THEORY OF OPERATION The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is a smart, two-wire

continuous level transmitter. A 5400 transmitter 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.

The product level is related to the tank height and the measured distance by the following expression:

Figure 2-1. Measurement principle for the Rosemount 5400 Series.

Level = Tank Height - Distance.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4026, Rev FA

July 2009

Tanks, vessels, and containers with calm surfaces

Non-contacting radar can also be used in less challenging applications, such as storage and buffer tanks:

• It is easy to mount, maintenance-free, and highly accurate

• Gives precise monitoring and control of the process

Overfill and underfill detection

The Rosemount 5400 Series can be advantageous in risk reduction systems:

• Continuous measurement may reduce or simplify proof-tests

• Multiple 5400s can be used in the same tank

Corrosives

Radar measurement is ideal for most corrosive products, such as caustics, acids, solvents and many other chemicals:

• Does not contact the process product

• Wide material offering such as PTFE, Alloy C-276 and Alloy 400

• Works well in non-metallic tanks also

Sticky, viscous and crystallizing products

The best-in-class Rosemount 5400 Series provides an accurate and reliable level reading with difficult products, such as resins and adhesives:

• Non-contacting is best practice

• Almost unaffected by coating and build-up because of the uniquely designed condensation resistant antennas

2-2

Sludges and slurries

Applications like mud, pulp-stock and lime slurries are ideal for non-contacting measurement:

• Immune to splashing and solids content

• Unaffected by density changes

• No re-calibration, no or little maintenance

00809-0100-4026, Rev FA July 2009

Rosemount 5400 Series

Reactor vessels

The innovative design of the Rosemount 5400 Series 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 Series can be used in mounting configurations other than standard nozzles:

• Fits most existing pipes: 2-8 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.

Underground tanks

The mounting flexibility of the Rosemount 5400 Series makes it an excellent choice for many underground tanks:

• Easy top-mounting

• Can handle long narrow nozzles, and pipes

• Unaffected by dirty products with solids content

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Figure 2-3. HART system architecture

The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered, and uses the same two wires for power supply and output signal. The output is a 4-20 mA analog signal superimposed with a digital HART signal.

By using the optional HART Tri-loop, the HART signal can be converted 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 375 Field Communicator or a PC with the Rosemount Radar Master software. Rosemount 5400 Series transmitters can also be configured with the AMS

Suite and DeltaV™ software, and other tools that support Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) functionality.

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

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

PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4026, Rev FA

July 2009

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.

Turbulence 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 Tables 2-1 and 2-2 on page 2-7 for the expected maximum range with the variables listed.

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 3-12.

ANTENNA SELECTION GUIDE/MEASURING RANGE

Table 2-1. Maximum recommended measuring range for the Rosemount 5402 model.

The measuring range depends on the microwave frequency, antenna size, the dielectric constant (

) of the liquid, and process conditions. A higher

dielectric constant value produces a stronger reflection. The figures in the tables below are guidelines for optimum performance. Larger measuring ranges may be possible. For more information, contact your local Emerson Process Management representative.

(1) The obstruction should not be within the radar beam. Preferred choices due to more narrow radar bea m: Model 5402, and cone antenna. (2) An extended cone antenna can be used. (3) The active part must protrude beneath the nozzle. (4) Build-up can often be avoided or reduced by using heat-tracing or cleaning arrangements. (5) Use a 6 or 8 in. (150-200 mm) cone antenna. (6) Foam can either reflect, be invisible, or absorb the radar sig nal. Pipe mounting is advantageous since it reduces the foaming tendency. (7) See wetted material on page A-6.

SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to

ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Please refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.

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 etc. may also jeopardize safety and is under no circumstances allowed.

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 make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.

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 5400 Series transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.

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.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Before installing a Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter, consider specific mounting requirements, vessel, and process characteristics.

Mounting 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 3-10 for beamwidth 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 1/4 of the diameter from the tank wall

Figure 3-1. It is important to consider the proper mounting position.

• The antenna is normally aligned vertically

and foam (G)

Figure 3-3. Multiple 5400 transmitters in the same tank

• 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, and will be less susceptible to obstruction interference, and assures maximum antenna gain

• Multiple 5400 transmitters can be used in the same tank without interfering with each other (H)

Nozzle Considerations Special considerations may have to be taken because of the nozzle,

depending on the selection of transmitter model and antenna.

5402 with Cone Antenna

The antenna can be recessed in smooth nozzles up to 6 ft (2 m). If the inside of the nozzle contains disturbing objects, use the extended cone (I).

