For stand-alone systems, or as a complement to a PC or a control system,
you can monitor level data using one or two analog outputs depending on the
particular hardware configuration.

As an option, your Rosemount 5600 Radar Level Transmitter can be
equipped with an easy-to-use Rosemount 2210 Display Panel. It offers
basically the same functionality as the Radar Master package. Four sturdy
softkeys give you access to configuration routines, service functions, and
level monitoring.

Measurement Principle

The level of the product in the tank is measured by radar signals transmitted
from the antenna at the tank top. After the radar signal is reflected by the
product surface the echo is picked up by the antenna. As the signal is varying
in frequency the echo has a slightly different frequency compared to the signal
transmitted at that moment. The difference in frequency is proportional to the
distance to the product surface, and can be accurately calculated. This
method is called FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and is
used in all high performance radar transmitters.

Rosemount 5600 Series

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter sends a microwave signal with a
continuously varying frequency towards the product surface. When the
reflected signal returns to the antenna, it is mixed with the outgoing signal.

Since the transmitter continuously changes the frequency of the transmitted
signal, there will be a difference in frequency between the transmitted and the
reflected signals.

The transmitter mixes the two signals, resulting in a low frequency signal
which is proportional to the distance to the product surface. This signal can be
measured very accurately allowing fast, reliable, and accurate level
measurements.

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter uses micro frequency to reduce
sensitivity to vapor, foam, and contamination of the antenna, and keeps the
radar beam narrow in order to minimize influence from walls and disturbing
objects.

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter uses Fast Fourier Transformation
(FFT), which is a well established signal processing technique, to obtain a
frequency spectrum of all echoes in the tank. From this frequency spectrum
the surface level is extracted. In combination with the echofixer, FFT allows
measurements in tanks with agitators, mixers and other disturbing objects.
The echofixer provides a technique to adapt measurements to various
situations, by using information from previous measurements.

propagation. In this case the measuring range in calm surface tanks is in
typical cases 50 ft. (15 m).

To increase the measuring range further in turbulent tanks, a still-pipe can be
used. For still-pipe mounted 5600 transmitters the typical measuring range is
115-160 ft. (35-50 m) in turbulent tanks with liquids having ε

Minimum Measuring Distance

The minimum distance the radar can measure depends on the antenna
selected. Typically the level can come as close as 0.79-in. (20 mm) from the
antenna tip, before the software disregards the signal. Being this close to the
antenna may however reduce the measurement accuracy. Table 2-1 on
page 2-3 includes the value Hold Off Distance, which is the default setting for
this minimum distance. It can not be decreased, only increased if needed.

Measuring Close to Tank Bottom

When measuring products with low dielectric constants, i.e. DC range 1.4 -

2.5, some of the radar energy will go thru the product. This could lead to that
the radar will see the Flat Tank Bottom, even though there is a small amount
of product covering the bottom of the tank. This could reduce the accuracy of
the measurement at these lower product levels. This could occur at product
levels of 4-6 inch (100-150 mm) or lower, but depends on the product as well
as the tank bottom type. There are special software settings that could
improve this situation, or alternatively mechanical changes could be
implemented to minimize the influence from the bottom of the tank.

INTRODUCTION This section describes the mechanical installation. Start by reading the

General Installation Requirements for your antenna. This includes Nozzle and
Free Space Requirements. The last part of this section includes mounting
instructions for all antenna types, including special requirements for still
pipe/bridle installations and applications.

Tools The following set of tools are needed for installation of a 5600 Series Radar

Level Transmitter:

• Screw driver.

• Adjustable wrench.

• Allen key.

• Circlip plier (snap ring plier).

• Hook spanner (comes delivered with the transmitter).

GENERAL
INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS

Position the transmitter in a way that allows the microwaves to propagate
without disturbance from the tank wall. In order to achieve optimum
performance you should consider the following recommendations:

• Try to avoid obstacles in the radar beam.

• Mount the transmitter away from pipe inlets which cause turbulent
conditions.

• Choose as large antenna as possible to ensure maximum antenna
gain.

• For best measurement performance it is recommended that the
antenna tip ends outside the nozzle, see Figure 2-2.

Customer Supplied
Flanges

2-2

The simple design of cone and rod antennas tank connection allows the use
of customer supplied flanges. If a hole is drilled in a standard blind flange the
pressure performance may be reduced. In such a case the flange should be
marked with new rating for Maximum Allowed Working Pressure (MAWP).

