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

continuous level transmitter. A 5400 transmitter is installed at the tank top and emits short microwave pulses towards the product surface in the tank. When a pulse reaches the surface of the material it is measuring, 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 from which the level is calculated.

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

The 5400 Series Radar Level Transmitter is a powerful radar level transmitter suitable for non-contact level measurements in process tanks and other types of tanks. It is designed for easy installation and maintenance free operation.

The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered which means it uses the same two wires for both power supply and F fieldbus signal. For HART

based systems the output is a 4-20 mA analog

Dielectric constant

The reflectivity of the product is a key parameter for measurement performance. A high dielectric constant of the media gives better reflection and thus enables a longer measuring range.

Foam How well the Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter measures in foamy

applications depends upon the properties of the foam; light and airy or dense and heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy the transmitter will probably measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is less conductive the microwaves will probably 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 is dependent upon the frequency, the antenna size, the dielectric of the material and the degree of turbulence. Consult Table 2-1 on page 2-5 and Table 2-2 on page 2-5 for the expected maximum range with the variables listed.

Temperature/Pressure/ Density and Vapor

Temperature and pressure generally have no impact on measurements. Measurements are also insensensitive to product density and vapor.

Condensation For applications where heavy condensation 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 3-8.

ANTENNA SELECTION GUIDE/MEASURING RANGE

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.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:

Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

Before powering a F 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.

Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or serious injury:

Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation. Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the

protection provided by the equipment. Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are

qualified.

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 5400 transmitter is off and the lines to any other

external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the gauge. To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before

servicing. Antennas with non-conducting surfaces (e.g. Rod antenna and All PTFE antenna) may

generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under extreme conditions. Therefore, when the antenna is used in a potentially explosive atmoshpere, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install the Rosemount 5400 Series, be sure to consider specific mounting requirements, vessel characteristics and process characteristics.

Socket Recommendation The Rosemount 5400 Series is mounted on a nozzle by using appropriate

flanges. For best performance it is recommended that the socket meets the following recommendations:

The transmitter should be installed as follows:

• The antenna must be aligned vertically.

• Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger receiving area concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain means greater margin for weak surface echoes. A larger antenna also results in a smaller beam angle and thereby, less interference from any internal obstructions.

• For best measurement performance, the antenna should extend below the nozzle by 0.4 inches (10 mm) or more.

• For the 5402 model 3-in. and 4-in. antennas can be used in nozzles with an unobstructed length of up to 39 in. (1 m). The 2-in. antenna may be used in nozzles where the total length is less than 12 in. (0.3) m.

Free Space For easy access to the transmitter make sure that it is mounted with sufficient

service space. Mounting close to a tank wall, nozzle or obstruction may have a negative

influence on measurement perfomance. For maximum measurement performance the transmitter should be mounted according to the following recommendations:

Recommended Mounting Position

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

When finding an appropriate mounting position for the transmitter the conditions of the tank must be carefully considered. The transmitter should be mounted so that the influence of disturbing objects is kept to a minimum.

MOUNTING_RESTRICTIONS.EPS

• Disturbing objects and filling inlets creating turbulence should be kept at a distance, outside the signal beam (see Figure 3-4 for beam width information).

• Avoid installing the transmitter at the center of the tank roof.

• A bridle / still-pipe can be used to avoid interference from disturbing objects, turbulence or foam.

Beam Width The following recommendations should be considered when mounting the

transmitter:

• The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as possible within the beam angle.

• The flat tank wall can be located within the antenna beam angle as long as there is a minimum distance from the transmitter to the tank wall (see Figure 3-2 for preferred installation).

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 4-7).

Disturbing objects The Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter should be mounted so that objects

such as heating coils, ladders etc. are not within 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 of disturbing objects in case such objects can not be totally avoided.

The Rosemount 5402 with its more narrow radar beam is particularly suitable in installations that have tall or narrow nozzles or nozzles close to the tank wall. It may also be used to avoid disturbing objects in the tank.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Figure 3-6. Mounting the 5400 with cone antenna.

Mount the transmitter on a nozzle on top of the tank. Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.

The transmitter housing must not be opened. If a software update or other service action is required that involves opening the housing, it must be done by a suitably trained service technician. Maintenance work that involves opening the housing must not be done when the transmitter is mounted on the tank.

If the transmitter housing must be removed for service, make sure that the
