2.1 Measurement principle

The Rosemount™ 5408 and 5408:SIS are two-wire transmitters for continuous level measurements over a broad range of liquids, slurries, and solids. The measurement principle is fast-sweep Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW).
Transmitter Overview
November 2017
The transmitter continuously emits signal sweeps with a constantly varying frequency towards the product surface. Since the transmitter continuously changes the frequency of the transmitted signal, there will be a difference in frequency between the transmitted and the reflected signals (see
Figure 2-1).
The frequency of the reflected signal is subtracted from the frequency of the signal transmitted at that moment, resulting in a low frequency signal which is proportional to the distance to the product surface. This signal is further processed to obtain fast, reliable, and highly accurate level measurements. See
Figure 2-2 for a schematic overview of the signal processing.

2.2 Process characteristics

2.2.1 Dielectric constant
A key parameter for measurement performance is reflectivity. A high dielectric constant of the media provides better reflection and enables a longer measuring range.
2.2.2 Foam and turbulence
Foaming liquids or turbulence may cause weak and varying surface echo amplitudes. The effects of turbulence are usually minor, but in the most challenging conditions, the transmitter may be mounted in a still pipe. In addition, measurement performance can be optimized by configuring the appropriate process conditions settings, see “Process conditions” on page 196.
Measurement in foamy applications depends largely on the foam properties. When the foam is light and airy, the actual product level is measured. For heavy and dense foam, the transmitter may measure the level of the foam’s upper surface. The Double Surface Handling function allows the user to select if the foam layer or product surface should be used as output (see “Double surface handling” on page 201).

2.2.3 Condensation
Generally, the radar signal is unaffected by condensation and low pressure steam. However, heavy condensation can affect the measurement. In such applications, air purging may be required to prevent clogging of the antenna.
In high temperature applications, it is recommended to insulate the tank nozzle. Insulation prevents the nozzle from becoming a cold spot, and thus reduces the amount of water build up and condensation on the antenna.
If the temperature in the tank is much higher than the ambient temperature (i.e. tank is heated and located in a cold area), it might be necessary to heat trace the nozzle in addition to the insulation.
2.2.4 Dust
Dust is often present in solids applications, and even if the non-contacting radar is not affected by the dust in the vapor space, dust can be sticky and create a layer on the antenna. If this layer becomes too thick, it may affect the measurement. This is best managed by using air purging.
2.2.5 Solid surface
Transmitter Overview
November 2017
Solids have some common characteristics which may cause weak and varying surface reflections. The surface is rarely flat or horizontal, the angle of the sloping surface differs during filling and emptying, and the dielectric constant of many solids is fairly low. Tab l e 2- 1 presents common characteristics of some solids applications.
The parabolic antenna is ideal for applications with weak surface reflections. A larger diameter concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. The parabolic antenna comes with a swivel connection that adjusts for angled tank roofs.

2.3 Vessel characteristics

2.3.1 In-tank obstructions
The transmitter should be mounted so that objects such as heating coils, ladders, and agitators are not in 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 where such objects cannot be totally avoided.
Vertical and inclined structures cause minimal effect since the radar signal is scattered rather than directed back to the antenna.
2.3.2 Tank shape
The shape of the tank bottom affects the measurement signal when the product surface is close to the tank bottom. The transmitter has built-in functions which optimize measurement performance for various bottom shapes.

2.4 Application examples

3.3 Review mounting considerations

Before installing the transmitter, consider recommendations for mounting position, sufficient free space, nozzle requirements, etc.
3.3.1 Mounting position
When finding an appropriate location on the tank for the transmitter, the conditions of the tank must be carefully considered.
Consider the following guidelines when mounting the transmitter:
For optimal performance, the transmitter should be installed in locations with a clear and
unobstructed view of the product surface.
The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as possible within the signal beam,
see “Beam width and beam angle” on page 15.

3.3.2 Free space requirements
If the transmitter is mounted close to a wall or other tank obstructions such as heating coils and ladders, noise might appear in the measurement signal. Therefore the following minimum clearance, according to Ta b le 3 - 1 , must be maintained.
For easy access to the transmitter, mount it with sufficient service space (see Ta bl e 3 - 2).

3.3.3 Antenna size
Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger antenna diameter concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain permits greater margin for weak surface echoes.
In addition, a larger antenna diameter results in a smaller beam angle and thereby, less interference from any internal structures in the tank.
3.3.4 Antenna inclination
Ensure the antenna is aligned perpendicular to the product surface (see Figure 3-4). The parabolic antenna comes with a swivel connection that adjusts for angled tank roofs.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4408, Rev BA
Note that if the surface echo is weak in solids applications, then a small inclination of the parabolic antenna toward the surface slope may improve the performance.
Figure 3-4. Inclination
3.3.5 Non-metallic tanks
The walls in non-metallic tanks can be invisible to the radar signal, so nearby objects outside the tank may cause disturbing radar echoes. Wherever possible, the transmitter should be positioned so that
