THEORY OF OPERATION The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is a smart, two-wire

continuous level transmitter. A 5400 transmitter is installed at the tank top and

emits short microwave pulses towards the product surface in the tank. When

a pulse reaches the surface of the material it is measuring, part of the energy

is reflected back to the antenna for subsequent processing by the transmitter

electronics. The time difference between the transmitted and reflected pulse

is detected by a micro-processor and is converted into a distance from which

the level is calculated.

The product level is related to the tank height and the measured distance by

the following expression:

Level=Tank Height - Distance.

SYSTEM

ARCHITECTURE

The 5400 Series Radar Level Transmitter is a powerful radar level transmitter

suitable for non-contact level measurements in process tanks and other types

of tanks. It is designed for easy installation and maintenance free operation.

The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered which

means it uses the same two wires for both power supply and output signal.

The output is a 4-20 mA analog signal superimposed with a digital HART

signal.

Figure 2-3. System Integration.

The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter can easily be configured by

using a PC and the Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) software package or via

a 275/375 Handheld Communicator. RRM offers configuration and service

capabilities and functions for presentation of measurement data. The

transmitter is also compatible with the AMS™ Suite software which can be

used for configuration.

For stand-alone systems, or as a complement to a PC or a control system,

you can monitor level data using an analog output. As an option, the

Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Level Transmitter can be equipped with a

Display for monitoring measurement data.

PROCESS

CHARACTERISTICS

Dielectric constant The reflectivity of the product is a key parameter for measurement

performance. A high dielectric constant of the media gives better reflection

and thus enables a longer measuring range.

Foam How well the Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter measures in foamy

applications depends upon the properties of the foam; light and airy or dense

and heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy

the transmitter will probably measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is

less conductive the microwaves will probably penetrate the foam and

measure the liquid surface.

Turbulence A calm surface gives better reflection than a turbulent surface. For turbulent

applications the low frequency version Rosemount 5401 is recommended.

Temperature/Pressure/

Density and Vapor

Temperature and pressure generally has no impact on measurements.

Measurements are also insensitive to product density and vapor.

Condensation For applications where heavy condensation and vapors may occur the low

frequency version Rosemount 5401 is recommended.

Tank Characteristics The conditions inside the tank have a significant impact on measurement

performance. For more information see “Vessel Characteristics” on page 3-8.

MOUNTING

CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install the Rosemount 5400 Series, be sure to consider specific

mounting requirements, vessel characteristics and process characteristics.

Socket Recommendation The Rosemount 5400 Series is mounted on a nozzle by using appropriate

flanges. For best performance it is recommended that the socket meets the

following recommendations:

Figure 3-1. Mounting of the 5400

Series transmitter.

Table 3-1. Requirements on

socket height and width.

The transmitter should be installed as follows:

• The antenna must be aligned vertically.

• Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger receiving area

concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain.

Increased antenna gain means greater margin for weak surface

echoes. A larger antenna also results in smaller beam angle and

thereby, less interference from any internal structures in the tank.

• For best measurement performance, the antenna should extend below

the nozzle 0.4 inches (10 mm) or more.

Recommended Mounting

Position

When finding an appropriate mounting position for the transmitter the

conditions of the tank must be carefully considered. The transmitter should be

mounted so that the influence of disturbing objects is reduced to a minimum.

Figure 3-3. It is important to

consider the proper mounting

position.

• Disturbing objects and filling inlets creating turbulence should be kept

at a distance, outside the signal beam (see Figure 3-4 for beam width

information).

• Avoid to install the transmitter at the centre of the tank roof.

• A bridle / still-pipe can be used to avoid interference from disturbing

objects, turbulence or foam.

Vessel Characteristics Heating coils, agitators and other objects in the tank may lead to disturbing

echoes and noise in the measurement signal. Vertical structures cause

minimal effect since the radar signal is scattered rather than directed back to

the antenna.

The shape of the tank bottom affects the measurement signal when the

product surface is close to the tank bottom. The Rosemount 5400 Series has

built-in functions which optimize measurement performance for various

bottom shapes (see “Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type” on page 4-3).

