1.0 QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide an overview
of the key steps required for mounting wiring and config-
uring the ECLIPSE Model 700 Guided Wave Radar level
transmitter. These procedures are intended for more experi-
enced installers of ECLIPSE transmitters (or other electron-
ic level measurement instruments).
Section 2.0 Complete Installation offers more detailed
installation instructions for the first time user.
WARNING: Overfill- apable probes su h as the Model 7zP or 7zT
should be used for any Safety Shutdown/Overfill appli-
ations.
The Model 700 transmitter, when used with an overfill
oaxial probe, is apable of measuring true liquid level all
the way up to the fa e of the flange or NPT onne tion.
This is a very unique advantage as ompared to other
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) devi es that may infer level
at the top of the probe when signals are lost or un ertain.
Refer to Se tion 3.2.5 for additional information on over-
fill apability.
Depending on the probe type, all other ECLIPSE probes
should be installed so the maximum overfill level is a
minimum of 150–300 mm (6"–12") below the flange or
NPT onne tion. This may in lude utilizing a nozzle or
spool pie e to raise the probe. Consult fa tory to ensure
proper installation and operation.

• Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch
components or connector pins.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are completely
made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip-
ment to a good earth ground.
2.3 Before You Begin
2.3.1 Site Preparation
Each ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter is built to match the
physical specifications of the required installation. Ensure
that the probe process connection is correct for the threaded
or flanged mounting on the vessel where the transmitter will
be placed. See Mounting Section 2.4.
Ensure that all local state and federal regulations and
guidelines are observed. See Wiring Section 2.5.
Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and
ECLIPSE transmitter is complete and correct for the type
of installation. See Specifications Section 3.6.
2.3.2 Equipment and Tools
No special equipment or tools are required to install the
ECLIPSE transmitter. The following items are recommended:
• Open-end wrenches (or adjustable wrench) to fit the process
connection size and type.
•Coaxial probe: 38 mm (1 1/2")
•Single Rod probe: 47 mm (1 7/8")
A torque wrench is highly desirable.
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Cable cutter and 3/32" hex wrench (for flexible cable probes
only)
• Digital multimeter (DMM)
• 24 VDC power supply 23 mA minimum
2.3.3 Operational Considerations
Operating specifications vary based on probe model
number. See Specifications Section 3.6.

2.4 Mounting
An ECLIPSE Model 700 GWR probe can be mounted on
to a tank using a variety of process connections. Generally
either a threaded or flanged connection is used. For infor-
mation about the sizes and types of connections available
see Probe Model Numbers Section 3.7.2.
NOTE: Do not pla e insulating material around any part of the ECLIPSE
Model 700 transmitter as this may ause ex essive heat buildup.
Ensure that all mounting connections are properly in place
on the tank before installing the probe.
WARNING! Overfill- apable probes su h as the Model 7zP or 7zT
should be used for any Safety Shutdown/Overfill appli-
ations.
The Model 700 transmitter, when used with an overfill
oaxial probe, is apable of measuring true liquid level to
within spe ifi ation all the way up to the fa e of the
flange or NPT onne tion. This is a very unique advan-
tage as ompared to other Guided Wave Radar (GWR)
devi es that may infer level at the top of the probe when
signals are lost or un ertain. Refer to Se tion 3.2.6 for
additional information on overfill apability.
All other ECLIPSE probes should be installed so the
maximum overfill level is a minimum of 150 mm (6")
below the flange or NPT onne tion. This may in lude
utilizing a nozzle or spool pie e to raise the probe.
Consult fa tory to ensure proper installation and operation.
WARNING! Do not disassemble probe when in servi e and under
pressure.
NOTE: Model 7zP high pressure probe ( ontaining a glass erami
alloy pro ess seal) should be handled with extra are. Handle
this probe only by the flange or NPT onne tion. If supplied,
remove transport hardware as shown at left prior to installation.
2.4.1 Installing a Coaxial Probe
(Models 7zP and 7zT)
Before installing ensure that:
• Probe has adequate room for installation and has unob-
structed entry to the bottom of the vessel.
• Process temperature pressure dielectric and viscosity are
within the probe specifications for the installation. See
Specifications Section 3.6.

2.4.2 Installing a Single Rod Probe
Rigid Models 7zF
Flexible Models 7z1
Before installing ensure that the:
• Probe has adequate room for installation and has unob-
structed entry to the bottom of the vessel.
• Process temperature pressure dielectric and viscosity are
within the probe specifications for the installation. See
Specifications Section 3.6.
NOTE: If using a removable single rod, ensure that all pie es are
assembled and onne ted before installation.
1. Ensure that the nozzle does not restrict performance by
ensuring the following (refer to figure at left):
• Nozzle is > 50 mm (2") diameter.
• Ratio of Diameter: Length (A:B) is 1:1 or greater; any ratio
<1:1 (e.g. a 50 mm x 152 mm 2"¥6" nozzle = 1:3) may
require a Blocking Distance and/or DIELECTRIC
RANGE adjustment.
2. No pipe reducers (restrictions) are used.
3. Probe is kept away from conductive objects to ensure prop-
er performance.
• See Probe Clearance Table below. A lower gain (increase in
DIELECTRIC RANGE setting) may be necessary to
ignore certain objects
• This table is only a recommendation. These distances can
be improved by optimizing the transmitter configuration
with PACTware™.