NOTE

See Technical Note “Using Radar Transmitters in Stilling Wells and By-pass
Cages” (part number 00830-2100-4024)

Installation Requirements for Cone Antenna in a Still-pipe/Bridle

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter is suitable for measurements in still
pipes and bridles. The high signal processing capacity allows measurements
even when there are several pipe inlets, provided that the mechanical
installation is done per the guidelines in this manual or related technical note.

20,03

20,03B

Still-pipe or bridle pipe mounting is recommended for LPG tanks and other
applications where surface conditions may be extremely turbulent. By using a
pipe, foam and turbulence is reduced. Accuracy may, however, be reduced in
bridle and still pipe applications.

Reference Manual

Rosemount 5600 Series

For Still Pipes The 3, 4 and 6 in. cone antennas are designed to fit into new or existing still

pipes with the corresponding pipe size. A gap between the antenna opening
and the pipe of up to 0.4 in. (10 mm) may occur. In most applications this gap
has only a limited effect on the measuring performance.

It is always recommended to have the gap as small as possible, since larger
gaps cause larger inaccuracies.

00809-0100-4024, Rev BA
September 2005

Rosemount 5600 Series

For Bridle Pipes For Bridle applications the basic guidelines are similar to the guidelines

written above for Still Pipes, i.e. that the 3, 4 and 6" Cone antennas will fit the
corresponding pipe sizes, and you should try to get the gap as small as
possible. If possible, and if the application allows for it, another general
guideline is to keep the pipe inlet as small as possible.

In more difficult bridle applications with inlet pipes larger than 2 in. or in pipes
with severe contamination can be expected, the antenna size should be
customized to better fit the pipe. In this case do the following:

a. Measure the inner diameter of the pipe.

b. Cut the cone antenna so that it fits inside the Bridle Pipe.

c. Make sure that the gap between the pipe and the antenna is smaller

than 0.04 inches (1 mm).

Please contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for
details about a factory-cut antenna.

MEASUREMENT IN LARGE PIPES

When using standard cones in larger (8-in. or larger) still pipe installations,
there is a risk for measurement problems. When standard linear shaped
cones are used in pipes, more than one microwave mode is generated and
each mode has a unique propagation speed. This is a radar physics problem
that is common to all radar gauges when linear shaped cones are used.

In larger pipes, the amplitude of echoes generated by the “unwanted” modes
may become rather high, and may result in loss of the surface echo at certain
locations in the pipe. In addition, there may be measurement errors
associated with two closely spaced echoes where the gauge will not lock on a
single target.

The relative amplitude of the unwanted modes in a straight cone is
proportional to the product of the cone angle and the diameter in the cone
opening. Therefore measurement error increases as pipe diameter increases
since the cone angle is the same for all the cones.

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4024, Rev BA

September 2005

Due to this issue, Emerson Process Management does not recommend

using
the 5600 Series 8-in. cone antennas for larger pipe measurements. Instead, a
special pipe antenna should be used.

Due to the slanting opening of the antenna the direction of the radar beam is
slightly changed towards the short end of the antenna opening. If objects are
present which may cause disturbing radar echoes, the antenna should be
oriented in such a way that the disturbing objects do not interfere with the
radar signal. The short side should be turned away from disturbing objects on
the most open part of the tank.

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

Do not remove the transmitter 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 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter is off and the lines to
any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring
the transmitter.

Rosemount 5600 Series

SYSTEM OVERVIEW Power Supply

Connect the power supply to terminals 3 and 4 in the non-intrinsically safe
Junction Box (EEx e).

Analog Outputs

There are two analog outputs which can be of passive or active type (external
or internal loop supply). The primary output has a HART interface.

Connect the primary analog output to terminals 1 and 2.

Use the EExe junction box for non-intrinsically safe applications, and the EExi
junction box for intrinsically safe applications.

Digital Communication

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter can be equipped with HART
interface, and can be either connected EExe or EExi.

The Foundation fieldbus can be connected to either the intrinsically safe
(EExi) or the non-intrinsically safe (EExe) junction box.

5600-CONFIG_EXAMPLE2, 3, 4_ED3, TH40HEAD_ED3_2

POWER SUPPLY You can use either DC or AC as the built in power supply has a wide input

range. The following specification is valid for the power supply:

• 24-240 V

• DC/AC 0-60 Hz

•10 W

•15 VA

There is no voltage selector in the electronics compartment since the
transmitter power supply unit automatically adapts to the available voltage
within specified limits.

