Designed To Make The Difference

Innovative Design.
Real Results.

The Rosemount 5300 Series is the next
generation of Guided Wave Radar (GWR)
from Emerson, the industry leader in level
instrumentation. By drawing on over 30
years experience in the radar business, we
have designed the 5300 to perform reliably
in your most demanding applications. We
leveraged the modular design, state-of-the­art electronics and robust housing from the
5400 non-contacting radar and the reliable
probes from the 3300 GWR. The result is a
proven, high performance radar that delivers
real benefits from day one.

Direct Switch Technology (DST)
Function for Improved Uptime

Our unique electronic DST Function provides
a signal that is two to five times stronger than
other GWR transmitters, increasing measurement
reliability and capability. The improved signal
to noise ratio means enhanced ability to handle
disturbing factors, longer measuring ranges and
lower dielectrics, even with a single lead probe.
Now you can manage more applications reliably
and avoid unplanned downtime caused by
interrupted process monitoring.

Probe End Projection for Improved
Measurement Capability

Probe end projection allows for measurements
on very low dielectric constant products over
long ranges. The method is based on the fact
that microwaves propagate slower through
product than through air. By using the product
dielectric constant and the probe end echo, the
surface position is calculated when the surface
echo is unavailable. This substantially improves
measurement capability.

Smart Galvanic

Interface for

Increased Safety

The innovative

ground plane
configuration

between the

electronics, microwave

components and housing

results in a more stable

microwave performance

and minimizes unwanted

disturbances. This improves the
EMI performance and provides a
more robust, safe measurement

with minimized effects from

outside disturbances.

EchoLogics for Reliable

Overfill Detection

A key characteristic of a reliable

radar transmitter is to always detect

a full vessel situation even when several

disturbance echoes are present. EchoLogics is

the term we use for the capability to determine

the correct level. The Rosemount 5300 has an

enhanced ability to keep track of the surface at high

levels, minimizing the risk of overfills.

Robust and Modular Design for

Reduced Cost and Increased Safety

Electronics and cable connections are located in separate

compartments, providing safer handling and improved

moisture protection. The head can be removed without

opening the tank and there is no matching between head and

probes, protecting personnel and reducing maintenance cost.

High Accuracy for Improved Product Quality

Our patented crystal controlled timing circuit provides +/-

3mm reference accuracy. This results in better consistency and

improved product quality.

MultiVariable™ Output Reduces Cost

The 5300 simultaneously measures level and interface on a

2-wire platform. This results in fewer process penetrations

and reduced installation and wiring cost.

More Applications. Optimized.

The Rosemount 5300 series is suitable for all types of processing industries including oil & gas production, refining,
petrochemical, chemical, power, and water & waste treatment. The Rosemount 5300 offers radar level measurement
benefits for a wide range of applications in these industries. Its probe guided radar signal combined with innovative
engineering makes the 5300 virtually unaffected by process conditions and it has almost no installation restrictions.

Combine Level And Interface Measurement

One 5300 transmitter will measure both the upper surface and
the lower product interface in tanks with two products such as
separators, settling tanks etc. This reduces the number of tank
penetrations required. Use the 5300 with a single lead probe for
reliable measurement of interface in crude oil and other liquids
that create build-up.

Minimize Risk In The Most
Demanding Environments

The guided wave radar technology in the 5300
contains multiple layers of protection that enable
reliable performance in high temperature and
pressure tanks and bridles, on refinery distillation
columns, and power feed-water tanks, etc.
The measurement is not affected by density
variations, low reflectivity media or the mechanical
configuration of the bridle and the product inlet.

Improved Performance In Liquefied Gases

Being virtually maintenance-free and unaffected by

turbulence and vapor, the Rosemount 5300 is perfect
for liquid gas applications. The transmitter head can be
serviced without breaching the tank atmosphere. Long

measuring ranges enable operation in larger NGL, LPG and

ammonia tanks.

Underground Benefits

Probes that are unaffected by high and narrow
openings or nearby objects are available. This
makes the 5300 the best choice for underground
tanks, where the installation area is usually limited.

Solid Performance

Rosemount 5303 has a flexible single lead probe that measures

solids with dielectric constants as low as 1.4. The measuring

range is up to 160 ft. (50 m), and the transmitter has robust EMI

performance. Special probes for high physical weight loads are

available. Solids applications with the 5300 include powders and

granules, plastics such as PVC, cement, fly ash, corn etc.

Measure In Vessels With Turbulence, Vapor And
Mechanical Structures

The Rosemount 5300 delivers uninterrupted level data where
others fail. With Direct Switch Technology, the reflection back
from the surface is two to five times stronger compared with
other guided wave radars. The result is a superior ability to handle
disturbing objects, probe coating, vapor and turbulence.

Wide Range of ProbesMade to Last

Rosemount 5300 high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) probes

are designed to prevent leakage and perform reliably when exposed

to extreme process conditions for extended periods of time. The

5300 also offers probes in materials to handle harsh environments.

Meeting The HTHP Challenge

The design of the 5300 probe provides multiple layers of

protection. The seal includes a temperature and pressure

barrier in a flexible assembly to handle forces induced by probe

movement and temperature variations. A second brazed

hermetic, gas-tight seal provides another layer of protection,

and the entire assembly is welded into a stainless steel sleeve

for total robustness.

The brazed hermetic, gas-tight ceramic seal is

isolated from the process so temperature shocks,

variations and outside forces on the probe will not

affect the integrity of the seal.

The 5300 offers high application flexibility with a wide range of probe styles
including Coaxial, Twin and Single. Different materials and options for standard or
extreme pressure and temperatures are available. All probes are delivered with a
customer-specified length, but most can be cut to fit on site, if necessary.

Single Lead

The most tolerant against coating and deposits. However,
compared to other probe types, it is more affected by
disturbing objects close to the probe.

Rigid

The rigid single lead probes are the best solutions for bypass
installations.

A flexible probe load and locking system

compensates for stress from thermal expansion

and lateral and vertical forces. It also protects and

fastens the ceramics.

The ceramic insulators and graphite gaskets

on the temperature and pressure seal provide

a robust thermal and mechanical barrier as

well as offering chemical resistance.

Corrosive Environments

Selecting materials for corrosive environments is critical to
keeping your operation running at peak performance. In
addition to SST there are Hastelloy, Monel and PTFE-covered
SST material options available for the 5300. This allows for the
installation of the 5300 in even more applications for the oil and
gas, power, refining, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
