RECYCLING/DISPOSAL
Recycling of equipment and packaging should be taken into consideration
and disposed of in accordance with local and national legislation/regulations.
THEORY OF OPERATIONThe Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter is a smart, two-wire
continuous level transmitter based on Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
principles. Low power nano-second-pulses are guided alon g an immersed
probe. When a pulse reaches the surface, part of the energy is reflected back
to the transmitter, and the time difference between the generated and
reflected pulse is converted into a distance, which calculates the total level or
interface level (see below).
Figure 2-1. Measurement
Principle.
The reflectivity of the product is a key parameter for measurement
performance. Media with a high dielectric constant gives better reflection and
a longer measuring range.

APPLICATIONSThe Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Tr ansmitter series is suite d for aggregate
(total) level measurements on most liquids, semi-liquids, solids, and
liquid/liquid interfaces.
Guided microwave technology offers the highest reliability and precision to
ensure measurements are virtually unaffected by temperature, pressure,
vapor gas mixtures, density, turbulence, bubbling/boiling, low level, varying
dielectric media, pH, and viscosity.
Guided wave radar technology in combination with advanced signal
processing makes the Rosemount 5300 transmitters suitable for a wide r ange
of applications:

examples
The Rosemount 5300 transmitter
works well in boiling conditions with
vapor and turbulence. If there are
disturbing objects in the vicinity of the
transmitter, the coaxial probe is
particularly suitable.

ARCHITECTURE
Figure 2-5. HART system
architecture
The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered, and 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
®
or FOUNDATION™
Fieldbus signal.
By using the optional Rosemount 333 HART Tri-loop, the HART signal can
convert up to three additional 4-20 mA analog signals.
With the HART protocol multidrop configuration is possible. In this case,
communication is restricted to digital, since current is fixed to the 4 mA
minimum value.
The transmitter can be connected to a Rosemount 751 Field Signal Indi ca tor,
or it can be equipped with an integral display.
The transmitter can easily be configured using a Rosemount 375 Field
Communicator or a PC with the Rosemount Radar Master software.

PROCESS
CHARACTERISTICS
The Rosemount 5300 Series has high sensitivity because of its advanced
signal processing and high signal to noise ratio. This makes it able to handle
various disturbances, however, the following circumstances should be
considered before mounting the transmitter.
Coating Heavy coating of the probe should be avoided since it may decrease the
sensitivity of the transmitter and lead to measurement errors. In viscous or
sticky applications, periodic cleaning may be required.
For viscous or sticky applications, it is important to choose a suitable probe:
Table 2-3. Probe type guide for
different product viscosity

connection is significantly lower than process temperature with risk of coating in the upper part of
probe that may reduce the measurement signal. Consider using HP or STD probes in such
applications.
(1)(2)
Signal Quality Metrics (SQM) diagnostic option can give an indication of how
good the surface signal is compared to the noise, and when to clean the
probe.
BridgingHeavy product coating results in bridging between the two probes in a twin
lead version, or between the pipe and inner rod for coaxial probes, and may
cause erroneous level readings, so it must be prevented. A single lead probe
is recommended in these situations.
FoamThe Rosemount 5300 Series Radar T ransmitter measurement in foamy
applications depends on the foam properties; light and airy or dense and
heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy, the
transmitter may measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is less
conductive the microwaves may penetrate the foam and measure the liquid
surface.
VaporIn some applications, such as high pressure boiling water, there is a heavy
vapor above the product surface that could influence the level measurement.
The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter can be configured to
compensate for the influence of vapor.
Boiling HydrocarbonsFor products with very low dielectric constants, such as boiling hydrocarbons
and solids, the threshold may need to be lowered, and/or the Probe End
Projection (PEP) function activated.

