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:

PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS

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.

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.
OUNDATION fieldbus segment in an explosive atmosphere, make
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.

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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Cable/conduit entries The electronics housing has two entries with ½ - 14 NPT threads. Optional

M20×1.5 adapters are also available. The connections are made in accordance with national, local and plant electrical codes.
Make sure that unused ports are properly sealed to prevent moisture or other contamination from entering the terminal compartment of the electronics housing. Install wiring with a drip loop. The bottom of the loop must be lower than the cable/conduit entry.
NOTE!
Use the enclosed metal plug to seal any unused port.

Grounding 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 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!
Grounding the transmitter via threaded conduit connection may not provide sufficient ground.
NOTE!
After installation and commissioning make sure that no ground currents exist due to high ground potential differences in the installation.

Cable Selection For best installation practices use a fieldbus type A cable. All power to the

transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. For the Rosemount 5400 Series signal wiring should be shielded, twisted pair for best results in electrically noisy environments. Do not use unshielded signal wiring in open trays with power wiring or near heavy electrical equipment. The cables must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. For instance, in the U.S., explosionproof 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 in order to minimize the voltage drop to the transmitter.
Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.

Hazardous Areas When the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter is installed in hazardous area,

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

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 the 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 as well, which can be used to handle special tank conditions and applications.
Figure 4-1 illustrates how the signals are channeled through the gauge.

It is highly recommended that you limit the number of periodic writes to all static or non-volatile parameters such as HI_HI_LIM, LOW_CUT, SP, TRACK_IN_D, OUT, IO_OPTS, BIAS, STATUS_OPTS, SP_HI_LIM, and so on. Static parameter writes increment the static revision counter, ST_REV, and are written to the device's non-volatile memory. Fieldbus devices have a non-volatile memory write limit. If a static or non-volatile parameter is configured to be written periodically, the device can stop its normal operation after it reaches its limit or fail to accept new values.
Each F
OUNDATION fieldbus configuration tool or host device has a different
way of displaying and performing configurations. Some will use Device Descriptions (DD) and DD Methods to make configuration and displaying of data consistent across host platforms. Since there is no requirement that a configuration tool or host support these features, this section will describe how to reconfigure the device manually. Appendix H: Operation with Delta V shows the Delta V implementation of these common functions.
This section covers basic operation, software functionality, and basic configuration procedures for the Rosemount 5400 Series Level Transmitter with F

Assigning Device Tag and Node Address

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Block Operation

A Saab Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter is shipped with a blank tag and a temporary address (unless specifically ordered with both) to allow a host to automatically assign an address and a tag. If the tag or address need to be changed, use the features of the configuration tool. The tool basically does the following:
1. Changes the address to a temporary address (248-251).
2. Changes the tag to new value.
3. Changes the address to a new address.
When the transmitter is at a temporary address, only the tag and address can be changed or written to. The resource, transducer, and function blocks are all disabled.
Function blocks within the fieldbus device perform the various functions required for process control. Function blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (AI) functions, as well as proportional-integralderivative (PID) functions. The standard function blocks provide a common structure for defining function block inputs, outputs, control parameters, events, alarms, and modes, and combining them into a process that can be implemented within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks.
In addition to function blocks, fieldbus devices contain two other block types to support the function blocks. These are the Resource block and the Transducer block.
Resource blocks contain the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; they have no input or output parameters. The algorithm within a resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the physical device hardware. There is only one resource block defined for a device.
Transducer blocks connect function blocks to local input/output functions. They read sensor hardware and write to effector (actuator) hardware.
Level Transducer Block
The Level Transducer block contains transmitter information including diagnostics and the ability to configure, set to factory defaults and restarting the transmitter.
Register Transducer Block
The Register Transducer Block allows a service engineer to access all database registers in the device.
Advanced ConfigurationTransducer Block
The Advanced Configuration Transducer Block contains functions such as amplitude threshold settings for filtering of disturbing echoes and noise, simulation of measurement values and strapping table for volume measurements.
Resource Block
The Resource block contains diagnostic, hardware, electronics, and mode handling information. There are no linkable inputs or outputs to the Resource Block.

Basic Configuration 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

Echo Tuning Echo Tuning is used to handle special situations when there are objects in the

tank which cause disturbing echoes that are stronger than the surface echo. The following tools are available to handle such situations:
Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)
False Echo registration

Advanced Configuration For some applications further configuration is needed in addition to the Basic

Configuration. This may be due to the properties of the product or the shape of the tank. Disturbing objects and turbulent conditions in the tank may also require that advanced measures are taken. See Appendix C: Advanced Configuration for more information.

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 Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master on page 4-18 for information on how to use RRM for configuration of the 5400 Series.

BASIC CONFIGURATION This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a

Rosemount 5400 transmitter. If the transmitter is pre-configured at factory according to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further basic configuration is needed unless conditions have changed since the ordering date.
At the end of this section different configuration tools are described.

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 4-4 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.

