 Eclipse® Aurora® Guided Wave Radar with Magnetic Level Indicator   Printer Friendly Version
Aurora combines the operation of a conventional float operated magnetic level indicator with the leading edge technology of Guided Wave Radar. The result is a true level measurement redundancy in a single 3" or 4" chamber design. The Aurora is a completely self-contained unit for side mounting to a tank or vessel with threaded or flanged pipe connections.

Eclipse Guided Wave Radar is based upon the technology of TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry). TDR utilizes pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted down a probe. When a pulse reaches a surface that has a higher dielectric than the air/vapor in which it is traveling, the pulse is reflected. An ultra high-speed timing circuit precisely measures the transit time and provides an accurate level measurement.

Eclipse GWR can be utilized to detect overall level or interface level, and when used with a HART® splitter, it can transmit two 4-20 mA signals.

Change in the process tank level corresponds to change within the Aurora chamber. The float within the chamber actuates flags or a shuttle for visual indication while the Eclipse® GWR transmitter provides continuous electronic level measurement.