Rosemount 5300 Series
For measuring interface level, the transmitter uses the residual wave of the
first reflection. Part of the wave, not reflected at the upper product surface,
continues until it is reflected at the lower product surface. The speed of this
wave depends fully on the dielectric constant of the upper product.
To measure interface, the following criteria have to be fulfilled:
•The dielectric constant of the upper prod uct must be known and sho uld
be constant. The Rosemount Radar Master software has a built- in
dielectric constant calculator to assist in determining the dielectric
constant of the upper product. (see “Dielectric Constant/Dielectr ic
Range” on page 5-23)
•The upper product must have a lower dielectr ic constant than the lower
product to have a distinct reflection
•The difference between the dielectric constants for the two products
must be greater than 6
•The maximum dielectric constant for the upper product: 10 for the
coaxial probe, 7 for the twin lead, and 8 for the single lead probes
•The upper product thickness must be greater than 5.1 in. (0.13 m) for
all probes, except the HTHP coaxial probe, which requires 8 in. (0.2 m),
to distinguish the echoes of the two liquids
The maximum allowable upper product thickness/measuring range is
primarily determined by the dielectric constants of the two liquids.
Target applications include interfaces between oil / oil-like and water /
water-like liquids with a low (<3) dielectric constant for the upper product and
a high (>20) dielectric constant for the lower product.
For such applications, the maximum measuring range is limited by the length
of the coaxial, rigid twin, and rigid single lead probes.
For flexible probes, the maximum measuring range is reduced by the
maximum upper product thickness, according to the diagram below . However,
characteristics may vary between the different applicat ion s .

V E SSEL
CHARACTERISTICS
Heating Coils, AgitatorsBecause the radar signal is transmitted along a probe, the Rosemount 5300
Radar transmitter is generally not affected by objects in the tan k. Avoid
physical contact with metallic objects when Twin Lead or Single Lead probes
are used.
Avoid physical contact between probes and agitators, as well as applications
with strong fluid movement, unless the probe is anchored. If the probe is able
to move 1 ft. (30 cm) from any object, such as an agitator, during operation,
the probe tie-down is recommended.
To stabilize the probe for side forces, a weight may be hung at the probe end
(flexible probes only) or fix/guide the probe to the tank bottom.
Tank ShapeThe guided wave radar transmitter is insensitive to tank shape. Since the
radar signal travels along a probe, the shape of the tank bottom has virtually
no effect on the measurement performance. Th e transmitter can handle flat or
dish-bottom tanks.
SAFETY MESSAGESProcedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (). Please
refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation
preceded by this symbol.
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or
serious injury:
Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the
protection provided by the equipment.
Do not perform any services other than those contained in this manual unless you are
qualified.

Make sure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the Process Seal is damaged, gas
might escape from the tank if the transmitter head is removed from the probe.
www.rosemount.com
High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock:
Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an ignition-capable
level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. Therefore, when the
probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures must be
taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.

For single lead probes, avoid 10-in. (250 mm)/DN250 or larger diameter
nozzles, especially in applications with low dielectric constant. An alternative
is to install a smaller nozzle inside the nozzle.
For optimal single lead probe performance in non-metallic (plastic) vessels,
the probe must be mounted with a metal flange, or screwed in to a metal
sheet (d>8 in./200 mm), if the threaded version is used.
Electromagnetic disturbances should be kept to a minimum since they may

Considerations for Solid
Applications
The flexible single lead probe is recommended for solids and is available in
two versions to handle different loads and lengths:
•0.16 in. (4 mm) diameter
Tensile strength is minimum 2698 lb (12 kN)
Collapse load is maximum 3597 lb (16 kN)
•0.24 in. (6 mm) diameter
Tensile strength is minimum 6519 lb (29 kN)
Collapse load is maximum 7868 lb (35 kN)
Keep the following in mind when planning installation of the Rosemount 5300
in solid applications:
•There might be considerable down-pull forces on silo roofs caused by
the media, so the silo roof must withstand the maximum probe tensile
load
•The tensile load depends on silo size, material density, and the friction
coefficient. Forces increase with the buried length, the silo, and probe
diameter
•In critical cases, such as for products with a risk for build-up, use a 0.24
in. (6 mm) probe
•Depending on position, forces on probes are two to ten times greater
on probes with tie-down, than on probes with ballast weights
Guidelines for the tensile load from free-flowing solids acting on a suspended
probe without any tie-down or weight in a smooth metallic wall silo as shown
in Table 3-2. A safety factor of 2 is included for the figures. Consult your local
Emerson Process Management representative for more information.

