THEORY OF OPERATION The 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 along 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).

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.

APPLICATIONS

The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter series is suited 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 range

 

of applications:

Figure 2-2. Application

 

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.

The Rosemount 5300 Series is well suited for chamber applications, such as distillation columns.

COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMITTER

The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter has an aluminum or stainless steel (SST) transmitter housing containing advanced electronics and software for signal processing. SST housing is preferred for harsh environment applications, such as off-shore platforms or other locations where the housing can be exposed to corrodents, such as salt solutions and caustics.

The radar electronics produces an electromagnetic pulse that is guided by the probe. It comes with flange, threaded or Tri-Clamp process connection.

There are different probe types available for various applications: Rigid Twin Lead, Flexible Twin Lead, Rigid Single Lead, Flexible Single Lead, and Coaxial.

SYSTEM 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 Indicator, 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. Rosemount 5300 Series transmitters can also be configured with the AMS® Suite and DeltaV™ software, and other tools supporting Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) functionality.

For HART communication a minimum load resistance of 250 within the loop is required.

Transition Zones

Figure 2-7. Transition Zones

The measuring range depends on probe type and product properties, and is limited by the Upper and Lower Transition Zones. In these zones, measurement accuracy may be reduced. The Upper Transition Zone is the minimum measurement distance between the upper reference point and the product surface. At the end of the probe, the measuring accuracy is reduced in the Lower Transition Zone. The Transition Zones vary depending on probe type and product.

PROCESS

The Rosemount 5300 Series has high sensitivity because of its advanced

CHARACTERISTICS

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:

bridging

 

(1)Consult your local Emerson Process Management representatvie for agitation/turbulence and high viscous products.

(2)Be precautious in HTHP viscous or crystallizing media applications where temperature at instrument 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.

Bridging

Foam

Vapor

Boiling Hydrocarbons

Maximum measurement error due to coating is 1-10% depending on probe type, dielectric constant, coating thickness and coating height above product surface.

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.

Heavy 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.

The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter 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.

In 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.

For 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.

(1)The probe end projection software function will improve the minimum dielectric constant. Consult you local Emerson Process Management representative for details.

(2)Measuring range may be lower depending on installation.

The maximum measuring range differs based on application according to:

 

• Disturbing objects close to the probe

 

• Media with higher dielectric constant ( r) has better reflection and a

 

longer measuring range

 

• Surface foam and particles in the tank atmosphere might affect

 

measuring performance

 

• Heavy coating / contamination on the probe may reduce the measuring

 

range and cause erroneous level readings

 

• Disturbing EMC environment in tank

 

• Tank material (e.g. concrete or plastic) for measurements with single

 

lead probes

Interface

Rosemount 5302 is the ideal choice for measuring the level of oil, and the

 

interface of oil and water, or other liquids with significant dielectric differences.

 

Rosemount 5301 can also be used for interface measurement in applications

 

where the probe is fully submerged in the liquid.

Figure 2-9. Maximum Upper Product thickness for the Flexible Single Lead probe.

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 product must be known and should 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/Dielectric Range” on page 5-23)

The upper product must have a lower dielectric 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 applications.

Emulsion Layers

Sometimes an emulsion layer (mix of the products) forms between the two products and can affect interface measurements. For assistance with emulsion applications, consult your local Emerson Process Management representative.

Because the radar signal is transmitted along a probe, the Rosemount 5300 Radar transmitter is generally not affected by objects in the tank. 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.

The 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. The transmitter can handle flat or dish-bottom tanks.