Figure 3-4. Nozzle considerations for 5402 with Cone Antenna.

Figure 3-5. Nozzle considerations for 5402 with Process Seal Antenna.

5402 with Process Seal Antenna

The antenna can be used on nozzles up to 6 ft (2 m), (J). Disturbing objects inside the nozzle (K) may impact the measurement, and should therefore be avoided.

The flange on the tank should have a flat or raised face. Other tank flanges may be possible, please consult your local Emerson Process Management representative for advice.

Rosemount 5400 Series

Still-pipes in Metallic Materials

If used correctly, pipe measurement can be advantageous in many applications:

• Use cone or process seal antennas – not the rod 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 (N). Only applicable to 5401 cone antennas and cone antennas with wetted flange plate (i.e. straight antennas)

Nozzle Recommendations and Requirements

The Rosemount 5400 Series is mounted on a nozzle by using appropriate flanges. For best performance, it is recommended that the nozzle meets the following recommendations for height (L) and diameter:

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

For more information, see “Nozzle Considerations” on page 3-5.

Service Space For easy access to the transmitter, mount it with sufficient service space.

There is no requirement on clearance distance from the tank wall, provided it is flat and free of obstructions such as heating coils and ladders. The optimal location is often 1/4 of the tank diameter.

Vessel 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 Series has built-in functions which optimize measurement performance for various bottom shapes (see “Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type” on page 5-4).

Disturbing Objects The Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter 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 more narrow 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.

Valves The 5400 Series transmitter can be isolated from the process by using a

valve:

• Use a full-port ball valve

• The 5402 is 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 pipes.

GROUNDING The housing should always be grounded according to 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 Terminal compartment of the housing and the other is located on one of the cooling fins below the housing. The internal

ground screw is identified by a ground symbol: .

NOTE!

Using the threaded conduit connection for grounding may not be sufficient!

NOTE!

After installation and commissioning, make sure that no ground currents exist from high ground potential differences in the installation.

CABLE SELECTION Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5400 Series. 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 approval version of the Rosemount 5400 Series, suitable conduits with sealing device or flameproof (EEx d) cable glands must be used depending on local requirements.

Use 18 AWG to 12 AWG wiring to minimize the voltage drop to the transmitter.

HAZARDOUS AREAS When the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter is installed in a hazardous

area, all national and local regulations and specifications in applicable certificates must be observed.

Rosemount 5400 Series

July 2009

OVERVIEW Configuration of a Rosemount 5400 transmitter is normally a simple and

straight-forward task. If the transmitter is pre-configured at the factory according to ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further Basic Configuration is required, unless tank conditions have changed.

The 5400 Series supports a set of advanced configuration options that can be used to handle special tank conditions and applications. For further information on advanced configuration options, see “Advanced Configuration” on page C-1.

Basic Configuration Parameters

The Basic Configuration includes parameters for a standard configuration which is sufficient in most cases. The Basic Configuration comprises the following items:

• Measurement Units

• Tank Configuration

- Tank Geometry

- Environment

- Volume

• Analog Output

• Echo Tuning: see page 5-10 for more information on the ATC, and “Registration of False Echoes” on page 7-7 for more information on False Echo Registration

Configuration Tools There are several tools available for basic configuration of a 5400 transmitter:

• Rosemount Radar Master (RRM). Note that RRM is required for advanced configuration features. See “Basic Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master” on page 5-11 for information on using RRM to configure the 5400 Series.

• Rosemount 375 Field Communicator. See “Configuration Using a 375 Field Communicator” on page 5-21 for the Field Communicator Menu Tree.

• AMS Suite software. See “Basic Configuration Using AMS Suite” on page 5-24 for information on configuring AMS Suite.

RRM is a user-friendly, Windows waveform plots, off-line/on-line configuration Wizard, logging, and extensive on-line help.

based software package that includes

BASIC CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a Rosemount 5400 transmitter. If the transmitter is factory-configured according to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further basic configuration is needed unless conditions have changed since the ordering date.

Different configuration tools are described at the end of this section.

Measurement Units Measurement units can be specified for presentation of Level, Level Rate,

Volume and Temperature values.

Tank Geometry Tank Height

The Tank Height is the distance between the Upper Reference Point at the underside of the transmitter flange or the threaded adapter, and the Lower Reference Point close to or at the bottom of the tank (see Figure 5-2 for further information on Upper Reference Points for various tank connections). The transmitter measures the distance to the product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine the product level.

Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type

The 5400 transmitter is optimized according to the Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type configuration by automatically setting some parameters to

predefined default values.