For environments where electrost atic discharge s (p lastics) ar e li ke ly to occur,
it is recommended that the probe end is grounded.
Mounting in Chamber/
Still Pipe
The chamber is also known as bridle, side pipe, bypass pipe, and cage.
Dimensioning the chamber correctly and selecting the appropriate probe is
key to the success in these applications.
To prevent the probe from contacting the wall, centering discs are available
for the Rigid Single, Flexible Single, and Flexible Twin Lead Probes. The disc
is attached to the end of the probe, and thus keeps the probe centered in the
chamber. See also “Mou nting a Centering Disc for Pipe Installations“ on

It is recommended that single probes are used with the Rosemount 5300
Series. Other probe types are more susceptible to build-up and are not
recommended.
(1)
An exception is with liquefied gas > 40 bar when the coaxial
probe should be used.
The probe must not touch the chamber wall, should extend the full height of
the chamber, but not touch the bottom of the chamber. Probe type selection
depends on probe length:
Less than 14.7 ft (4.5 m): Rigid Single Probe is recommended. Use a
centering disc for a probe > 3.3 ft. (1 m). If installation requires less
head-space, use a Flexible Single Probe with a weight and centering disc.
(2)
More than 14.7 ft (4.5 m): Use Flexible Single Probe with a weight and
centering disc.
(1) The single probe creates a virtual coaxial probe with the chamber as the outer tube. The
extra gain provided by the twin and coaxial probes is not necessary; the electronics in the
Rosemount 5300 Series is very sensitive and is not a limiting factor.
(2) The transition zones and the height of the weight limit the use of single flexible probes
shorter than 3 ft. (1 m). If using the flexible probe, the short weight is recommended.

For hot applications, the chamber should always be insulated to prevent
personal injuries and to reduce the amount o f energy needed for heating . See
Figure 3-6. It is often an advantage, and sometimes even required, for the
radar measurement:
•In hot applications, insulation reduces the amount of condensation,
since it prevents the upper part of the chamber from becoming a cold
spot
•Insulation prevents product solidification inside the chamber, and
clogging of the inlet-pipes
See page 3-14 for more information.
When mounting in a Rosemount 9901 chamber, the probe length to use can
be calculated with these formulas:
Side-and-Side dimension: Probe length = Centre-to-Centre dimension +
The formulas are not valid when using Dynamic Vapor Compensation probes.

Replacing a Displacer in
an Existing Displacer
Chamber
A Rosemount 5300 Series transmitter is the perfect replacement for an
existing displacer chamber. To simplify installation, proprietary flanges are
offered to allow for using the same chambers.
Rosemount 5300 benefits
•No moving parts: Less maintenance - dramatically reduce d cos ts, and
as a result, improved measurement availability
•Reliable measurement, that is independent of density, turbulence, and
vibrations
Considerations when changing to Rosemount 5300
When changing from a displacer to a Rosemount 5300 Series transmitter,
make sure to correctly match the 5300 Series flange choice and probe length
to the chamber. Both standard ANSI and EN (DIN), as well as proprietary
chamber flanges are available.

Position for Liquids
Figure 3-8. Mounting Position
Tank conditions are recommended to be carefully considered when finding
the appropriate mounting position for the transmitter. The transmitter should
be mounted so the influence of disturbing objects is reduced to a minimum.
In case of turbulence, the probe may need to be anchored to the bottom. See
“Anchoring“ on page 3-22 for more information.
When mounting the transmitter the following guidelines should be considered :
•Do not mount close to inlet pipes
•Do not mount close to agitators. If the probe can move to within 30 cm
away from an agitator, a probe tie-down is recommended
•If the probe tends to sway from the turbulent conditions in the tank, the
probe should be anchored to the tank bottom
•Avoid mounting near heating coils
•The nozzle should not extend into the tank
•The probe should not come into contact with the nozzle or other object s
in the tank
•Position the probe so it is subject to a minimum of lateral force
NOTE!
Violent fluid movements can cause forces that could break rig id probes.

Recommended Mounting
for Solids
Rosemount 5300 Series
Consider the following guidelines when mounting the transmitter:
•Do not mount near inlet pipes in order to avoid product filling on the
probe
•Regularly check the probe for defects
•It is recommended that the vessel be empty during installation
•For concrete vessels, the distance (L) between the probe and the wall
should be at least 20 in. (500 mm)
•Stabilize the probe for side forces, by attaching the probe to the tank
bottom.
For solids, use the 0.24 in. (6 mm) probe, because of the higher tensile
strength. The probe should have a sag of
prevent probe damage. See “Anchoring“ on page 3-22 for more
information
•Avoid anchoring in solids tanks over 98 ft (30 m) in height since tensile
loads are much stronger for anchored probes, see “Considerations for
Solid Applications“ on page 3-6
•Product build-up on the silo walls near the probe may interfere with
measurements. Choose a mounting position where the probe is not in
contact with, or close to, the product build-up

To prevent the probe from contacting the bridle wall when replacing displacers
or installing in pipes, centering discs are available for rigid single, flexible
single, and flexible twin lead probes. The disc is attached to the end of the
probe and thus keeps the probe centere d in the br idle. The discs a re ma de of
stainless steel, Alloy C-276, or PTFE.
When mounting a centering disc, it is important that it fits correctly in the pipe.