NOTE

The minimum voltage required at the transmitter power terminals is 20V.
Check that the voltage loss over the power cables is not large enough to
make the voltage drop below 20V. The maximum voltage is 265V over the
same power terminals.

GROUNDING ATEX

The flameproof enclosure must be connected to a potential equalizing
network or the tank shell or according to national code of practice.

This grounding also serves as electrical safety ground. Additional connection
to the protective ground terminal of terminal X1 in Junction Box EExe is not
recommended except where required according to national code of practice.
A ground loop with circulating current may occur. See Appendix B: Product
Certifications.

Fieldbus Connections For best installation practices use a fieldbus type A cable. Do not run

unshielded signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring or near
heavy electrical equipment. Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive
atmospheres when the circuit is alive. Use ordinary copper wire of sufficient
size to ensure that the voltage across the fieldbus terminals does not go below 9
V dc.

NOTE

Do not apply high voltage (e.g. ac line voltage) to the fieldbus terminals.
Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit.

Model Code Use the Model Code located on your fieldbus transmitter to determine wiring

connection.

communication with all devices on the segment.

Grounding Signal wiring of the fieldbus segment can not be grounded. Grounding out

one of the signal wires will shut down the entire fieldbus segment.

Shield Wire Ground

To protect the fieldbus segment from noise, grounding techniques for shield
wire usually require a single grounding point for shield wire to avoid creating a
ground loop. The ground point is typically at the power supply.

OVERVIEW To be able to fully utilize the 5600 Radar Level transmitter it has to be properly

configured. To configure the transmitter access the configuration parameters
and assign them appropriate values. In this section you will find the
parameters used and how they affect your application. The preferred user
interface for the configuration is the Rosemount Radar Master software. See
“Safety Messages” on page 5-1. Configuration can also be performed using
the:

• AMS / 375 Field Communicator (see Section 5: HART Configuration)

• Foundation Fieldbus (see Section 6: FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Configuration)

• 2210 Display Unit (see Section 7: 2210 Display Unit Configuration)

• DeltaV (see Section 6: FOUNDATION Fieldbus Configuration)

• or others

Limited support for various configuration parameters may apply when using
certain configuration tools.

Basic Configuration The parameters are divided into several categories listed below. Configuration

includes specification of parameters for:

• “Antenna” on page 4-3

• “Tank Geometry” on page 4-5

• “Analog Output” on page 4-7

• “Process Conditions” on page 4-9

• “Temperature Measurement” on page 4-9

• “Volume Calculation” on page 4-10

Advanced Configuration When the basic configuration is done the transmitter will be optimized for your

application. However, in some cases the transmitter must be further
configured using the Advanced Functions (this may affect the previous basic
configuration by updating some parameters already set).

Offset to specify your own reference point at the top of the tank.
Set the Distance Offset to zero if you want the flange as upper

transmitter should correspond with the level value obtained by
hand-dipping.

Point down to the tank bottom. The Minimum Level Offset is
defined as the distance between the zero level (Tank Level
Reference Point) and the minimum accepted level and tank
bottom. Set the Minimum Level Offset to zero if you use the tank
bottom as zero level reference point. If the zero level is not defined
as the tank bottom and instead is an elevated point as the datum
plate, you need to define the Minimum Level Offset.
Note: The Minimum Level Offset can not be negative.

adjust the transmitter so that measured levels match hand dipped
product levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary. There
may for example be a deviation between the actual tank height and
the value stored in the transmitter database.

Set this parameter if you want levels below the reference point at
the bottom of the tank to be displayed as zero. This parameter can
be used if you have set a Minimum Level Offset distance in the
tank geometry configuration.

VOLUME CALCULATION The Volume Calculation is performed by using one of two methods:

predefined tank shape or strapping table. The strapping table is an optional
function. If this function is required, please contact your local Rosemount
representative.

To configure the 5600 transmitter for volume calculations you have to choose
a Volume Calculation method.

Select one of the volume calculation methods. Choose one of the ideal tank
shape options if approximation of your tank with an ideal tank shape provides
sufficient accuracy. The strapping table option can be used for an arbitrary
tank shape. You can enter levels and corresponding volumes to obtain a close
match between the actual and the calculated volume. This option should be
used in cases where the tank shape deviates significantly from an ideal
sphere or cylinder, or when you require high accuracy.

NOTE

The transmitter is delivered with a code that enables the ordered software
options including strapping table volume calculation. If you wish to change the
set of available options, contact your local Rosemount representative.