Disturbing objects The 5400 Series transmitter should be mounted so that objects such as

heating coils, ladders etc. are not within the radar signal path. These objects

may cause false echoes resulting in reduced measurement performance.

However, the transmitter has built-in functions designed to reduce the

influence from disturbing objects in case such objects can not be totally

avoided.

earth ground with minimal impedance. There are two grounding screw

connections provided. One is inside the Terminal compartment of the housing

and the other is located on one of the cooling fins below the housing. The

internal ground screw is identified by a ground symbol: .

NOTE!

Grounding the transmitter via threaded conduit connection may not provide

sufficient ground.

NOTE!

In the Explosionproof/Flameproof version the electronics is grounded via the

transmitter housing. After installation and commissioning make sure that no

ground currents exist due to high ground potential differences in the

installation.

Cable Selection Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5400 Series. The cables

must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous

areas, where applicable. For instance, in the U.S., explosionproof conduits

must be used in the vicinity of the vessel. For the ATEX flameproof approval

version of the Rosemount 5400 Series, suitable conduits with sealing device

or flameproof (EEx d) cable glands must be used depending on local

requirements.

Use 18 AWG to 12 AWG wiring in order to minimize the voltage drop to the

transmitter.

Hazardous Areas When the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter is installed in hazardous area,

national and local regulations and specifications in applicable certificates

must be observed.

External Circuit Breaker For complicance with Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEG an external circuit

breaker should be installed.

OVERVIEW Configuration of a Rosemount 5400 transmitter is normally a simple and

straight-forward task. If the transmitter is pre-configured at factory according

to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further Basic

Configuration is required unless tank conditions have changed. The 5400

Series supports a set of advanced configuration options as well, which can be

used to handle special tank conditions and applications.

Basic Configuration The Basic Configuration includes parameters for a standard configuration

which is sufficient in most cases. The Basic Configuration comprises the

following items:

• Measurement Units

• Tank Configuration

- Tank Geometry

- Environment

- Volume

• Analog Output

Echo Tuning Echo Tuning is used to handle special situations when there are objects in the

tank which cause disturbing echoes that are stronger than the surface echo.

The following tools are available to handle such situations:

• Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)

• False Echo registration

Advanced Configuration For some applications further configuration is needed in addition to the Basic

Configuration. This may be due to the properties of the product or the shape

of the tank. Disturbing objects and turbulent conditions in the tank may also

require that advanced measures are taken. See Appendix D: Advanced

Configuration for more information.

Configuration Tools There are several tools available for basic configuration of a 5400 transmitter:

• Rosemount Radar Master (RRM). Note that RRM is required for

advanced configuration features.

See “Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master” on page 4-11 for

information on how to use RRM for configuration of the 5400 Series.

• Rosemount 275/375 Field Communicator.

See “Configuration using a 275/375 Handheld Communicator” on

page 4-20 for Field Communicator Menu Tree.

• AMS Suite software.

RRM is a user-friendly, Windows based software package including waveform

plots, off-line/on-line configuration Wizard, logging, and extensive on-line

help.

To communicate with the transmitter using RRM, a HART® modem (part

number 03300-7004-0001) is required.

BASIC CONFIGURATION This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a

Rosemount 5400 transmitter. If the transmitter is pre-configured at factory

according to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no

further basic configuration is needed unless conditions have changed since

the ordering date.

At the end of this section different configuration tools are described.

Measurement Units Measurement units can be specified for presentation of Level, Level Rate,

Volume and Temperature values.

Tank Geometry Tank Height

The Tank Height is the distance between the Upper Reference Point at the

underside of the transmitter flange, and the Lower Reference Point close to or

at the bottom of the tank. The transmitter measures the distance to the

product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine

the level.

Figure 4-1. Tank Geometry

Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type

The 5400 transmitter is optimized according to the Tank Type and Tank

Bottom Type configuration by automatically setting some parameters to

pre-defined default values.

Select Tank Bottom Type Flat Inclined if the bottom inclination is between 10

and 30 degrees. If the inclination is less than 10 degrees but there are

disturbing objects on the tank floor (like heating coils) within the radar beam,

this selection should also be used. If inclination is greater than 30 degrees

use Tank Bottom Type Cone.

