The Rosemount 5400 Level Transmitter is a smart, two-wire continuous level transmitter. A Rosemount
5400 is installed at the top of the tank and emits short microwave pulses towards the product surface in
the tank. When a pulse reaches the surface, part of the energy is reflected back to the antenna for
subsequent processing by the transmitter electronics. The time difference between the transmitted and
reflected pulse is detected by a micro-processor and is converted into a distance, which calculates the
level.

Reactor vessels
The innovative design of the Rosemount 5400 makes it an excellent choice for the
most difficult applications, such as reactor vessels:
Unique circular polarization provides greater mounting flexibility – no tank
wall clearance distance is needed
Direct measurement – independent of most variations in process conditions,
such as density, dielectric, vapor, temperature, and pressure
Can handle turbulent conditions created by agitation, top-filling, or process
reaction
Mounting flexibility
The versatile Rosemount 5400 can be used in mounting configurations other than
standard nozzles:
Fits most existing pipes: 2- to 8-in. (50-200 mm)
Easy to isolate from the process – use a ball-valve
Still-pipes reduce the influence of foam, turbulence, and tank obstructions.
Ball-valves can be used on both still-pipes and nozzles.

2.4Process characteristics
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.
Foam
Rosemount 5400 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.
Turb ul enc e
A calm surface gives better reflection than a turbulent surface. For turbulent applications, the maximum
range of the radar transmitters is reduced. The range depends on the frequency, the antenna size, the
dielectric of the material, and the degree of turbulence. Consult Table 2-2 on page 11 and Table 2-3 on
page 12 for the expected maximum range with the variables listed.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4026, Rev KB
Temperature/pressure/density and vapor
Temperature, pressure, product density, and vapor generally have no impact on measurements.
Condensation
For applications where heavy condensation and vapors may occur, the low frequency version Rosemount
5401 is recommended.
Tank characteristics
The conditions inside the tank have a significant impact on measurement performance. For more
information see “Vessel characteristics” on page 34.

Solid surface
The surface of solid materials is rarely flat or horizontal. The surface inclination will change as the vessel
fills and empties. There is often a lot of dust during the fill cycle. The dielectric value of many solids is
fairly low. See Table 2-1 on page 9 for common solids characteristics.
For solids applications, the high frequency version Rosemount 5402 with 4 inch cone or parabolic
antenna is available.

3.3Mounting considerations
Before installing a Rosemount 5400, consider specific mounting requirements, vessel, and process characteristics.
3.3.1Mounting location
For optimal performance, the transmitter should be installed in locations with a clear and unobstructed
view of the level surface (A):
Filling inlets creating turbulence (B), and stationary metallic objects with horizontal surfaces (C)
should be kept outside the signal beam – see page 32 for beam width information
Agitators with large horizontal blades may reduce the performance of the transmitter, so install the
transmitter in a location where this effect is minimized. Vertical or slanted blades are often invisible to
radar, but create turbulence (D)
Do not install the transmitter in the center of the tank (E)
Because of circular polarization, there is no clearance distance requirement from the tank wall if it is
flat and free of obstructions such as heating coils and ladders (F). Usually, the optimal location is
the diameter from the tank wall

The walls in non-metallic tanks are invisible to the radar signal, so nearby objects outside of the tank
may be detected.
Choose the largest possible antenna diameter for installation. A larger antenna concentrates the radar
beam, will be less susceptible to obstruction interference, and assures maximum antenna gain.
Multiple Rosemount 5400 can be used in the same tank without interfering with each other (H).

3.3.3Mounting in pipes
Still-pipe mounting is recommended for tanks with extremely turbulent surface conditions. All cone
antenna sizes for the Rosemount 5400 can be used for still-pipe installations. The 3-in. (75 mm) antenna
for the Rosemount 5401 is designed for use in still-pipes only. Parabolicand rod antennas are not
recommended for still-pipes.
Mechanical Installation

3.3.4Condensation conditions
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4026, Rev KB
Generally, the radar signal is unaffected by condensation and low pressure steam. If affected, the lower
microwave frequencies are less affected. The critical point is the tank penetration, which acts as a cold
spot, where the condensation will form. The radar antenna is located at this cold spot.
If droplets of water build up on the antenna parts, the microwave signal may get partially or even entirely
blocked if the antenna is not designed for easy drip-off. Therefore, here it is beneficial to use as large
opening for the microwaves as possible, which is the main reason for the oversized PTFE seal in the
Rosemount 5400. An even better solution is to use a Process Seal Antenna if the process pressure permits
that.
To reduce the cold spot within the nozzle, it is always recommended to insulate the nozzle. By doing so,
the temperature in the nozzle will be the same as in the rest of the vessel and condensation will thus be
reduced. 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.