2.5 Wiring
Caution: The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter operates at voltages
of 11–36 VDC. Higher voltages will damage the transmitter.
Wiring connections between the power supply and the
ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter should be made using
18–22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable.
Connections are made to the terminal strip and the
ground connections beneath the LCD module.
The directions for wiring the ECLIPSE transmitter depend
on the application:
• General Purpose
• Intrinsically Safe
• Non-Incendive (Cl I Div. 2)
WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not dis onne t equipment unless
power has been swit hed off or the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
2.5.1 General Purpose or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)
A general purpose installation does not have flammable
media present.
Areas rated Non-Incendive (Cl I Div. 2) have flammable
media present only under abnormal conditions.
No special electrical connections are required.
To install General Purpose or Non-Incendive wiring:
1. Remove the cover of the Model 700 transmitter.
2. Using the grip edge at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock on the LCD
module shown at left carefully remove the LCD module
from the transmitter. (Note that this module is conve-
niently tethered to the device.)
3. Attach a conduit fitting and mount the conduit plug in the
spare opening. Pull power supply wire through the fitting.
4. If present connect cable shield to an earth ground at the
power supply.
5. Connect an earth ground to the green ground screw (Not
shown in illustration).
6. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and
the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal.
7. Align the LCD assembly in the connector slot and re-insert
the LCD assembly; replace and tighten the cover.

2.5.2 Intrinsically Safe
An Intrinsically Safe (IS) installation potentially has flam-
mable media present. An approved IS barrier must be
installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area to limit the avail-
able energy out to the hazardous area.
See Agency Drawing – Intrinsically Safe Installation
Section 3.5.2.
To install Intrinsically Safe wiring:
1. Remove the cover of the Model 700 transmitter.
2. Using the grip edge at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock on the LCD
module shown at left carefully remove the LCD module
from the transmitter. (Note that this module is conve-
niently tethered to the device.)
3. Attach a conduit fitting and mount the conduit plug in
the spare opening. Pull power supply wire through the fit-
ting.
4. If present connect cable shield to an earth ground at the
power supply.
5. Connect an earth ground to the green ground screw (Not
shown in illustration).
6. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and
the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal.
7. Align the LCD assembly in the connector slot and re-
insert the LCD assembly; replace and tighten the cover.

2.6 Configuration
Although the ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter can be
delivered pre-configured from the factory it can also be
easily reconfigured in the shop or at the installation using
the local LCD/Keypad or PACTware/DTM. Bench config-
uration provides a convenient and efficient way to set up
the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete
the installation.
Before configuring any transmitter collect all operating
parameters information (refer to Section 1.1.2).
Apply power to the transmitter and follow the step-by-step
procedures below for the menu-driven transmitter display.
Refer to Sections 2.6.2 and 2.6.4.
Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART
communicator is given in Section 2.7 Configuration
Using HART.
2.6.1 Bench Configuration
The ECLIPSE Model 700 transmitter can be easily config-
ured at a test bench by connecting a standard 24 VDC
power supply directly to the transmitter terminals.
When using a HART communicator for configuration a
minimum 250-ohm line load resistance is required. Refer
to your HART communicator manual for additional
information.

2.6.2 Menu Traversal and Data Entry
The 4-button directional keypad push buttons offer vari-
ous forms of functionality for navigation and data entry.
The Model 700 user interface is hierarchical in nature
best described as a tree structure. Each level in the tree
contains one or more items. Items are either menu labels
or parameter names.
• Menu labels are presented in all capital letters
• Parameters are capitalized words
2.6.2.1 Navigating the Menu
UP moves to the previous item in the menu branch.
DOWN moves to the next item in the menu branch.
BACK moves back one level to the previous (higher)
branch item.
ENTER enters into the lower level branch or switches
to the entry mode. Holding the ENTER down on any
highlighted menu name or parameter will show help
text for that item.
2.6.2.2 Data Sele tion
This method is used for selecting configuration data from
a specific list.
UP and DOWN to navigate the menu and high-
light the item of interest.
ENTER allows modification of that selection.
UP and DOWN to choose new data selection.
ENTER to confirm selection.
Use BACK (Escape) key at any time to abort the proce-
dure and escape to previous branch item.
