Specific ETSI Requirements (Europe)
The Rosemount 5900S is required to be installed at a permanent fixed position at a closed
(not open) metallic tank or reinforced concrete tank, or similar enclosure structure made of
comparable attenuating material. Flanges and attachments of the Rosemount 5900S
equipment shall provide the necessary microwave sealing by design.
Manholes or connection flanges at the tank shall be closed to ensure a low-level leakage of
the signal into the air outside the tank.
Installation and maintenance of the Rosemount 5900S equipment shall be performed by
professionally trained individuals only.
Specific FCC Requirements (USA)
Rosemount 5900S generates and uses radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer´s instructions, it may violate
FCC regulations on radio frequency emission.
Rosemount TankRadar 5900S has been FCC certified under test conditions which assume
a metallic tank.
Specific IC Requirements (Canada)
Radio approvals for this device apply for installation in complete enclosed container to
prevent unwanted RF emission. In open air application site license is required. Installation
shall be done by trained installers, in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The use of this device is on a "no-interference, no-protection" basis. That is, the user shall
accept operations of high-powered radar in the same frequency band which may interfere
with or damage this device. Devices found to interfere with primary licensing operations will
be required to be removed at the user's expense.
Low Emission of Microwave Radiation
The microwave radiation emitted by a Rosemount 5900S radar level gauge is very low
compared to limits given by the Rec. 1999/519/EC (much less than 0.1 mW). No additional
safety measures are needed.

2.1 INTRODUCTION The Rosemount 5900S is a two-wire radar level gauge for high accuracy
non-contact measurements. The level gauge continuously emits a radar
signal with varying frequency towards the product surface. This allows very
accurate level measurements by processing the difference between the
frequencies of the emitted and received radar signals.
The Rosemount 5900S is an integral part of the flexible Raptor system. The
advanced and robust design makes it suitable for a vast range of applications.
It is designed for high accuracy level measurements as well as handling
complex tank shapes and obstacles in the tank that may interfere with
measurement signals.

2.4 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Raptor is a state-of-the art inventory and custody transfer radar tank level
gauging system. It is developed for a wide range of applications at refineries,
tank farms and fuel depots, and fulfills the highest requirements on
performance and safety.
The field devices on the tank communicate over the intrinsically safe
Tankbus. The Tankbus is based on a standardized fieldbus, the FISCO
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, and allows integration of any device supporting that
protocol. By utilizing a bus powered 2-wire intrinsically safe fieldbus the power
consumption is minimized. The standardized fieldbus also enables integration
of other vendors’ equipment on the tank.
The Raptor product portfolio includes a wide range of components to build
small or large customized tank gauging systems. The system includes various
devices, such as radar level gauges, temperature transmitters, and pressure
transmitters for complete inventory control. Such systems are easily
expanded thanks to the modular design.
Raptor is a versatile system that is compatible with and can emulate all major
tank gauging systems. Moreover, the well-proven emulation capability
enables step-by-step modernization of a tank farm, from level gauges to
control room solutions.
It is possible to replace old mechanical or servo gauges with modern Raptor
gauges, without replacing the control system or field cabling. It is further
possible to replace old HMI/SCADA-systems and field communication
devices without replacing the old gauges.
(1)
There is a distributed intelligence in the various system units which
continuously collect and process measurement data and status information.
When a request for information is received an immediate response is sent
with updated information.
The flexible Raptor system supports several combinations to achieve
redundancy, from control room to the different field devices. Redundant
network configuration can be achieved at all levels by doubling each unit and
using multiple control room work stations.

