Page 13: Obstructions
See Figure The narrow beam width of the 26 GHz, R82 does allow mounting so that the antenna can be recessed inside the nozzle. Optimally, the recessed dimension should never exceed 2× the nozzle diameter. -
Page 14: Standpipes And Stillwells
2.4.1.5 Standpipes and Stillwells The R82 can be mounted in a standpipe or stillwell but certain considerations should be given: • Metal stillwells only: 2" (Sched 40 max.) to 4" (50–100 mm). • Diameter must be consistent throughout length; no reducers. -

Page 16: Wiring
Wiring Caution The R82 Radar transmitter operates at voltages of 16–36 VDC (GP) and 16-28.6 VDC (IS). Higher voltage will dam- age the transmitter. Wiring between the power supply and the Radar transmitter should be made using 18–22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable. -

Page 29: Theory Of Operation
3.1 Description The Model R82 is a two-wire, 24 VDC level transmitter based on the concept of pulse burst radar operating at 26GHz. The electronics are mounted in a metal or plastic housing with an innovative, internal launcher orientation mechanism. -
Page 30: Equivalent Time Sampling
The exact level measurement is extracted from false echo reflections and other background noise via the use of sophis- ticated signal processing. The new R82 circuitry is extreme- ly energy efficient so no duty cycling is necessary to accom- plish effective measurement. For this reason, the R82 can track high rates of change that were heretofore impossible with existing loop-powered radar transmitters. -
Page 31: 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. WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not remove covers unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non- hazardous. -
