AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions (LMS), a business of AMETEK, Inc., has expanded its Magnetrol® branded Pulsar Model R80 by introducing a newly developed solids-measurement antenna.
This update enables the existing 80 GHz FMCW radar platform to perform reliably in demanding bulk solids applications.
The new Pulsar Model R80 solids antenna delivers improved measurement capability through its high-frequency signal, narrow beam angle, and advanced configuration software. It measures low-dielectric materials and maintains stable performance in environments with dust, vapor, or uneven surface profiles created during filling or emptying. “Customers working with those often difficult solids applications require a stable, accurate measurement technology,” said Bob Botwinski, Sr. Global Product Manager, GWR/Radar.
“The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is designed to make commissioning straightforward while providing consistent performance across a wide range of industrial environments.” Key Features of the Pulsar Model R80 • 80 GHz FMCW signal with narrow beam angles • 3”/150# and 4”/150# process connections • Swivel-mount flange for accurate radar alignment • Purge connection for in-situ lens cleaning • Measuring range up to 60 meters (200 feet) • Software-guided commissioning wizards • Proactive diagnostics with actionable troubleshooting insights • Replaceable transmitter head that maintains the process seal • SIL 2 suitable with 92.3% SFF AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions • 705 Enterprise Street, Aurora • Illinois 60504-8149 USA Phone: +1-630-969-4000 • www.AMETEK-Measurement.com • info.magnetrol@ametek.com • FCC, ETSI, and ISED approvals for both “In Tank” and “Out of Tank” installations The Pulsar Model R80 is the first radar transmitter for bulk solids developed by AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions and provides customers with a new option for industrial solids‑level measurement.