2.5 ANTENNAS
Rosemount 5900S Series
The Rosemount 5900S with Horn Antenna is
designed for an 8 inch antenna to be used in small
size openings on fixed roofs tanks.
The 5900S is designed for measurements of a
variety of oil products and chemicals. However, for
bitumen/asphalt and similar products the Parabolic
antenna is recommended.
The Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna
measures level of all types of liquids, from light
products to bitumen/asphalt. The gauge is designed
for mounting on tanks with fixed roofs and has
custody transfer accuracy.
The design of the parabolic antenna provides
extreme tolerance against sticky and condensing
products. The narrow beam of this antenna makes it
very suitable in narrow tanks with internal structures.
The Rosemount 5900S with Still-pipe Array
Antenna is used on tanks with still pipes and with all
products suited for still pipes.
The gauge uses a low-loss radar propagation mode
which virtually eliminates the influence of the still pipe
condition. Measurement is made with highest
accuracy even when the pipe is old, rusty and
covered with deposits.
The Still-pipe Array Antenna fits 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12
inch pipes. It can be mounted on an existing still pipe
and there is no need to take the tank out of operation
during installation.
Section 2. Overview
There are two versions of the 5900S with Still-pipe
Array Antenna: fixed and hinged hatch. The hinged
hatch enables full pipe size product sampling or
verification hand-dips.

a 4° inclination and the other is horizontal. See installation drawing for flange
dimensions.
The horizontal flange can be used if the wall does not intrude into the 30°
wide radar beam from the Horn Antenna. If a vertical antenna axis installation
is not possible without the tank wall intruding into the radar beam, the 5900S
has to be directed away from the wall by using the 4° flange. The inclination is
necessary to ensure maximum accuracy.

3.2.2 Parabolic Antenna Requirements
Figure 3-3. Maximum inclination
with Parabolic Antenna
Inclination
The inclination of the Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna should not
exceed 1.5 ° towards the center of the tank. For products with high
condensation such as bitumen/asphalt applications, the radar beam should
be directed vertically without any inclination.
Maximum inclination 1.5°
Flange Requirements
The Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna is mounted on the tank nozzle
by using the Flange Ball. It is designed for easy adjustment of gauge
inclination within the specified limits.
There are two versions of the Flange Ball. One that is clamped to the flange
by using a nut, and another one which is welded to the flange.
The Flange Ball has to be mounted on the flange prior to mounting the gauge
on the tank nozzle.
The flange needs to fulfill certain requirements in order to ensure that the
radar beam is not disturbed by the tank wall. This allows the radar signal to be
reflected on the product surface and transmitted back to the level gauge at a
maximum signal strength.
The tank flange has to meet the following inclination requirements (see
Figure 3-4) in order to allow proper adjustment of the antenna:
• maximum 4.5° away from the tank wall
• maximum of 2° towards the tank wall

3.2.4 LPG/LNG Antenna Requirements
Temperature and Pressure Measurement
Measurements of temperature and pressure is a prerequisite for high
accuracy level measurements in LPG/LNG tanks. A Raptor system may
include 5900S Radar Level Gauges, 2240S Multi-input Temperature
Transmitters, 644 Temperature Transmitters as well as pressure transmitters
in order to obtain all necessary measurement variables.
Still-pipe and Verification Pin
A still-pipe must be installed prior to the gauge installation. The still-pipe is
customer supplied and should be manufactured according to the installation
drawings.
Three types of steel pipe are recommended:
• DN100
• 4 inch SCH 10 stainless steel pipe
• 4 inch SCH 40 stainless steel pipe
When ordering the level gauge specify the pipe type in the Required System
Information (RSI) form.
The still-pipe must be vertical within ±0.5° and the customer flange must be
horizontal within ±1° as illustrated in Figure 3-11 on page 3-14.
The still-pipe is manufactured with a number of holes to allow proper
circulation of the product, and to ensure equalization of product density inside
and outside the pipe. The hole diameter should be 20 mm or 3/4”. All holes in
the upper still-pipe section must be placed along a line on one side of the
pipe.
The Verification Pin allows you to verify 5900S level measurements when
the tank is pressurized. It is mounted on the still-pipe in a hole oriented 90
degrees to the other holes.
The Verification Pin should be placed at a position of 1200 mm below the
flange as illustrated in Figure 3-11 on page 3-14. There must be a minimum
distance of 200 mm between the Verification Pin and the maximum product
level. In order to fulfill this requirement, the Verification Pin may be mounted
higher, up to 1000 mm below the flange.
The Verification Pin must be aligned with a bolt hole on the still-pipe flange as
illustrated in Figure 3-11. The Verification Pin’s position must be clearly
marked on the still-pipe flange (see Figure 3-11) to allow proper alignment of
the 5900S gauge.
See installation drawing 9240 041-910 for LPG/LNG Still-pipe for information
on how to install the Verification Pin on the still-pipe. Installation instructions
are enclosed with the Verification Pin and Deflection Plate.
See “LPG Configuration” on page 4-20 and the Raptor System Configuration
Manual, Document No. 300510EN for further information on how to configure
the 5900S for LPG/LNG measurements.