Figure 4-2. The transmitter can

be optimized for different tank

types and bottom shapes.

Pipe Diameter

When the transmitter is mounted in a still pipe the inner diameter of the pipe

must be specified. The Pipe Diameter is used to compensate for the lower

microwave propagation speed inside the pipe. An incorrect value will give a

scale factor error. If locally supplied still-pipes are used, make sure the inner

diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.

Hold Off Distance

This parameter should only be changed if there are disturbing objects close to

the antenna. No valid measurements are possible above the Hold Off

Distance. By increasing the Hold Off Distance the measuring range is

reduced.

Process Conditions Describe the conditions in your tank according to the Tank Environment

parameters for Process Conditions listed below. For best performance,

choose only if applicable and not more than two options.

Rapid Level Changes

Optimize the transmitter for measurement conditions where the level changes

quickly due to filling and emptying of the tank. As a default standard a 5400

transmitter is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 inch/s (40 mm/s). When

the Rapid Level Changes check box is marked, the transmitter can track level

changes of up to 8 inch/s (200 mm/s).

Turbulent Surface

This parameter should be used if the tank shows a turbulent surface. The

reason for the turbulence might be splash loading, agitators, mixers, or boiling

product. Normally the waves in a tank are quite small and cause local rapid

level changes. By setting this parameter the performance of the transmitter

will be improved when there are small and quickly changing amplitudes and

levels.

Rosemount 5400 Series

Foam

Setting this parameter optimizes the gauge for conditions with weak and

varying surface echo amplitudes such as foam. When the foam is light and

airy the actual product level is measured. For heavy and dense foam the

transmitter measures the level of the upper surface of the foam.

Solid Products (Future)

Setting this parameter optimizes the transmitter for solid products, for

example concrete or grains, which are not transparent for radar signals. For

instance, this parameter can be used when the application is a silo with

product build-up.

Product Dielectric Range

The Dielectric Constant is related to the reflectivity of the product. By setting

this parameter measurement performance can be optimized. However, the

transmitter will still be able to perform well even if the actual Dielectric

Constant differs from the configured value.

Volume To configure the Rosemount 5400 transmitter for volume calculations you

have to choose the desired calculation method.

Volume calculation is performed by using a strapping table or a predefined

tank shape. You can choose one of the following standard tank shapes:

Sphere, Horizontal Cylinder, Vertical Cylinder, Horizontal Bullet or Vertical

Bullet.

The following parameters must be entered for a standard tank shape:

• Tank diameter.

• Tank height (not for spherical tanks).

• Volume Offset: use this parameter if you do not want zero volume and

zero level to match (for example if you want to include volume below

the zero level).

Strapping Table

The Strapping Table option should be used when the tank shape deviates

significantly from an ideal sphere or cylinder, or when high volume accuracy is

required.

The Strapping Table divides the tank into segments. Level values and

corresponding volumes are entered starting at the bottom of the tank. These

figures can typically be obtained from tank drawings or from a certificate

provided by the tank manufacturer. A maximum of 20 strapping points can be

entered. For each level value the corresponding total volume up to the

specified level is entered.

The volume value is interpolated if the product surface is between two level

values in the table.

ECHO TUNING When the Basic Configuration is performed the transmitter may need to be

tuned to handle disturbing objects in the tank. There are different methods

available for disturbance echo handling with the Rosemount 5400 Series

Transmitter:

• Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)

• False Echo registration

The Guided Setup in the configuration program Rosemount Radar Master

includes a Measure and Learn function which automatically registers false

echoes and creates an ATC (see “Guided Setup” on page 4-14).

Amplitude Threshold

Curve

Setting up an Amplitude Threshold Curve makes tracking of the product

surface more robust in the presence of noise and weak disturbing echoes.

The ATC is normally used for filtering out disturbances with an amplitude that

is smaller than the amplitude of the product surface echo.

Figure 4-4. Weak disturbing

echoes can be filtered out by

creating an amplitude threshold.

The Amplitude Threshold Curve function is available in the Rosemount Radar

Master (RRM) program.