Mounting a Centering Disc on Rigid Single Probes
The mounting of a centering disc on a rigid single lead probe requires one
hole (8 mm probe) or two holes (13 mm probe) at certain distances from the
end of the lead. The drilling fixture included in your shipment should be used
to make the hole(s) according to Figure 3-14.

To avoid bending the probe (rigid probes), or twisting and coming into contact
with the chamber wall (flexible probes), a small clearance distance between
centering disk and chamber bottom is recommend ed. The clea rance dist ance
of 1 in. (25 mm) is selected with a dome shaped chamber bottom in mind,
which may prevent the centering disk from reaching the bottom.

CABLE/CONDUIT
ENTRIES
The electronics housing has two entries for ½ - 14 NPT. Optional M20×1.5,
minifast and eurofast adapters are also available. The connections are made
in accordance with local or plant electrical codes.
Make sure that unused ports are properly sealed to prevent moisture or other
contamination from entering the terminal block comp artment of the electronics
housing.
NOTE!
Use the enclosed metal plug to seal the unused port. The orange plasti c plugs
mounted at delivery are not sufficient as seal!
GROUNDINGThe housing should always be grounded in accordance with national and
local electrical codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by
the equipment. The most effective grounding method is direct connection to
earth ground with minimal impedance. There are two grounding screw
connections provided. One is inside the Field Terminal side of the housing
and the other is located on 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 Explosion-proof/Flameproof version, the electronics is gro unded 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 SELECTIONUse shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5300 Seri es to comply
with EMC regulations. The cables must be suitable for the supply voltage and
approved for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. For instance, in the
U.S., explosion-proof conduits must be used in the vicinity of the vessel. For
the ATEX flameproof and the IECEx approval versions of the Rosemount
5300 Series, suitable conduits with sealin g device or flameproof (EEx d) cable
glands must be used depending on local requirements.
Use 18 AWG to 12 AWG to minimize the voltage drop to the transmitter.
HAZARDOUS AREASWhen the Rosemount 5300 transmitter is installed in a hazardous area, local
regulations and specifications in applicable certificates must be observed.

OVERVIEWThe configuration of a Rosemount 5300 transmitter is normally a simple and
straight-forward task. The complete configuration of a Rosemount 5300
transmitter includes Basic Configuration, Echo Tuning and Advanced
Configuration. This section describes Basic Configuration.
If the transmitter is pre-configured at the factory according to the ordering
specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further Basic Configuration
is required unless tank conditions have changed. The Rosemount 53 00
Series supports a set of advanced configuration op tions as well, which can be
used to handle special tank conditions and applications.
Basic ConfigurationThe 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 TuningAmplitude thresholds can be adjusted in order to handle special situations
when, for example, objects in the tank cause disturbing echoes that are
stronger than the surface echo. A useful function is the so called Amplitude
Threshold Curve (ATC) which lets you filter out single disturbing echoes. See
Section 7: Service and Troubleshooting, and Appendix C: Advanced
Configuration for more information.
LCD ConfigurationIt is possible to specify the variables to be presented on the Display Panel.
See also Section 6: Operation.
Advanced ConfigurationFor some applications, further device specific configuration is needed in
addition to the Basic Configuration. This may be due to product properties or
tank shape. See Appendix C: Advanced Configuration for more information.
Configuration ToolsThere are several tools available for the configuration of a Rosemo unt 5300
transmitter:
•Rosemount Radar Master (RRM). Note that RRM is recommended for
advanced configuration features.
See “Basic Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master” on
page 5-13 for information on how to use RRM for configuration of the
5300 Series
•Rosemount 375 Field Communicator.
See “Basic Configuration Using a 375 Field Communi cato r” on
page 5-11 for the Field Communicator Menu Tree
•AMS Suite software (for HART). See “Basic Configuratio n Using AMS
Suite (HART)” on page 5-30
•DeltaV (only for Foundation Fieldbus). See “Basic Configuration Using
DeltaV” on page 5-31
•Other tools that support Electronic Device Description Language
(EDDL) functionality

BASIC CONFIGURATION
PARAMETERS
This section describes basic configuration parameters for a Rosemo unt 530 0
transmitter. Basic configuration is only needed for the 5300 Series
transmitters which are not pre-configured at the factory. Factory configuration
is normally specified in the Configuration Data Sheet.