Select Tank Bottom Type Flat Inclined if the bottom inclination is between 10

and 30 degrees. If the inclination is less than 10 degrees, but there are disturbing objects on the tank floor (like heating coils) within the radar beam, this selection should also be used. If the inclination is greater than 30

degrees, use the Cone Tank Bottom Type.

00809-0100-4026, Rev FA July 2009

Pipe Diameter

When the transmitter is mounted in a still-pipe, the inner diameter of the pipe must be specified. The Pipe Diameter is used to compensate for the lower microwave propagation speed inside the pipe. An incorrect value gives a scale factor error. If locally supplied still-pipes are used, make sure the inner diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.

Trans ition Zone

The measurement accuracy is reduced within the Transition Zone region 6 in. (150 mm) from the lower end of the antenna. It is recommended that the Upper Range Value (20 mA) be set outside the Transition Zone, areas where measurements are not recommended.

Rosemount 5400 Series

Process Conditions Describe the conditions of the tank according to the Tank Environment

parameters for Process Conditions listed below. For best performance,

choose only if applicable, and no more than two options.

Rapid Level Changes

Optimize the transmitter for measurement conditions where the level changes quickly from the filling and emptying of the tank. As a default standard, a 5400 transmitter is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 in./s (40 mm/s). When the Rapid Level Changes check-box is selected, the transmitter can track level changes of up to 8 in./s (200 mm/s).

Turbulent Surface

This parameter should be used if the tank has a turbulent surface. The reason for the turbulence might be splash loading, agitators, mixers, or boiling product. Normally, the waves in a tank are quite small and cause local rapid level changes. By setting this parameter, the performance of the transmitter will improve when there are small and quickly changing amplitudes and levels.

Foam

Setting this parameter optimizes the gauge for conditions with weak and varying surface echo amplitudes, such as foam. When the foam is light and airy, the actual product level is measured. For heavy and dense foam, the transmitter measures the level of the foam’s upper surface.

Product Dielectric Range

The Dielectric Constant is related to the reflectivity of the product. By setting this parameter, measurement performance can be optimized. However, the transmitter will still be able to perform properly, even if the actual Dielectric Constant differs from the configured value.

Volume Configuration For volume calculations, choose one of the standard tank shapes or the

strapping option. Select None if volume calculation is not used. For the standard tanks, a Volume Offset parameter can be specified which can be used for a non-zero volume that corresponds to the zero level. This may be useful, for example, if the user wants to include the product volume below the zero level.

Volume calculation is performed by using a predefined tank shape or a strapping table. One of the following standard tank shapes can be chosen:

• Sphere

• Vertical Cylinder

• Horizontal Cylinder

• Vertical Bullet

• Horizontal Bullet

The following parameters must be entered for a standard tank shape:

• Tank diameter

• Tank height (not for spherical tanks)

• Volume Offset

Vertical Bullet

Vertical Bullet tanks are specified by Diameter, Height, and Volume Offset. The volume calculation model for this tank shape estimates that the radius of the bullet end is equal to the Diameter/2.

Horizontal Bullet

Horizontal Bullet tanks are specified by Diameter, Height, and Volume Offset. The volume calculation model for this tank shape estimates that the radius of the bullet end is equal to the Diameter/2.

Sphere

Spherical tanks are specified by Diameter and Volume Offset.

Page 62

Rosemount 5400 Series

Actual tank bottom may look like this.

Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume profile that is more angular than the actual shape.

Using 10-15 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom.

Strapping Table

The Strapping Table option is used when the tank shape deviates significantly from an ideal sphere or cylinder, or when high volume accuracy is required.

The Strapping Table divides the tank into segments. Level values and corresponding volumes are entered at the bottom of the tank. These figures can typically be obtained from tank drawings or from a certificate provided by the tank manufacturer. A maximum of 20 strapping points can be entered. For each level value the corresponding total volume up to the specified level is entered.

The volume value is interpolated if the product surface is between two level values in the table.

Echo Tuning When Basic Configuration is performed, the transmitter may need to be tuned

to handle disturbing objects in the tank. There are different methods available for handling disturbance echoes with the Rosemount 5400 Series Transmitter:

• Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)

• False Echo registration, see “Registration of False Echoes” on page 7-7

The Guided Setup in the Rosemount Radar Master configuration program includes a Measure and Learn function which automatically registers false

echoes and creates an ATC (see “Guided Setup” on page 5-15).

The created ATC is based on the present tank spectra and process condition settings. Disturbances below the product surface might not be handled by the

Measure and Learn function.

