Pulsar® Model R86
brings a new, smarter Non-
Contact Radar transmitter
to process industries
T
he latest innovation from
the Magnetrol® Think Tank
provides safe, efficient and
cost-effective liquid level
measurement
Magnetrol International has launched the
PULSAR Model R86 Non-Contact Radar
transmitter, an advanced level control
solution that offers radar technology with
improved performance for a wide range of
level measurement applications.
The PULSAR Model R86 is designed to
provide outstanding accuracy, reliability
and safety for virtually all process
industries.
Latest-generation features include:
Improved Performance
The 26GHz radar signal has a smaller
wavelength, resulting in smaller antennas
and improved 1mm resolution.

This is an important distinction for
demanding process conditions because
the smaller beam angle allows for
installation into process connections
as small as 1½”. As a result, The PULSAR
Model R86 assures precise, dependable
control for a complete spectrum of level
applications.
Advanced Diagnostics
The user interface experience of the
PULSAR Model R86 is driven by advanced
diagnostics that transforms the way
that radar level measurement is used.
Automated echo capture conveys real-
time waveform and trend data so users can
assess the situation at a glance.
In addition, the event history shows up
to 20 events including diagnostic and
configuration data to pinpoint any issues.
Troubleshooting tips are also given to
provide practical solutions that can help
companies reduce downtime.
True Versatility
The PULSAR Model R86 uses circular
polarization, which means there’s no need
to rotate the antenna to ensure proper
orientation. This simplifies installation
and delivers proper alignment in virtually
every application. High Temperature
antennas are designed for use in extremely
demanding applications and punishing
conditions up to 750oF (400oC). There are
also nozzle extensions ranging from 4”
to 72” (10 cm to 1.8 meters). That means
nonstandard nozzle lengths and buried
vessel standpipes are not an issue for this
advanced solution.
The PULSAR R86 introduction
represents the latest radar innovation
from MAGNETROL, the company that
introduced the very first 2-wire, loop-
powered guided wave radar transmitter for
industrial liquid level applications.
