This company has expanded its Magnetrol-branded Pulsar Model R80 produce range 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. The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is designed to make commissioning straightforward while providing consistent performance across a wide range of industrial environments, says the manufacturer. Key features of the Pulsar Model R80 include: 80 GHz FMCW signal with narrow beam angles; 3-in./150# and 4-in//150# process connections; Swivel-mount flange for accurate radar alignment; Purge connection for in-situ lens cleaning; and measuring range up to 60 m (200 ft). The system comes equipped with software-guided commissioning functionality and proactive diagnostics with actionable troubleshooting insights. A replaceable transmitter head maintains the process seal. — AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions, Zele, Belgium