Rosemount 5400 Series

Registration of False

Echoes

The False Echo function is used to improve the performance of the gauge

when the surface is close to a horizontal surface of a stationary object in the

tank. The object causes an echo when it is above the surface. When the

echoes from the surface and the object are close to each other, they might

interfere and cause a decrease in performance.

Figure 4-5. The Rosemount

5400 can handle disturbing

radar echoes.

The False Echo function allows you to register disturbing echoes caused by

objects in the tank. When the surface is passing by a disturbing object, the

gauge can measure with higher reliability, when the position of the object is

registered. This makes it possible to detect a product surface close to a

disturbance echo even if the surface echo is weaker than the disturbing echo.

See the following recommendations before you register new interfering

echoes:

• Make sure that a correct amplitude threshold curve is set before you

page 4-8).

• Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or by visual

inspection of the tank. Note if there are objects like beams, heating

coils, agitators etc. which correspond to the found echoes. Only

clearly identified as objects in the tank, keeping the number of

registered echoes to a minimum.

• Make sure the level is stable before you register a disturbance echo. A

fluctuating level may indicate a temporary disturbance which is not due

to an interfering object.

• Do not register False Echoes located below the product surface. It is

recommended that registration is done when the tank is empty.

Measured value gets stuck. May be caused by disturbing object in the

tank

Action:

• Remove disturbing object in the tank.

• Move the transmitter to another

position or turn the transmitter 90°.

• Use the Echo Tuning function in RRM

to register the false echo that causes

the transmitter to lock on the wrong

level, see “Echo Tuning” on page 4-8.

• Put an inclined metal plate on top of

the disturbing object.

Measured value drops to zero

level.

May be caused by strong echoes from the

tank bottom when product is slightly

transparent.

Action:

• Check Tank Height.

• Make sure that the Bottom Echo

Visible parameter is enabled, see

“Bottom Echo Visible” on page D-4

and D-8.

• Try using the Tank Bottom Projection

function if the following conditions are

fulfilled:

- The product is transparent.

- The tank bottom echo is visible.

- The Bottom Echo Visible parameter

is enabled.

Measured value drops to zero

level.

(You can verify Empty Tank state

by opening the Tank Display

window in RRM).

If the transmitter loses track of the surface

within the Empty Tank Detection Area the

tank is considered empty. See section

“Empty Tank Detection Area” on page D-4

and D-9.

Action:

If possible try another mounting position.

Measured level jumps to a lower

value.

May be caused by:

• Two products layered in the tank.

Action:

• Enable the Double Surface function,

Incorrect level when the product

surface is above the 50% level.

May be caused by:

• Radar echo bouncing off from the

surface to the tank roof and back to

the surface.

• Product with very high reflectivity

causing very strong echoes.

Action:

• Move the transmitter away from the

center of the tank roof.

• Enable the Double Bounce function,

see “Double Bounce” on page D-5

and D-12.

• Disturbing objects near the antenna.

Action:

• If possible mount the transmitter on

another nozzle.

• Increase the Hold Off distance.

RRM: Setup>Advanced.

HART: [1,4,5,4].

• Use Antenna Extension, see

“Antenna Extension” on page 3-12.

The level value drops to a lower

value when the product surface

is close to the antenna.

May be caused by:

• Product level is within the Hold Off

region, i.e. outside the approved

measuring range, and the transmitter

picks up secondary signal reflections.

Action:

• Avoid filling the tank to levels very

close to the antenna.

• If possible, move the transmitter to

increase the distance between

maximum product level and antenna.

• Activate the Full Tank Handling

function if measurements up to the

CONNECTIONS The 275 HART Communicator exchanges information with the 5400 Series

transmitters from the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring

termination point in the loop. The 275 HART Communicator should be

connected in parallel with the transmitter. Use the loop connection ports on

the rear panel of the 275 HART Communicator (see Figure C-2). The

connections are non-polarized.

Do not make connections to the serial port or NiCad recharger pack in an

explosive atmosphere.

Figure C-2. Rear connection

panel with Optional NiCad

Recharger Jack

Before connecting the 275 HART Communicator in an explosive atmosphere,

make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with

intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.