Ideal Tank

Use this option if approximation of your tank with an ideal tank shape
(assuming no dished ends) provides sufficient accuracy. Enter the following
parameters:

• Tank Diameter (and the length if it is a horizontal tank).

• 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

• Enter levels and corresponding volumes starting at the bottom of the
tank. These figures can typically be obtained from tank drawings or
from certificate from the tank manufacturer. If the level//volume table is
based on a reference point that is different from your reference point,
you can use Level Offset and Volume Offset. The Volume Offset is
added to every value in the corresponding column.

• Select which interpolation method to use for calculating volumes
between the strapping points. Normally, linear interpolation is the
preferred method. For spherical tanks, quadratic interpolation may
result in a smaller error. By using linear interpolation and a sufficient
number of values in the strapping table, the interpolation error can
normally be reduced to a minimum.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS In some cases the transmitter must be further configured using the Advanced

Functions. Please note this may affect the previous basic configuration by
updating some parameters already set.

Disturbance Echo
Handling

Figure 4-2. Disturbance Echoes

There are three methods available for Disturbance Echo Handling:

• General Amplitude Threshold

• Customized Noise Threshold Table
(Amplitude Threshold Points [ATP] table)

• Registration of False Echoes

There are guidelines on when to register a false echo and what the Auto
Configuration does.

Disturbing objects

Echo from

disturbing objects

Surface echo

Surface

5600_C_03A.EPS

The False Echo function is used to improve the performance of the transmitter
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.

It is possible to store the positions of the disturbing objects in the memory of
the transmitter. When the surface is passing by a disturbing object, the
transmitter can measure with a higher reliability, when the position of the
object is registered.

Use a spectrum plot to find the disturbance echoes. Remember to update it
several times to get the whole picture of disturbance echoes in the tank. Do
not base the false echo registration on only one updated spectrum plot. (See
Figure 4-3).

Threshold

Echoes with amplitudes below the general amplitude threshold will be
disregarded. Recommended threshold values are:

• Calm conditions: no turbulence, foam or condensation. Set amplitude
threshold to approximately 20% of surface echo amplitude.

• Foam, agitators, or low product DC: the surface echo signal may drop to
200-300 mV during processing in tank. A threshold value of about 150
mV is recommended.

Note:

These figures are estimations. Significantly different figures may have to be
used in many cases.

Some further considerations are:

• If water test is performed before the product enters the tank, there is
probably a difference in signal amplitude between the water and the
product. Use the signal amplitude for the product to set the amplitude
threshold.

• A moving surface may cause a decrease in signal amplitude.

(ATP-table)

Registration of
False Echoes

You can filter out weak disturbing echoes by creating a noise threshold table.
This technique should only be use in special situations, for example at the
bottom of tanks with weak disturbing echoes. In such tanks the transmitter
may lock at disturbances close to the bottom when the tank is empty. Setting
up a noise threshold in the region will guarantee that the transmitter starts
following the surface when the tank is filled again. Make sure the surface
echo amplitude in the bottom region is always stronger than the noise
threshold. (See Figure 4-4)
Also, this function can be used in areas where occasionally there are strong
echoes present. For those large areas registering a False Echo may not be
sufficient.
Furthermore, the ATP-table can be used to remove influence for the tank
nozzle or a still-pipe inlet at the top of the tank. The Hold Off Distance (UNZ)
can also be used to manage such cases.
Do not create noise thresholds around echoes which are already registered
as interfering echoes. The general amplitude threshold is the lower limit of
the noise threshold table. (See Figure 4-4).

The False Echo function allows you to let the transmitter register disturbing
echoes caused by objects in the tank. 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 Figure 4-5).

When should I register?

See the following recommendations before you register new interfering
echoes:

• Make sure that a correct amplitude threshold is set before you register
any disturbance echoes. See description of the SpectraThreshold
window.

• Keep the number of registered echoes to a minimum.

• Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or by visible
inspection of the tank. Note if there are objects like beams, heating coils,
agitators, etc. which correspond to the found echoes. Only register
echoes which can be clearly identified as objects in the tank.

• Make sure that 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 a disturbance echo if the amplitude is significantly smaller
than the amplitude of the surface echo when the surface is at the same
level as the disturbance. (In some cases weak disturbance echoes can
be filtered out by creating a noise threshold table.

• It may be necessary to register new disturbance echoes at a later stage
when objects have become visible due to surface movement.