3.4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Rosemount 5900S Series
3.4.1 Cable/conduit entries
Figure 3-17. Cable entry with
NPT threaded gland
The electronics housing has two entries for ½ - 14 NPT. Optional M20×1.5,
minifast and eurofast adapters are also available. The connections must be
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 compartment of the electronics
housing.
NOTE!
Use the enclosed metal plugs to seal unused ports. The plastic plugs
mounted at delivery are not sufficient as seal!
NOTE!
It is recommended that a sealant of type PTFE is used to prevent water
ingress and to enable future removal of the plug/gland.
NPT is a standard for tapered threads. Engage the gland with 5 to 6 threads.
Note that there will be a number of threads left outside the housing as
illustrated below.
The NPT threaded gland leaves a
number of threads outside the housing
Ensure that glands for the cable entries meet requirements for IP class 66 and
67.
3.4.2 Grounding The 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 three grounding screw
connections provided. Two are located inside the terminal compartment of the
housing and the third is located on the housing. The internal ground screws
are identified by a ground symbol: .
NOTE!
Grounding the transmitter via threaded conduit connection may not provide
sufficient ground.
Grounding - Foundation Fieldbus
Signal wiring of the fieldbus segment can not be grounded. Grounding out
one of the signal wires may shut down the entire fieldbus segment.
Section 3. Installation
3-41
Page 70
Rosemount 5900S Series
Reference Manual
00809-0100-5900, Rev CA
June 2014
Shield Wire Ground
To protect the fieldbus segment from noise, grounding techniques for shield
wire usually require a single grounding point for shield wire to avoid creating a
ground loop. The ground point shall be located at the power supply.
The Raptor devices designed for “daisy-chain” connection offer an isolated
shield loop-through terminal in order to enable a continuous shield throughout
the Tankbus network.
In order to avoid unintentional grounding points, the cable shield inside the
terminal compartment must be isolated.
3.4.3 Cable Selection Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5900S Series in order to
comply with FISCO
(1)
requirements and EMC regulations. The preferred cable
is referred to as type “A” fieldbus cable. The cables must be suitable for the
supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. In
the U.S. explosion-proof conduits may be used in the vicinity of the vessel.
We recommend cable size 1.0 mm2 or 18 AWG in order to facilitate wiring.
However, cables within the range 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 or 20 to 16 AWG can be
used.
The FISCO FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification requires that cables for the
Raptor Tankbus comply with the following cable parameters:
Table 3-5. FISCO cable
parameters
Parameter Value
Loop resistance 15/km to 150/km
Loop inductance 0.4 mH/km to 1 mH/km
Capacitance 45 nF/km to 200 nF/km
Maximum length of each spur cable 60 m in apparatus class IIC and IIB
Maximum cable length including trunk and
spurs
1000 m in apparatus class IIC and 1900 m in
apparatus class IIB
3.4.4 Hazardous Areas When the Rosemount 5900S level gauge is installed in hazardous areas,
local regulations and specifications in applicable certificates must be
observed.
3.4.5 Power Requirements
The Rosemount 5900S is powered over the intrinsically safe Tankbus by the
Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub. The 2410 feeds the intrinsically safe fieldbus
segment by acting as a FISCO power supply on the Tankbus.
When installed in a FOUNDATION Fieldbus system without a 2410 Tank Hub,
the 5900S is powered by the FF segment.
3.4.6 Power Budget The Rosemount 5900S power consumption is 50 mA for standard devices
and 100 mA for the 2-in-1 versions. This has to be considered when
connecting field devices to the Tankbus. See section “Power Budget” in the
Rosemount 2410 Reference Manual (Document No. 300530EN) for more
information.
(1) See IEC 61158-2 and IEC/TS 60079-27:2002.