NOTE

The 275 HART Communicator needs a minimum of 250 ohms resistance in

the loop to function properly. The 275 HART Communicator does not

measure loop current directly.

NOTE

Loop must be broken to insert the 250 ohm load resistor.

HOT Key

Use this key to quickly access important, user-defined options when

connected to a HART-compatible device. Pressing the Hot Key turns

the 275 HART Communicator on and displays the Hot Key Menu.

See Customizing the Hot Key Menu in the 275 HART Communicator manual

for more information.

Function Keys

Use the four software-defined function keys, located below the LCD, to

perform software functions. On any given menu, the label appearing above a

function key indicates the function of that key for the

current menu.

As you move among menus, different function key labels appear over the four

keys. For example, in menus providing access to online help, the label

may appear above the F1 key. In menus providing access to the Home Menu,

the label may appear above the F3 key. Press the key to activate the

function. See the 275 HART Communicator manual for details on specific

Function Key definitions.

Alphanumeric and Shift Keys

The Alphanumeric keys perform two functions: fast selection of menu options

(refer to HART Fast Key Feature in this section) and data entry.

Figure C-4. 275 HART

MENUS AND

FUNCTIONS

The 275 HART Communicator is a menu driven system. Each screen

provides a menu of options that can be selected or provides direction for input

of data, warnings, messages, or other instructions.

Main Menu

When the 275 HART Communicator is turned on, one of two menus appears:

the Online Menu or the Main Menu.

If the 275 HART Communicator is connected to an operating loop, the

communicator finds the device and displays the Online Menu.

If it is not connected to a loop, the communicator indicates that no device was

found. When you press OK (F4), it displays the Main Menu.

The Main Menu provides the following options:

•Offline – The Offline option provides access to offline configuration data

and simulation functions.

•Online – The Online option checks for a device and if it finds one,

brings up the Online Menu. Online communication with the 5400 Series

Transmitter automatically loads the current gauge data to the 275

HART Communicator.

•Transfer – The Transfer option provides access to options for

transferring data either from the 275 HART Communicator (memory) to

the 5400 Series Transmitter (device) or vice versa. Transfer is used to

move offline data from the 275 HART Communicator to the gauge, or to

retrieve data from a gauge for offline revision.

•Frequency Device – The Frequency Device option displays the

frequency output and corresponding pressure output of

current-to-pressure transmitters.

•Utility – The Utility option provides access to the contrast control for the

275 HART Communicator LCD screen and to the autopoll setting used

in multidrop applications.

To select an option from the menu, you can use the up and down

arrow keys and the select (right arrow) key or you can simply press

the corresponding number on the alphanumeric keypad to “fast select” the

option.

Rosemount 5400 Series

After selecting a Main Menu option, the 275 HART Communicator provides

the information you need to complete the operation. If further details are

required, consult the 275 HART Communicator manual.

Online Menu

The Online Menu can be selected from the Main Menu or it appears

automatically if the 275 HART Communicator is connected to an active

loop and can detect an operating 5400 transmitter.

Online mode is used for direct evaluation of a particular meter,

re-configuration, changing parameters, maintenance, and other functions.

When configuration variables are reset in online mode, the new

settings are not activated until the data is sent to the gauge. Press SEND (F2)

when it is activated to update the process variables of the 5400 transmitter.

NOTE

The Main Menu can be accessed from the Online Menu. Press the left arrow

action key to deactivate the online communication with the gauge and to

activate the Main Menu options.

HART Fast Key Feature

The HART Fast Key feature provides quick online access to gauge variables

and functions. Instead of stepping your way through the menu structure using

the Action Keys, you can press a HART

Fast Key sequence to move from the Online Menu to the desired variable or

function. On-screen instructions guide you through the

rest of the screens.

The HART Fast Key sequences are made up of the series of numbers

corresponding to the individual options in each step of the menu structure. For

example, from the Online Menu you can change the Date. Following the

menu structure, you would:

1. Press 1 to reach Device Setup.

2. Press 4 for Detailed Setup.

3. Press 1 for Device Information.

4. Press 7for Date.

So, the corresponding HART Fast Key sequence is 1, 4, 1, 7.

