4 Verify the Rosemount 5300 transmitter

Prerequisites

Open the Rosemount Radar Master and record the serial number and
firmware revision of the device to be tested in the Verification data tab of
the workbook. This information can be found in the Device Properties
window in the Device menu in Rosemount Radar Master.

Note

Inches or millimeters should be selected for measurement units (there is a
possible inaccuracy of 1.25 mm (0,05 in.) when inches are used for the
display).

Procedure

1. Configure device for verification.
a) Select Device → Backup Config to File… and save a backup

file of the current device.
The backup file needs to be reloaded once the verification is

complete.

b) Select Setup → Tank and configure the following parameters

for the transmitter that will be tested:

• Probe type: User Defined

• Probe length: Longest cable length +50 cm (20 in)

• Probe Impedance: 100 Ω

• Reference Pulse Amplitude: 3000 mV

10 Rosemount VeriCase

April 2019 Quick Start Guide

c) Make sure that the below parameters are set with the

following values:

• Propagation Factor: 1,000

• Tank Connection Length: 0

• Remote housing: None

• Probe angle: 0

• Vapor DC: 1

• Measurement mode: Liquid product level, solid product

level or product level and interface level

d) Save these configuration changes and restart the device.

2. Perform the verification test.
a) Set the cable switch to position 1. Wait for the values to

stabilize before taking a reading from the Device Display
window in Rosemount Radar Master.

b) Record the distance value, the internal temperature of

transmitter, and the Rosemount VeriCase temperature.

c) Repeat the procedure in 2.b for all six cable lengths in the

Rosemount VeriCase.

5 Generate a report

Once testing is complete, a report can be generated from the Excel
workbook. It is possible to generate a verification report and/or a Q4
certificate.

Prerequisites

To generate a Q4 certificate, the analog output of the transmitter under
verification should be tested at 4 mA, 12 mA and 20 mA and the results
should be saved in the Q4 Data tab before generating the certificate.

Procedure

1. In the Verification Data tab, select the Export Verification Data
button to generate a verification report.

2. In the Q4 tab, select the Export Verification Data button to generate
a Q4 certificate.

A FAQs

Q: Can verification of a FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus transmitter be performed
using the Rosemount VeriCase?

A: Yes, but an external FOUNDATION Fieldbus modem (and power supply if
explosion-proof) is required as the FOUNDATION Fieldbus modem is not
built into the Rosemount VeriCase.

Q: What do I do if a device fails?

A: Ensure the device is correctly configured and repeat the test. If the results
are the same, log a support request in the same way as you would do with
other level instrumentation, providing all the details of the test including the
results and the backup files.

Q: How do I know if a device has passed the test?

A: Refer to the Rosemount 5300 Product Data Sheet for accuracy
specifications. A device has passed if the final result is inside the combined
accuracy for the Rosemount 5300 and the Rosemount VeriCase as shown in
the Excel workbook.

Q: What does the offset value in the results mean? Do I need to adjust
anything in the guided wave radar settings?

A: The offset is generated from the Rosemount VeriCase rather than the
probe. This is compensated automatically and there is no need for manual
adjustments.

Q: Why is the transmitter rebooted every time I switch cable length?

A: The transmitter is rebooted so that the measurement can be reset to lock
on to a new value without echo logic or filtering affecting the measurement.

Q: How often should the Rosemount VeriCase be calibrated?

A: Once a year or if the calibration seals have been broken.

Q: The calibration of the Rosemount VeriCase has expired. What do I do?

A: Every world area has an assigned administrator to coordinate
recalibrations. Contact your administrator for further instructions.