For the different tank co nnections the Up per Reference Point is loca ted at the
underside of the threaded adapter or at the underside of the welde d flange, as
illustrated in Figure 5-2:

July 2009
Rosemount 5300 Series
Tank Height
The Tank Height is defined as the distance from the Upper Reference Point to
the Lower Reference Point. The transmitter measures the distance to the
product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine
the product level. The Lower Reference Point can be set to any position in the
tank simply by adjusting the Tank Height.
Mounting Type
Enter the type of mounting for the device. This configuration optimizes the
device for the respective mounting type.
•Unknown – default factory setting for mounting type, and can also be
used if the mounting type is unknown
•Pipe/Chamber – select this option if the device is mounted on a
chamber/bridle or in a pipe. When selecting this alternative enter the
corresponding Inner Diameter as well
•Nozzle – select this if the device is installed on a nozzle. When
selecting this alternative, configure the Inner Diameter and the Nozzle
Height as well
•Direct/Bracket – when the device is mounted directly on the tank roof
with no traditional nozzle, this is the alternative to use. With this
selection no inner diameter or height is required, thus those selections
are disabled
Inner Diameter
Using with pipe, chamber - and nozzle installations.
Nozzle Height
For nozzle installations.
Probe Length
The probe length is the distance betwee n the Upper Reference Point and the
end of the probe. If a weight is used at the end of the probe, it should not be
included.
For Flexible Single Lead probes anchored with clamps, the probe length
should be configured as the distance between the underside of the flange and
the upper clamp (see “Anchoring” on page 3-22).
This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. It must be changed if the
probe is shortened.
Probe Type
The transmitter is designed to optimize measurement performance for each
probe type.
This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. This value needs to be
changed if the probe type is changed.
5-5
Rosemount 5300 Series
Hold Off/Upper Null Zone
This parameter should only be chang ed if there are measuremen t problems in
the upper part of the tank. Such problems may occur if there are disturbing
objects, such as a narrow nozzle with rough walls, close to the probe. By
adjusting the Hold Off/Upper Null Zone, the measuring range is reduced. See
“Handling of Disturbances from Nozzle” on page C-4 for further information.
Tank EnvironmentMeasurement Mode
Normally, the Measurement Mode does not need to be changed. The
transmitter is pre-configured according to the specified model:

Submerged is used for applications where the probe is fully submerged in
liquid. In this mode, the transmitter ignores the upper product level. See
“Interface Measurements with Fully Submerged Probes” on page 7-15” for
more information.
NOTE!
Only use Submerged for applications where the interface is measured with a
fully submerged probe.
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
Rosemount 5300 transmitter is able to track level changes of up to
1.5 in./s (40 mm/s). When the Rapid Level Changes check box is marked, the
transmitter can track level changes of up to 8 in./s (200 mm/s).
The Rapid Level Changes check-box should not be used in normal conditions
when the product surface moves slowly.
Dielectric Constant
For interface measurements, the dielectric constant of the upper product is
essential to obtain good accuracy. See “Interface” on page 2-12 for further
information on dielectric constants. If the dielectric constant of the lower
product is significantly smaller than the dielectric constan t of water, you may
need to make special adjustments, see Appendix C: Advanced Configuration
for further information.
5-6
For level measurements, the Upper Product Dielectric parameter
corresponds to the actual dielectric constant of the product in the tank.
Reference Manual
Actual tank bottom may look like this.
Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume profile
that is more angular than the actual shape.
Using 10-15 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a
level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom.
00809-0100-4530, Rev BA
July 2009
Rosemount 5300 Series
Normally, this parameter does not need to be changed even if the actual
dielectric constant of the product deviates from the Upper Product Dielectric
parameter value. However, for some products, measurement performance
can be optimized by setting the proper product dielectric constant.
Volume ConfigurationFor volume calculations, you can choose one of the standard tank shapes or
the strapping option. Choose None if volume calculation is not used. For the
standard tanks, a Volume Offset parameter can be specified which can be
used for a non-zero volume that corresponds to the zero level. This may be
useful, for example, if the user want s to includ e the product volume below the
zero level.