HART Fast Keys are operational only from the Online Menu. If you use them

consistently, you return to the Online Menu by pressing HOME (F3) when it is

available. If you do not start at the Online Menu, the HART Fast Keys will not

function properly.

Use Table C-1, an alphabetical listing of online functions, to find the

corresponding HART Fast Keys. These codes are applicable only to the 5400

Series and the 275 HART Communicator.

The Distance Offset (G) is defined as the distance between the upper

reference point and the flange (the flange is referred to as the Transmitter’s

Reference Point). You can use the Distance Offset to specify your own

reference point at the top of the tank. Set the Distance Offset to zero if you

want the flange as upper reference point. The Distance Offset is defined as

positive if you use an upper reference point above the Upper Reference Point.

Minimum Level Offset (C) The Minimum Level Offset (C) defines a lower null zone which extends the

measurement range beyond the Lower Reference Point down to the tank

bottom. The Minimum Level Offset is defined as the distance between the

Lower Reference Point (Level=0) and the minimum accepted level at the tank

bottom. Set the Minimum Level Offset to zero if you use the tank bottom as

Lower Reference Point. This case corresponds to the standard Tank

Geometry configuration.

Note that the Tank Height must be measured down to the Lower Reference

Point regardless if it is located at the tank bottom or at an elevated point.

Hold Off Distance This parameter should only be changed if there are disturbing objects close to

the antenna. No valid measurements are possible above the Hold Off

Distance. By increasing the Hold Off Distance the measuring range is

reduced.

Calibration Distance The Calibration Distance is by default set to zero. It is used to adjust the

transmitter so that measured levels match hand dipped or otherwise known

product levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary. There may for

example be a deviation between the actual tank height and the value obtained

from tank drawings, which usually gets stored in the transmitter database.

TRANSMITTER

SETTINGS

Antenna Type The transmitter is designed to optimize measurement performance for each

available antenna type.

This parameter is pre-configured at factory but may need to be set if a

non-standard antenna is used.

Tank Connection Length The Tank Connection Length (TCL) parameter is adjusted for each antenna

type in order to optimize measurement performance. TCL is set automatically

for standard antennas. For non-standard antennas (antenna type User

Defined) the TCL value needs to be manually adjusted.

Empty Tank Handling The Empty Tank Handling functions handle situations when the surface echo

is close to the tank bottom:

• Tracking of weak product echoes

• Handling lost echoes

If the surface echo is lost this function makes the transmitter present a

zero-level measurement, and an alarm is activated unless the alarm has been

blocked.

Empty Tank Detection Area

The Empty Tank Detection Area defines a range within a lower limit of 400

mm and a higher limit of 1000 mm above the tank bottom. If the surface echo

is lost in this region, the tank is considered empty (the device enters Empty

Tank State) and the transmitter presents a zero level reading.

If the tank is empty the transmitter looks in 2 x Empty Tank Detection Area for

the product surface. When a new echo is found it is considered to be the

product surface.

It is important that there are no disturbances in this area. If there are

disturbances they may need to be filtered out.

This function requires that the Bottom Echo Visible function is disabled. The

current Empty Tank Detection Area value is shown in Advanced Setup in

RRM and can be adjusted manually if required, see “Empty Tank Detection

Area” on page D-9.

Bottom Echo Visible

Only set this parameter if the bottom echo is visible. By setting this parameter

the bottom echo will be treated as a disturbance echo to facilitate tracking of

weak surface echoes close to the tank bottom.

Check if the gauge detects the tank bottom when the tank is empty before

activating this function, see “Bottom Echo Visible” on page D-8.

Tank Bottom Projection

This function handles situations close to the tank bottom and may enhance

measurement performance in the tank bottom region. In this region the signal

from the actual tank bottom may in some cases be significantly stronger than

the measurement signal from the product surface.

Extra Echo

Extra Echo Detection is used for tanks with domed or conical bottom types

and when no strong echo from the tank bottom exists when the tank is empty.

When the tank is empty an echo beneath the actual tank bottom can

sometimes be seen, see “Extra Echo Function” on page D-10.