Rosemount 5900S Series
3.4.7 The Raptor Tankbus
The Raptor system is easy to install and wire. Devices can be “daisy-chained”
thus reducing the number of external junction boxes.
In a Raptor system devices communicate with a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub
via the intrinsically safe Tankbus. The Tankbus complies with the FISCO
(1)
FOUNDATION fieldbus standard. The Rosemount 2410 acts as power supply to
the field devices on the Tankbus. A FISCO system enables more field devices
to be connected to the segment compared to conventional IS systems based
on the entity concept.
Termination
A terminator is needed at each end of a FOUNDATION Fieldbus network.
Generally, one terminator is placed in the fieldbus power supply, and the other
one in the last device in the fieldbus network.
NOTE!
Ensure that there are two terminators on the fieldbus.
In a Raptor system the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub acts as power supply.
Since the 2410 normally is the first device in the fieldbus segment, the built-in
termination is enabled at factory
Other Raptor devices such as the standard version of the Rosemount 5900S
Radar Level Gauge, the Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display, and the
Rosemount 2240S Multi-input Temperature Transmitter also have built-in
terminators which can easily be enabled by inserting a jumper in the terminal
block when necessary.
Segment design
When designing a FISCO fieldbus segment a few requirements need to be
considered. Cabling has to comply with FISCO requirements as described in
“Cable Selection” on page 3-42.
You will also have to ensure that the total operating current of the connected
field devices is within the output capability of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
The 2410 is able to deliver 250
(2)
mA. Consequently, the number of field
devices has to be considered so that the total current consumption is less
than 250 mA, see “Power Budget” on page 3-42.
Another requirement is to ensure that all field devices have at least 9 V input
voltage at their terminals. Therefore you will have to take into account the
voltage drop in the fieldbus cables.
Distances are normally quite short between the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub
and field devices on the tank. In many cases you can use existing cables as
long as the FISCO requirements are fulfilled (see “Cable Selection” on
page 3-42).
See chapter “The Raptor Tankbus” in the Rosemount 2410 Reference
Manual (Document no. 305030EN) for more information on segment design
of a Raptor system.

Figure 3-18. Example of a
Tankbus connection for a single
tank
The example below (Figure 3-18) illustrates a system with daisy-chained field
devices on a single tank. Terminators are installed at both ends of the fieldbus
segment as required in a FOUNDATION fieldbus system. In this case
terminators are enabled in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and a field device
at the end of the network segment.
In addition to the field instruments on the Tankbus, Figure 3-18 illustrates how
an instrument such as a pressure transmitter can be connected to the
intrinsically safe 4 -20 mA analog input of the 2410 Tank Hub.

Radar Level Gauge connected to a Rosemount 2240S Multi-input
Temperature Transmitter. In this example the termination is enabled in the
2240S transmitter which is the last device on the Tankbus (see “The Raptor
Tankbus” on page 3-43).
In case you prefer to connect the 2240S to the 2410 Tank Hub, you may
“daisy-chain” the 5900S to the 2240S, and terminate the Tankbus by a jumper
in terminal X2 on the 5900S terminal block.

Rosemount 5900S Series
4.2 OVERVIEW The 5900S can be installed in Rosemount Tank Gauging systems including
2160 Field Communication Units and Rosemount 2410 Tank Hubs. The
5900S also supports installation in FOUNDATION fieldbus systems. Installation
of the 5900S is a simple and straight-forward procedure. In a Rosemount
Tank Gauging system with 2410 Tank Hub and 2160 Field Communication
Unit it basically includes the following steps:
1. Preparations: make a note of Unit ID, Modbus address
tank geometry parameters such as tank height, tank type, strapping table
2. Set up communication protocol and communication parameters.
3. Configuration of the Rosemount 2160 Field Communication Unit.
4. Configuration of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
5. Configuration of field devices such as the Rosemount 5900S Radar
Level Gauge and 2240S Multiple-Input Temperature Transmitter.
6. Calibration of the 5900S level gauge.
Installation of the 5900S in FOUNDATION fieldbus systems is supported by a
complete set of Resource, Function, and Transducer blocks. You can easily
integrate the 5900S level gauge into any existing FOUNDATION fieldbus
network by using an appropriate configuration tool such as the AMD Device
Manager. See section “FOUNDATION Fieldbus Overview” on page 4-34 for
more information.