Amplitude Threshold Curve

Figure 5-7. Weak disturbing echoes can be filtered out by creating an amplitude threshold.

Setting up an ATC makes tracking of the product surface more robust in the presence of noise and weak disturbing echoes. The ATC is normally used for filtering out disturbances with an amplitude smaller than the amplitude of the product surface echo.

The ATC is designed as a number of individually adjustable amplitude threshold points.

The Amplitude Threshold Curve function is available in the Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) program.

Echo Tuning

10. Step 2 in the Guided Setup allows automatic configuration of the Amplitude Threshold Curve and registration of false echoes by

running the Measure and Learn function. See “Echo Tuning” on page 5-10 for more

information on amplitude thresholds and false echoes.

Click button 2 to start the Measure and Learn

function. (If Echo Tuning is not needed, or is done at a

later stage, go on to step 3 in the Guided Setup).

Measure and Learn Function

11. Click the Yes button to run the Measure and Learn function. If No is clicked, this function

can be run at a later stage using the Spectrum Analyzer in RRM. Make sure there is no filling or emptying

occurring when the Measure and Learn

function is used.

Tank Precondition Settings

12. The Measure and Learn function creates an Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC) automatically and suggests False Echo Areas. See “Echo Tuning” on page 5-10.

(By clicking the Advanced button, one or both

of the options can be selected in the corresponding check-box). Verify the Tank Precondition settings, verify

that the Distance to Surface value is correct. If

not, it may be due to a disturbing object in the

tank). Choose Empty Tank if the tank is

empty.

Spectrum Plot

13. The automatically created Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC) and False Echo Areas are shown in the Spectrum Plot. False Echo Areas are presented as shaded areas, and represent tank levels where RRM found interfering echoes to be blocked out. False Echo Areas can be moved or removed before storing to the transmitter database. Verify that each False Echo Area is identified as an object in the tank that gives rise to a disturbing echo. See “Echo Tuning” on page 5-10 for more information.

Click the Store button to save the ATC and the

registered disturbance echoes.

Restart the Transmitter

14. Restart the transmitter to activate all of the configuration changes. It may take up to 60 seconds after the restart button is pressed before measurement values are updated.

View Measured Values

15. Step 4 shows measurement values to verify that the transmitter is working correctly. If the measured values seem incorrect, configuration settings may need to be adjusted.

Configuration Backup

16. When configuration is complete, the configuration should be saved to a backup file. This information is useful for:

- installing another 5400 in a similar tank, since the file can be directly uploaded to a new device.

- restoring the configuration, if configuration data is lost or accidentally modified, making the device inoperable.

The Configuration Report window

automatically appears when the backup is complete.

VIEWING MEASUREMENT DATA

Using the Display Panel The Rosemount 5400 transmitter uses an optional Display Panel to present

measurement data. When the transmitter is switched on, the Display Panel presents information such as transmitter model, measurement frequency, software version, communication type (HART, FF), serial number, HART identification tag, setting of write protection switch, and Analog Output settings.

When the transmitter is operating, the Display Panel presents Level, Signal Amplitude, Volume and other measurement data, depending on the Display Panel configuration (see “Specifying Display Panel Variables” on page 6-3).

The display has two rows, with the upper row showing the measured value and the bottom row showing the parameter name and measurement unit. The display toggles between the different variables every 2 seconds. Variables can be selected to be presented by using a 275/375 Handheld Communicator, the AMS Suite, or the Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) software.

SERVICE OVERVIEW The functions mentioned in this section are available in the Rosemount Radar

Master (RRM) configuration program.

ANALYZING THE MEASUREMENT SIGNAL

Figure 7-1. The Echo Curve presents all visible echoes.

Rosemount Radar Master (RRM), and other tools using enhanced Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL), has powerful functions for advanced troubleshooting. By using the Echo Curve plot function, an instant view of the tank signal is displayed. Measurement problems can be resolved by studying the position and amplitude of the different pulses.

In a typical measurement situation, the following pulses appear in the diagram:

Reference. This pulse is caused by the transition between transmitter head

and antenna and it is used by the transmitter as a reference at level measurements.

A missing reference pulse might be a symptom of a malfunctioning transmitter. Contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for assistance.

Product surface. This pulse is caused by a reflection on the product surface.

Different amplitude thresholds are used to filter out unwanted signals and pick up different pulses. The transmitter uses certain criteria to decide which type of pulse that is detected.

Echoes found above the Surface Threshold might be considered the product surface.

Surface Threshold. The amplitude threshold used for detecting the Product

level peak. The amplitude threshold is designed as a number of individually adjustable amplitude threshold points, the Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC). See “Amplitude Threshold Curve” on page 5-11.