Level Alarm is not set when Tank is Empty

If the echo from the product is lost in an area close to the tank bottom (Empty

Tank Detection Area), the device will enter empty tank state and an alarm is

triggered. Two types of alarms are triggered:

• Invalid Level (can be seen in the Diagnostics window).

• The Analog Output enters Alarm Mode.

Full Tank Handling Full Tank Detection Area

This parameter defines a range where it is accepted to loose the surface

echo. If the echo is lost in this range the tank is considered full (the device

enters Full Tank State) and the device will present max level indication.

When the tank is full the device looks in 2 x Full Tank Detection Area for the

product surface. When a new echo is found in this range it is considered to be

the product surface.

It is important that any disturbances in this area are filtered out.

Level above Hold Off Distance Possible

Enable this function if the level can rise above the Hold Off Distance/UNZ and

you want to display the tank as full in that case. Normally the device will

always be able to track the surface and the product level will never rise that

high. If the checkbox is not enabled and the surface is lost at the top of the

tank the device searches for a surface echo within the whole tank.

Level Alarm is Not Set when Tank is Full

If the surface echo is lost close to the top of the tank, the level value will

normally be displayed as “invalid”. Set this parameter to suppress the “invalid”

display.

NOTE

By setting this parameter the analog output will not enter alarm mode for

invalid levels close to the antenna.

See “Full Tank Handling” on page D-11 for more information.

Double Bounce Some radar waves, after reflection at the surface, are reflected against the

tank roof and back to the surface before they are detected by the transmitter.

Normally, these signals have a low amplitude and are therefore neglected by

the transmitter. For spherical and horizontal cylinder tanks however, in some

cases the amplitude may be strong enough to lead the transmitter to interpret

the double bounce as the surface echo. By setting the Double Bounce

Possible parameter this type of measurement situation can be solved. This

function should only be used if the problem of double bounces can not be

solved by changing the mechanical installation, see “Double Bounce” on

page D-12 for more information.

Surface Echo Tracking Slow Search

This variable controls how to search for the surface if a surface echo is lost.

With this parameter set, the transmitter starts searching for the surface at the

last known level, and gradually increases the width of the search region until

the surface is found. If this variable is not set the transmitter searches through

the whole tank. This parameter may typically be used for tanks with turbulent

conditions.

Slow Search Speed

This parameter indicates how quickly the search region (Slow Search

window) is expanded when the Slow Search function is active.

Double Surface

Indicates that there are two liquids or foam in the tank resulting in two

reflecting surfaces. The upper liquid or foam layer must be partly transparent

to the radar signal.

If this function is activated, you can specify which surface to select by using

the Select Lower Surface parameter.

Upper Product Dielectric Constant

This is the dielectric constant for the upper product if there is a double surface

situation. A more precise value results in better accuracy for the lower surface

level.

Select Lower Surface

This function should only be used if Double Surface is set. If Select Lower

Surface is set the lower surface will be presented as the product surface. If

not set the upper surface is tracked.

Echo Timeout

Use Echo Timeout to define the time in seconds before the transmitter will

start to search for a surface echo after it has been lost. After an echo has

been lost, the transmitter will not start searching, or trigger any alarms, until

this time has elapsed.

Close Distance Window

This parameter defines a window centered at the current surface position in

which new surface echo candidates can be selected. The size of the window

is ±CloseDist. Echoes outside this window will not be considered as surface

echoes. The transmitter will without delay jump to the strongest echo inside

this window. If there are rapid level changes in the tank, the value of the Close

Distance Window could be increased to prevent the transmitter from missing

level changes. On the other hand, a too large value might cause the

transmitter to select an invalid echo as the surface echo.

Rosemount 5400 Series

Filter Settings Damping Value

The Damping Value parameter determines how quickly the transmitter

responds to level changes and how robust the measurement signal is against

noise. Technically, a damping value of 10 means that in 10 seconds the output

from the transmitter is about 63% of the new level value. Consequently, when

there are rapid level changes in the tank, it may be necessary to decrease the

Damping value for the transmitter to be able to track the surface. On the other

hand, in noisy environments, and if level rates are low, it may be better to

increase the damping value to have a stable output signal.