Still-pipes in metallic materials
Mechanical Installation
June 2016
If used correctly, pipe measurement can be advantageous in many applications:
The Rosemount 5402 is the preferred choice for smaller pipe diameters.
Use the Rosemount 5401 for larger pipe diameters (6-8 in./150-200 mm),
pipes with larger holes or slots, or for dirty/sticky media.
Use cone or process seal antennas - not the rod antenna or the parabolic antenna.
The gap between the cone antenna and the still-pipe is limited to 0.2 in. (5 mm). If required, order an
oversized antenna and cut on location (P). Only applicable to Rosemount 5401 cone antennas and
cone antennas with wetted flange plate (i.e. straight antennas).
The inside of the chamber must be of a constant diameter.
Note
Match antenna size to the stilling well diameter.

Ball-valve installation
The Rosemount 5400 can be isolated from the process by using a valve:
The Rosemount 5402 is the preferred choice for long nozzle measurement.
Use the largest possible antenna.
Use a full-port ball valve.
Ensure there is no edge between the ball valve and the nozzle or stilling well, the inside should be
smooth.
Valves can be combined with stilling wells.

Install the transmitter as follows:
Align the antenna vertically.
Choose the largest antenna diameter possible. A larger receiving area concentrates the radar beam
and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain permits greater margin for weak surface
echoes. A larger antenna also results in smaller beam angle and thereby, less interference from any
internal structures in the tank.
For best measurement performance, the antenna should extend below the nozzle
0.4 in. (10 mm) or more.

3.3.9Vessel characteristics
Heating coils, agitators and other objects in the tank may lead to disturbing echoes and noise in the
measurement signal. Vertical structures cause minimal effect since the radar signal is scattered rather
than directed back to the antenna.
The shape of the tank bottom affects the measurement signal when the product surface is close to the
tank bottom. The Rosemount 5400 has built-in functions which optimize measurement performance for
various bottom shapes (see “Tank type and tank bottom type” on page 103).
3.3.10Disturbing objects
The Rosemount 5400 should be mounted so that objects such as heating coils, ladders, etc. 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.
The Rosemount 5402 has a narrower radar beam that is particularly suitable in installations with tall or
narrow nozzles, or nozzles close to the tank wall. It may also be used to avoid disturbing objects in the
tank.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4026, Rev KB
3.3.11Valves
The Rosemount 5400 can be isolated from the process by using a valve:
Use a full-port ball valve.
The Rosemount 5402 is the required and the process seal antenna is the preferred choice, since it does
not require a spool piece. The cone antenna can also be used.
Ensure there is no edge between the ball valve and the nozzle/pipe, the inside should be smooth.
Valves can be combined with stilling wells.

3.4.8Adjust inclination of parabolic antenna
Orientation
General best practice is to initially align the parabolic antenna vertically to the ground.
90°
Mechanical Installation
June 2016
If the surface echo is weak, a small inclination of the antenna toward the surface slope may improve
the performance.
The angle of slope differs during filling and emptying, and thus the signal strength. Therefore, monitor
the entire cycle to verify optimum antenna inclination.

Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform installation or service.
Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection
provided by the equipment.
Any substitution of non-recognized spare parts may jeopardize safety. Repair (e.g. substitution of
components) may also jeopardize safety and is under no circumstances allowed.
Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are qualified.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged, gas might
escape from the tank if the transmitter head is removed from the antenna.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations specifications.
In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter cover when power
is applied to the unit.
Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments
in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring
practices.
Do not remove the gauge cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before
servicing.
To avoid process leaks, only use O-rings designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Make sure the main power to the Rosemount
other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.
High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock.
Avoid contact with leads and terminals.
Make sure the main power to the Rosemount 5400 is off and the lines to any other external power
source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the gauge.
Antennas with non-conducting surfaces.
Antennas with non-conducting surfaces (e.g. rod antenna and process seal antenna) may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under extreme conditions.
Therefore, when the antenna is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures
must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.

4.4Grounding
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 two grounding screw
connections provided. One is inside the field terminal side of the housing and the other is located on the
housing. The internal ground screw is identified by a ground symbol:
Figure 4-1. Ground Screws

Electrical Installation
June 2016
Note
In the explosion-proof/flameproof version, the electronics is grounded via the transmitter housing. After
installation and commissioning make sure that no ground currents exist due to high ground potential
differences in the installation.
4.5Cable selection
Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5400 to comply with EMC regulations. The cables
must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. For
instance, in the U.S., explosion-proof conduits must be used in the vicinity of the vessel. For the ATEX
flameproof and the IECEx approval version of the Rosemount 5400, suitable conduits with sealing device
or flameproof cable glands must be used depending on local requirements.
Use 18 AWG to 12 AWG wiring to minimize the voltage drop to the transmitter.
For Modbus
2 cables are used for communication: 24 AWG shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended to get an
impedance of 120
2 cables are used for power: AWG 16-18 cables must be used

units (RS-485 bus), the following rules apply:
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4026, Rev KB
Note
Avoid running instrument cable next to power cables in cable trays or near heavy electrical equipment.
It is important that the instrument cable shield be:
trimmed close and insulated from touching the transmitter housing
continuously connected throughout the segment
connected to a good earth ground at the power supply end
4.6Hazardous areas
When the Rosemount 5400 is installed in a hazardous area, all national and local regulations and
specifications in applicable certificates must be observed.
4.7External circuit breaker
For compliance with Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, an external circuit breaker should be installed.
