48: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The Model R82 transmitter is designed and engineered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating conditions. Common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and recommended corrective actions. W RNING! Explosion hazard. Do not remove covers unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non- hazardous.