Activate Jump Filter

The Jump Filter is typically used for applications with turbulent surface and

makes the echo tracking work smoother as the level passes for example an

agitator. If the surface echo is lost and a new surface echo is found, the Jump

Filter makes the transmitter wait some time before it jumps to the new echo.

During that time the new echo has to be considered a valid echo.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

IN RRM

Empty Tank Handling Bottom Echo Visible

By enabling the Bottom Echo Visible... parameter the transmitter is able to

separate the product surface from the tank bottom by treating the bottom echo

as a disturbance echo. This is useful for products which are relatively

transparent for microwaves such as oil. For non-transparent products such as

water there is no visible bottom echo until the tank is empty.

To enable this function:

1. Disable the Use Automatic Empty Tank Handling Settings option.

2. Select the Bottom Echo Visible if Tank is Empty check box.

Only use this function for tanks with bottom type Flat where the radar echo

from the tank bottom is clearly visible. If there is no distinct bottom echo even

when the tank is empty this parameter should be disabled. Otherwise, if the

surface echo is temporarily lost, the transmitter starts searching for the

product surface anywhere in the tank and may incorrectly interpret any object

as the surface.

The spectrum function in the RRM program can be used to check if the gauge

detects the tank bottom when the tank is empty.

Empty Tank Detection Area

The tank is considered empty and the product level is presented as equal to

zero if the signal from the product surface is lost within the region given by the

parameter Empty Tank Detection Area.

If the surface is lost above the Empty Tank Detection Area the transmitter

starts searching for the surface in the entire tank.

You may increase the Empty Tank Detection Area if the surface is lost outside

the Empty Tank Detection Area in a non-critical region of the tank.

1. Disable Use Automatic Empty Tank Handling Settings.

2. Type the desired value in the Empty Tank Detection Area input field.

Extra Echo Function

The Extra Echo Detection function makes measurements in the bottom region

more robust for tanks with conical or domed bottom shape. In this case there

is no strong echo from the tank bottom when the tank is empty, and a virtual

echo beneath the actual tank bottom can sometimes be seen.

If the transmitter is not able to detect the tank bottom, this function can be

used to ensure that the transmitter stays in Empty Tank state as long as an

extra echo is present.

Use the spectrum function in Rosemount Radar Master when the tank is

empty to verify if such an echo exists or not. Make sure you enter a distance

that exceeds the tank bottom. In the spectrum you can also view the suitable

values for Extra Echo Min Distance, Extra Echo Max Distance and Extra Echo

Min Amplitude. The tank is considered empty when there is an echo within the

minimum and maximum distance and the amplitude is above the specified

limit.

Full Tank Handling The Full Tank Handling function can be used if you want product levels close

to the antenna to be reported as Full Tank. Normally measurements are not

allowed closer to the antenna than specified by the Hold Off Distance

parameter. If the product level enters the Hold Off Distance region, the

transmitter reports Measurement Error and starts searching for the surface.

By setting the Level above Hold Off Distance possible parameter, the

transmitter reports Full Tank when the product level enters the Hold Off

Distance region. Note that:

• The region in which the tank is considered full is specified by the Full

Tank Detection Area.

• The level alarm for Full Tank is normally disabled.

Double Bounce A double bounce echo is an echo that has been reflected against the tank roof

and down to the surface before it is detected by the transmitter.

Double bounces are most commonly present in spherical or horizontal

cylinder tanks. The tank roof in this case can sometimes amplify the double

bounce echo amplitude. Normally double bounce echoes appear when the

tank is about 60-70% filled. In these cases the double bounce echo can cause

the transmitter to lock onto the wrong echo.

The Double Bounce function is used for managing problems with echoes that

appear in the tank as a result of the tank shape and that are stronger than the

surface echo itself.

The Double Bounce Offset is given by the following formula:

Double Bounce Offset=B - 2*A,

where A is equal to the distance from the Tank Reference Point to the product

surface, and B is equal to the distance from the Tank Reference Point to the

Double Bounce echo. In many cases the Double Bounce Offset is

approximately given by the height of the nozzle.