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 will give a scale factor error. If locally supplied still-pipes are used, make sure the inner diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.
Dead Zone
The measurement accuracy is reduced within the Dead Zone region close to the antenna. See Specifications on page A-1 for more information.
November 2005

Process Conditions Describe the conditions in your tank according to the Tank Environment

parameters for Process Conditions listed below. For best performance, choose only if applicable and not more than two options.
Rapid Level Changes
Optimize the transmitter for measurement conditions where the level changes quickly due to filling and emptying of the tank. As standard a 5400 transmitter is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 inch/s (40 mm/s). When the Rapid Level Changes check box is marked, the transmitter can track level changes of up to 8 inch/s (200 mm/s).
Turbulent Surface
This parameter should be used if the tank shows 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 be improved 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 upper surface of the foam.
Solid Products
Setting this parameter optimizes the transmitter for solid products, for example concrete or grains, which are not transparent for radar signals. For instance, this parameter can be used when the application is a silo with product build-up.
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 well even if the actual Dielectric Constant differs from the configured value.

Volume To configure the Rosemount 5400 transmitter for volume calculations you

have to choose the desired calculation method. Volume calculation is performed by using a strapping table or a predefined
tank shape. You can choose one of the following standard tank shapes: Sphere, Horizontal Cylinder, Vertical Cylinder, Horizontal Bullet or Vertical
Bullet. The following parameters must be entered for a standard tank shape:
Tank diameter.
Tank height (not for spherical tanks).
Volume Offset: use this parameter if you do not want zero volume and zero level to match (for example if you want to include volume below the zero level).
Strapping Table
The Strapping Table option should be 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 starting 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 the Basic Configuration is performed the transmitter may need to be

tuned to handle disturbing objects in the tank. There are different methods available for disturbance echo handling with the Rosemount 5400 Series Transmitter:
Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)
False Echo registration
The Guided Setup in the configuration program Rosemount Radar Master includes a Measure and Learn function which automatically registers false echoes and creates an ATC (see Guided Setup on page 4-21).

Amplitude Threshold Curve

Figure 4-6. Setting up an Amplitude Threshold Curve.
Amplitude, mV
Amplitude Threshold Curve
Setting up an Amplitude Threshold Curve makes tracking of the product surface more robust. Weak disturbing echoes, i.e. echoes with an amplitude that is smaller than the amplitude of the product surface echo, can be filtered out by creating an amplitude threshold.

Registration of False Echoes

Figure 4-7. The Rosemount 5400 can handle disturbing radar echoes.
The False Echo function is used to improve the performance of the gauge when the surface is close to a horizontal surface of a stationary 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 might interfere and cause a decrease in performance.
Disturbing objects
False echo
Surface echo
FALSE_ECHOES.EPS
The False Echo function allows you to register disturbing echoes caused by objects in the tank. When the surface is passing by a disturbing object, the gauge can measure with higher reliability, when 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. See the following recommendations before you register new interfering echoes:
Make sure that a correct amplitude threshold curve is set before you register any disturbance echoes (see Amplitude Threshold Curve on page 4-10).
Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or by visual inspection of the tank. Note if there are 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 you register a disturbance echo. A fluctuating level may indicate a temporary disturbance which is not due to an interfering object.
Do not register False Echoes located below the product surface. It is recommended that registration is done when the tank is empty.

VIEWING MEASUREMENT DATA

Using the Display Panel The 5400 transmitter uses an optional Display Panel for presentation of

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 up and running 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 5-3).
The display has two rows, the upper row shows the measured value and the second row shows the parameter name and measurement unit. The display toggles between the different variables every 2 seconds. Variables to be presented are configurable by using a 375 Field Communicator, DeltaV or the Rosemount Radar Master software.

Measured value gets stuck. May be caused by disturbing object in the
tank. Action:
• Remove disturbing object in the tank.
• Move the transmitter to another position or turn the transmitter 90°.
• Use the Echo Tuning function in RRM to register the false echo that causes the transmitter to lock on the wrong level, see “Echo Tuning” on page 4-10.
• Put an inclined metal plate on top of the disturbing object.
Measured value drops to zero level.
Measured value drops to zero level. (You can verify Empty Tank state by opening the Tank Display window in RRM).
May be caused by strong echoes from the tank bottom when product is slightly transparent. Action:
• Check Tank Height.
• Make sure that the Bottom Echo Visible parameter is enabled, see “Bottom Echo Visible” on page C-3 and C-7.
• Try using the Tank Bottom Projection function if the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The product is transparent.
- The tank bottom echo is visible.
- The Bottom Echo Visible parameter is enabled.
If the transmitter loses track of the surface within the Empty Tank Detection Area the tank is considered empty. See section “Empty Tank Detection Area” on page C-3 and C-8.
Action: If possible try another mounting position.

Measured level jumps to a lower value.
May be caused by:
• Two products layered in the tank.
Action:
• Enable the Double Surface function, see “Surface Echo Tracking” on page C-5. RRM: Setup>Advanced.