Bottom Echo Visible This parameter is automatically set depending on tank type and

tank bottom type. By setting this parameter the bottom echo will
be treated as a disturbance echo to facilitate tracking of weak
surface echoes close to the tank bottom. If this parameter is not
set searching for a lost surface echo is restricted to a region
close to the tank bottom. Only set this parameter if the bottom
echo is visible
The figure shows scenarios (checked tanks) where the bottom
echo is visible. Always check if the transmitter shows a value
for the bottom at empty tank before marking the checkbox. Only
flat bottom tanks have checkbox marked as default. Set this
parameter in Advanced Service.
If Empty Tank Handling is set to automatic, the choice of Tank
Bottom Type controls the setting of Bottom Echo Visible. For
Tank Bottom Type flat, the Bottom Echo Visible parameter is
always set.
If the Empty tank Handling function is not set to automatic, the
Bottom Echo Visible parameter is set manually for all tank
types. However, the Tank Bottom Type flat always has Bottom

when the surface echo is lost close to the bottom. If the surface
echo is lost the function makes the transmitter present a

alarm has been blocked.
This function is activated by default if you have selected one of
the following Tank Bottom Types: Cone, Dome, Flat Inclined, or
Unknown. This function also requires that the Bottom Echo
Visible checkbox is not marked. If it is marked the function is
disabled.
The transmitter will search for the surface echo within the
Empty Tank Detection Area. The Empty Tank Detection Area is
calculated as a percentage of Tank Height (R) + Minimum Level
Offset (C) - Distance Offset (G). It has a lower limit of 400 mm
and a higher limit of 1000 mm. Used Empty Tank Detection
Area is shown in Advanced Setup and can be adjusted
manually if required.
Since the transmitter will search for the surface echo in the
Empty Tank Detection Area, it is important that there are no
disturbances in this area. If there are disturbances it may need
to be filtered out. (See “Disturbance Echo Handling” on

this window will not be considered as surface echoes. The
transmitter will immediately jump to the strongest echo inside

If there are rapid level changes in the tank, the value of the
Close Distance Window could be increased to prevent the
transmitter from missing level changes. On the other hand, a
value too large might cause the transmitter to select an invalid
echo as the surface echo.

Double Bounce Possible Some radar waves are reflected against the tank roof and back

to the surface before they are detected by the transmitter.
Normally, these signals have a low amplitude and are therefore
neglected by the transmitter. For spherical and horizontal
cylinder tanks, in some cases the amplitude may be strong
enough to lead the transmitter to interpret the double bounce
as the surface echo. By setting the Double Bounce parameter
this type of measurement situation may be improved. This

function should only be used if the problem of double
bounces can not be solved by changing the mounting
position.

detected double bounces. In order to determine the Double
Bounce Offset, you need to check the spectra of signal
amplitude vs. distance to echo or read the detected echoes
from the display. The distance between double bounces is
constant. By subtracting two times the distance to the surface
level (2A) from the distance to the first double bounce (B) you
will get the Double Bounce Offset. The Double Bounce Offset is
negative if the reflection point (normally the tank roof) is below
the transmitter’s reference point.

Activate Jump Filter If the surface echo is lost and a new surface echo is found, the

Activate Least Square Filter This filter calculates the new level value according to the least

Activate Adaptive Filter The Adaptive Filter is tracking the level fluctuations, and is

should be filtered. A low factor setting will give the new level
value by adding a small portion (for instance 1%) of the level
change to the previous level value. A high factor setting
typically takes the latest measurement and presents it as the
new level. This implies that a low factor setting makes the level
value steady but the transmitter reacts slower to level changes
in the tank. A high factor setting makes the transmitter react
quickly to level changes but the level value can be somewhat
jumpy.

Jump Filter tells the transmitter to wait for some time before it
jumps to the new echo. During that time the new echo has to be
a valid echo. The Jump Filter does not use the Distance Filter
Factor and can be used in parallel to the Least Square Filter or
the Adaptive Filter. The Jump Filter is typically used for
applications with turbulent surface and makes the echo
tracking work smoother as the level passes the agitator.

or emptying of tanks. The level value will follow the surface with
high accuracy and without delay as the level changes. When
the level stabilizes at a certain level, the Least Square Filter
makes the level move somewhat further before it aligns to the
correct level value.

continuously adjusting the filter grade accordingly. The filter can
preferably be used in tanks where fast tracking of level changes
are important, but where turbulence occasionally cause
unstable level values.