, antenna type,
The TankMaster WinSetup program is the recommended tool for installation
and configuration of a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge in systems that
include the 2410 Tank Hub. The 5900S is preferably installed as part of the
procedure when installing a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
This is the standard procedure for installing a 5900S Radar Level Gauge:
1. Start by installing and configuring the 2410 Tank Hub by using the device
installation wizard in TankMaster WinSetup.
2. Finish the 2410 installation procedure. Ensure that automatic installation
of field devices is enabled. The 2410 Tank Hub, the 5900S Level Gauge,
and other field devices on the Tankbus will automatically appear in the
WinSetup workspace.
3. Configure the 5900S level gauge via the Properties window.
If a 5900S is added to an existing system the Rosemount 2410 tank database
must be updated before the 5900S is configured. The tank database maps
the 5900S to the tank on which it is installed.
A detailed description of how to install and configure a Rosemount 5900S and
other devices by using the TankMaster WinSetup software is provided in the
Raptor System Configuration manual (Document no. 300510EN).
NOTE!
If the system contains a 2160 Field Communication Unit (FCU) it should be
installed and configured before other devices such as level gauges and
temperature multiplexers.
Section 4. Configuration

4.3 CONFIGURATION USING ROSEMOUNT TANKMASTER
4.3.1 Installation
Wizard
For a Rosemount Tank Gauging system that includes the Rosemount 2410
Tank Hub it is recommended that the Rosemount 5900S is configured by
using the TankMaster Winsetup configuration tool. In such a system the host
computer communicates with the 2410 Tank Hub via TRL2 Modbus or RS485
Modbus. By using the TankMaster Winsetup configuration tool, installation
and configuration of the Rosemount 5900S can be performed by any of the
following methods:
• as part of the installation and configuration procedure of a Rosemount
2410 Tank Hub (recommended)
• by using the TankMaster installation wizard
A Rosemount 5900S is typically installed as part of the installation procedure
when installing a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub in TankMaster WinSetup. Then
the 5900S appears in the WinSetup workspace and is configured in a
separate stage via the Properties window.
See the Raptor System Configuration Manual (Document no. 300510EN) for
more information on using the TankMaster WinSetup program to configure a
Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge.
The WinSetup installation wizard is a tool that facilitates installation and
configuration of Rosemount 5900S and other devices. This may be useful in
case the 5900S was not installed as part of the 2410 installation procedure.
See the Raptor System Configuration Manual (Document no. 300510EN) for
more information.
The 5900S may also be installed by using the TankMaster WinSetup
installation wizard.
NOTE!
In case the Rosemount 5900S level gauge was installed “offline” via a
Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub, it needs to be configured separately via the
Properties window.
To install a Rosemount 5900S by using the TankMaster WinSetup wizard do
the following:
1. Start the TankMaster WinSetup program.
2. Select the Devices folder.
3. Click the right mouse button and select Install New.
4. Follow the instructions.
There are a number of configuration options available which are not included
in the installation wizard. See “Basic Configuration” on page 4-6 and
“Advanced Configuration” on page 4-15 for information on how to use various
options such as Tank Scan, Empty Tank Handling, Surface Echo Tracking
and Filter Settings.
See also the Raptor System Configuration Manual (Document no. 300510EN)