General Information
4. Enter Device Information
HART command: [2, 2, 1].
This window lets the user enter Tag, Message, Descriptor, and Date. The
information is not required for the operation of the transmitter and can be
left out if desired.
Check that the correct Probe Type is chosen. Normally, the Probe Type is
pre-configured at the factory, but if the current configuration does not match
the actual probe, choose the correct Probe Type from the list.
The Rosemount 5300 Series transmitter automatically makes some initial
calibrations based on the chosen Probe Type. The following Probe Types are
available:
•Rigid Twin
•Flexible Twin
•Coaxial, Coaxial HP, Coaxial HTHP
•Rigid Single, Rigid Single HTHP/HP/C, Rigid Single PTFE
•Flexible Single, Flexible Single HTHP/HP/C, Flexible Single PTFE
The Probe Length is the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the end
of the probe, see Figure 5-1. If the probe is anchored to a weight, do not
include the height of the weight. The Probe Length needs to be changed if, for
example, the probe is shortened.
The Hold Off Distance/Upper Null Zone (UNZ) should not be changed
unless there are disturbances at the top of the tank. By increasing the Upper
Null Zone, measurements in this region are avoided. See “Handling of Disturbances from Nozzle” on page C-4 for more information on how to use
the UNZ. The UNZ is set to zero in the factory configuration.
Tank Height is the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the Lower
Reference Point (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-4 and Figure 5-2 on page 5-4).
The Upper Reference Point is located at the bottom part of the threaded
adapter, or at the underside of the welded flange.
Make sure the Tank Height is as accurate as possible, since a Tank Height
error results in a corresponding Level value offset error.
When specifying the Tank Height, keep in mind that this value is used for all
level and volume measurements performed by the Rosemount 5300 Series
transmitter.
The Tank Height must be set in linear (level) units, such as feet or meters,
regardless of primary variable assignment.
Select the Mounting Type used.
Select Inner Diameter if using pipe, chamber or nozzle.
Normally, the Measurement Mode does not need to be changed. The
transmitter is pre-configured according to the specified model. See “Basic
Configuration Parameters” on page 5-4 for more information.
Process Conditions
Select the Rapid Level Changes check-box only if the surface is moving
quickly up or down at rates over 1.5 in./s (40 mm/s).
Dielectric Constant/Dielectric Range
The dielectric constant of the product is used for setting the appropriate signal
amplitude thresholds, see Section 7: Service and Troubleshooting for more
information on amplitude threshold settings. Normally, this parameter does
not need to be changed for level measurements. However, for some products,
measurement performance can be optimized by setting the proper product
dielectric constant.
For Interface Level measurements, the dielectric constant of the upper
product is essential for calculating interface level and the upper product
thickness. By default, the Upper Product Dielectric parameter is about 2.
Set the Upper Product Dielectric Constant to a value that corresponds to
the current product.

constant of the current product:

methods:
- Choose the View>Dielectric Constant Chart menu option
- Click the Dielectric Chart button in the Configuration Wizard - Environment window
- Choose the Setup>Tank menu option and click the Dielectric Chart
button in the Tank/Environment window
of the Upper Product based on the following input:
- actual upper product thickness,
- the dielectric constant value stored in the transmitter, and
- the upper product thickness presented by the transmitter.
The Dielectric Calculator is available via the Dielectric Calculator
button in the Configuration Wizard - Environment window or the
Tank/Environment window.
To use volume calculation, choose a pre-defined calculation method based on
the tank shape that best corresponds to the actual tank. See “Volume
Configuration” on page 5-7.
Use the Strapping Table option if the actual tank does not match any of the
available options for pre-defined tanks, or if higher calculation accuracy is
desired.
Choose None if volume calculation is not desired at all.
The following standard tank shapes are available:
•Vertical Cylinder
•Horizontal Cylinder
•Vertical Bullet
•Horizontal Bullet
•Sphere
•None
The following parameters must be entered for a standard tank shape:
•Tank diameter
•Tank height/length (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 a volume below
the zero level)