The ATC is set during the Measure and Learn function and can be adjusted

manually. The ATC is used for filtering out disturbances with an amplitude smaller than the product surface echo.

Surface Threshold= Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)

Distance, m

Reference

00809-0100-4026, Rev FA July 2009

Rosemount 5400 Series

The surface thresholds should be set to approximately 20% of the measured signal amplitude of the product surface.

False Echo Area. False Echo Areas are set during the M e as ur e an d Learn

function (see “Guided Setup” on page 5-15), when the disturbing object is larger than the surface echo. The False Echo Area can be adjusted manually.

Hold Off Distance - Upper Null Zone. Measurements are not performed

within the Hold Off Distance. By setting the Hold Off Distance to zero, measurements can be performed close to the flange. Consider near zone accuracy. See “Near Zone Accuracy” on page A-1.

Tank Bottom. Measurements are not performed after the Tank Bottom limit.

SURFACE PULSE NOT FOUND

Figure 7-2. Example 1: surface threshold is too high.

The amplitude thresholds are adjusted manually or during the Measure and Learn function to appropriate values to filter out noise and other non-valid

measurements from the measurement signal.

The amplitude of the measurement signal, i.e. the amplitude of the signal reflected by the product surface, is related to the actual dielectric constant of the product.

Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) has a plot function that allows viewing of the reflections in the tank.

If the amplitude threshold is too high, the product level will not be detected, as illustrated in Figure 7-2. In a situation like this, the amplitude threshold is lowered so that the Surface peak is not filtered out.

If there are disturbing objects in the tank, the threshold must be set carefully to avoid locking on the wrong amplitude peak. In Figure 7-3, the transmitter has locked on a peak above the actual product surface, i.e. a disturbance was interpreted as the product surface.

Registration of False Echoes

Figure 7-5. The Rosemount 5400 can handle disturbing radar echoes.

The False Echo function improves the performance of the gauge when the surface is close to a horizontal surface of a static object in the tank. The object causes an echo when it is above the surface. When the echoes from the surface and the object are close to each other, they may interfere and cause a decrease in performance.

The False Echo function allows registration of disturbing echoes caused by objects in the tank. When the surface is passing a disturbing object, the transmitter measures with higher reliability if the position of the object is registered. This makes it possible to detect a product surface close to a disturbance echo even if the surface echo is weaker than the disturbing echo. Follow these recommendations before registering new interfering echoes:

• Make sure a correct amplitude threshold curve is set before registering any disturbance echoes (see “Amplitude Threshold Curve” on page 5-11)

• Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or visual inspection of the tank. Note any objects like beams, heating coils, agitators, etc. which correspond to the found echoes. Only register echoes above the Amplitude Threshold Curve which can be clearly identified as objects in the tank, keeping the number of registered echoes to a minimum

• Make sure the level is stable before registering a disturbance echo. A fluctuating level may indicate a temporary disturbance that is not from an interfering object

• Do not register False Echoes located below the product surface. It is recommended that registration be done when the tank is empty

USING THE ECHO CURVE ANALYZER

Figure 7-7. The Echo Curve function is a useful tool for signal analysis.

The Echo Curve in Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) shows the measurement

signal amplitude in the tank and includes the Echo Tuning functionality (see

“Echo Tuning” on page 5-10 for more information on false echo handling).

To plot the measurement signal:

1. Start the Rosemount Radar Master program.

2. Open Device Config/Tools (or Device Config/Setup).

3. Click the Echo Curve icon (see Figure 7-7).

4. The Echo Curve Analyzer window appears with the View/Record Mode

tab (or the Configuration Mode tab) selected.

The Measure and Learn function in Rosemount Radar Master automatically creates an Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC) used by the 5400 transmitter to find the surface pulse. The ATC is adapted to the shape of the measurement

signal as described in “Echo Tuning” on page 5-10. To create an Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC), click the Learn button in the

Echo Curve Analyzer/Configuration Mode window. By clicking the Learn button, the Measure and Learn function is activated and creates an ATC that

filters out all disturbing echoes. The ATC can also be edited manually if further fine tuning is needed.

The Configuration Mode window also allows the changing of the amplitude

thresholds manually, simply by dragging the corresponding anchoring points in the plot to the desired positions.

Note that by changing the amplitude thresholds in the Echo Curve plot manually, the Automatic mode is disabled for the corresponding threshold.

The Set Thresholds button sets the ATC to a fixed value based on the

configured Dielectric Constant of the product.

To register a false echo, right-click and select Register as false echo.