Tank Reference Height (R)
The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping nozzle
(Tank Reference Point) to the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) close to, or at
the bottom of the tank. For the Array Antenna with hinged hatch the reference
point is located at the hand dip plate as illustrated in Figure 4-2 on page 4-7.
Gauge Reference Distance (G)
The Gauge Reference Distance (G) is measured from the Gauge Reference
Point to the Tank Reference Point, which is located at the top surface of the
customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the level gauge is mounted as
illustrated in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-3.
For the hinged hatch version of the 5900S with Array Antenna, the Tank
Reference Point and the Gauge Reference Point are located at the same
position i.e. at the hand-dip plate on the Still Pipe Gauge Stand as illustrated
in Figure 4-2 on page 4-7.
Set G=0 for the 5900S with Array Antenna hinged hatch version when using
the hand dip plate as the Tank Reference Point (see Figure 4-2).
G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the Gauge
Reference Point. Otherwise G is negative.
Tank Reference Point
G>0
Gauge Reference Point
G<0
Minimum Level Offset (C)
The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the Zero
Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product surface
(tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range can be
extended to the bottom of the tank.
If C>0, negative level values will be displayed when the product surface is
below the Zero Level. Select the Show negative level values as zero check
box in TankMaster WinSetup if you want levels below the Zero Level to be
displayed as Level=0.
Measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved if the C-distance=0,
i.e. the 5900S will report an invalid level.
Hold Off Distance
The Hold Off distance defines how close to the Gauge Reference Point a level
value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not need to be
changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank,
for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in
order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.

Rosemount 5900S Series
Calibration Distance
Use this variable to calibrate the 5900S so that measured product levels
match hand dipped levels. A minor adjustment may be necessary when the
gauge is installed if, for example, there is a deviation between the actual tank
height and the height given by tank drawings.
See “Calibration Using WinSetup” on page 4-29 for more information.
Pipe Diameter
When a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge is installed 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 results in a scale factor error. If locally supplied still pipes are
used, make sure the inner diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.

4.4.2 Tank Scan The Tank Scan window is a useful tool for analyzing the Rosemount 5900S
measurement signal. It allows you to view tank echoes and setup the most
important parameters to enable the gauge to distinguish between the surface
echo and disturbing echoes and noise.
To open the Tank Scan window:
1. Start the TankMaster WinSetup program.
2. In the TankMaster WinSetup workspace, click the right mouse button on
the icon that represents the 5900S Radar Level Gauge.
3. From the popup menu choose the Properties option.
The RLG Properties window appears.
4. In the RLG Properties window, select the Advanced Configuration tab.
5. Click the Tank Scan button to open the Tank Scan window:
Figure 4-4. The WinSetup Tank
Scan window

6. The Tank Scan window contains the Graph Area, Legend/Options area,
File Storage buttons, and various action buttons.
When the Tank Scan window is opened, the system starts reading tank data
from the gauge (indicated by a progress bar in the lower right-hand corner).
The Tank Echo curve shows the measurement signal in graphical form. In
addition to the surface echo there might be echoes from obstacles in the tank.
In the graph area you can configure the gauge to filter out echoes that
originate from obstacles in the tank in order to facilitate tracking of the product
surface echo.
The tank echo and echo peaks can be refreshed at any time with the Reread
From Gauge button. The new echo curve will be shown as a black line and
the previous curve as a grey line. The graph may show up to two old echo
curves. An old echo peak will be marked by a small cross. This can be used to
compare the existing tank signal with previous signals.
See the Raptor System Configuration manual (Document No. 300510EN) for
more information on how to use the Tank Scan function.

Activate Extra Echo Function
The Extra Echo Detection function is used for tanks with a dome or conical
bottom shape provided the tank bottom does not produce a strong echo when
the tank is empty. This function results in more robust measurements near the
tank bottom.
For tanks with a conical bottom, an echo may appear beneath the actual tank
bottom when the tank is empty. If the device is not able to detect the tank
bottom this function can be used to ensure that the device stays in empty tank
state as long as this extra echo is present.
You can find out if such an echo exists by using the Tank Scan function when
the tank is empty. Ensure that the scan extends below the tank bottom. The
tank spectrum can be used to find suitable values for parameters such as the
Extra Echo Min Distance, Extra Echo Max Distance and Extra Echo Min
Amplitude. The tank is considered empty when an echo appears within the
Min and Max Distance at an amplitude above the specified threshold.
Extra Echo Min Distance
Defines the minimum distance to the extra echo. This parameter should be
greater than the Tank Height.
Figure 4-6. The Extra Echo
Function
Extra Echo Max Distance
Defines the maximum distance to the extra echo. This parameter should
be greater than the Extra Echo Min Distance.
Extra Echo Min Amplitude
Defines the minimum signal strength of the extra echo. If the signal
strength exceeds this value and is found in the region between Min
Distance and Max Distance, the device stays in empty tank state and
presents Level=0.

Figure 4-7. Bottom Echo Visible
Rosemount 5900S Series
Bottom Echo Visible if Tank is Empty
By using this function the level gauge will be able to track relatively weak
surface echoes close to the tank bottom by treating the bottom echo as a
disturbance echo. This function may be useful for products which are
relatively transparent for microwaves such as oil.
Before activating this function, you should use the WinSetup/Tank Scan
function to find out if there is a clearly visible echo at the tank bottom when the
tank is empty. If this is the case, the Bottom Echo Visible If Tank Is Empty
check box in the Empty Tank Handling window should be marked.
If the Bottom Echo Visible... function is disabled, searching for the product
surface echo is limited to a region close to the tank bottom (Empty Tank
Detection Area).
If there is no strong bottom echo interfering with the surface echo, mark the

Empty Tank Detection Area
The Empty Tank Detection Area defines a range within a lower limit of
200 mm (8 in.) 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
level gauge presents a zero level reading.
If the tank is empty the 5900S level gauge searches for the product surface in
a region 2 x Empty Tank Detection Area. It is important that there are no
disturbances in this area, since when a new echo is found it is considered to
be the product surface. To ensure robust measurements in this region,
disturbances may need to be filtered out.
The Empty Tank Detection Area is only used if there is no visible bottom
echo. The Bottom Echo Visible if Tank is Empty function shall be disabled.

4.5 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
There are a number of advanced configuration options for the Rosemount
5900S gauge which may be useful in certain situations. These options are
available via TankMaster Winsetup and the 5900 RLG Properties window.
4.5.1 Environment Foam
You can use this parameter to optimize the gauge for conditions with low 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.
Turbulent Surface
Splash loading, agitators, mixers, or boiling products may cause a turbulent
surface. Normally the waves in a tank are quite small and cause local rapid
level changes. By setting the Turbulent Surface parameter the performance of
the level gauge will be improved when there are small and quickly changing
amplitudes and levels.
Rapid Level Changes
Optimize the level gauge for measurement conditions where the product level
changes quickly due to filling and emptying of the tank. The Rosemount
5900S is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 inch/s (40 mm/s). The Rapid
Level Changes function allows the 5900S to track level changes of up to 8
inch/s (200 mm/s).
The Rapid Level Changes function shall not be used in normal conditions
when the product surface moves slowly.
Solid Products
Setting this parameter optimizes the gauge 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. This
parameter can be used to optimize measurement performance. However, the
level gauge will still be able to perform well even if the actual Dielectric
Constant differs from the configured value.
4.5.2 Tank Shape The Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type parameters optimize the 5900S for
various tank geometries and for measurements close to the tank bottom.

4.5.3 Surface Echo Tracking
Figure 4-9. The WinSetup
Surface Echo Tracking window
The Surface Echo Tracking function can be used to eliminate problems with
certain types of ghost echoes below the product surface. This may, for
example, occur in still-pipes as a result of multiple reflections between the
pipe wall, flange and antenna. In the tank spectrum these echoes appear as
amplitude peaks at various distances below the product surface.
To activate this function, ensure that there are no disturbing echoes above the
product surface and select the Always Track First Echo check box.
To open the Surface Echo Tracking window:
1. In the TankMaster WinSetup workspace, click the right mouse button on
the desired 5900S Radar Level Gauge icon.
2. Choose the Properties option from the popup menu.
3. In the RLG Properties window, select the Advanced Configuration tab.
4. Click the Surface Echo Tracking button:

Echo Time Out
Use Echo Time Out to define the delay time until the gauge will start
searching for a surface echo after it has been lost. Until this period of time has
elapsed, the gauge will not start searching or trigger any alarms.
