2.4.3 Installing the Reference Reflector

The length of the wire that holds the Reference Reflector needs to be calculated before the
Reference Reflector can be installed in the tank. The wire must be long enough to allow the
Reflector to be properly positioned in the tank including the weight that is attached under the
Reflector.

Handle the wire and assembly with care to avoid permanent bends.

1. Specify the position of the Reference Reflector (RR) and calculate the Reference

Reflector Distance (see Figure 2-4 on page 9).

2. Choose the appropriate reflector size. As a result of the radar beam geometry, a smaller

reflector can be used further away from the radar gauge. There are four different
Reference Reflectors to choose from depending on the Reference Reflector Distance as
shown in Table 2-1.

Wire Distance calculation

There are two different connections available for the Parabolic Antenna; the Welded and the
Clamped versions. Since the vertical position of the flange will differ slightly for these two
connections, you will have to use different formulas for calculating the proper Wire Distance in
order to obtain the correct position (Reference Reflector Distance) of the Reference Reflector.

3.3 Configuration using TankMaster WinSetup

3.3.1 Introduction

The Rosemount 5900 is configured by using the TankMaster Winsetup configuration program.
WinSetup supports standard configuration of the Rosemount 5900 Radar Level Gauge as well as
configuration of the Reference Reflector for Proof Test applications.

See the Tank Gauging System Configuration Manual
TankMaster WinSetup software to configure a Rosemount Tank Gauging system.

Note

The Proof Test function requires gauge firmware version 1.B9 or higher and Rosemount
TankMaster 6.E1 or higher .

Proof test features

The Rosemount 5900 Proof Test function in TankMaster Winsetup includes the following
functions:

 Configure proof test

 Perform proof test

 View proof test history

 Schedule proof tests

3.3.2 Considerations

The following requirements and recommendations must be considered when using the
Rosemount 5900 Proof Test function:

for more information on using the

30

 Do not perform calibration of Proof Test function during activities in the tank, for

example when it is filled or emptied.

 Do not perform calibration of Proof Test function during extreme environmental

conditions.

 Proof Test calibration must be repeated whenever configuration of tank geometry

parameters has been changed. This may for example include parameters such as
Calibration Distance or Pipe Diameter.

 For Still-Pipes the slots must not be wider than one inch (1”)

3.3.3 Configuration procedure

The Proof Test function needs to be configured prior to any proof test can be performed. This
means calibrating the reference reflector by specifying the actual position of the reflector and
the nominal amplitude of the reflected radar signal.

Configuration also includes setting up the approved amplitude range (Min./Max. Amplitude
Factor) and allowed deviations from the calibrated reflector position (Tolerance). This step
needs to be done for physical as well as simulated reference reflectors.

Ensure that a standard configuration of the Rosemount 5900 is performed prior to the proof test
configuration.

To configure a Rosemount 5900 with Reference Reflector for Proof Test applications do the
following:

1. Ensure that the TankMaster WinSetup program is up and running.

2. In the Winsetup workspace, click the right mouse button on the Rosemount 5900

device icon and select the Proof Test option.

7. In the Calibrate Reference Reflector pane, enter the actual position of the Reference
Reflector (RR) in the RR Distance field. The RR Distance value will be used by the level
gauge as a starting point when searching for the Reference Reflector. A position
between 0.5 m and 8.0 m below the Tank Reference Point is allowed depending on the
antenna type that is used. See Section 2: Installation for more information.

8. Specify the desired Distance Tolerance value. This is the region around the specified
RR Distance within which the level gauge searches for a radar echo when calibrating the
Reference Reflector (see Figure 3-1 on page 38). The default value is 0.3 m.

9. Click the Calibrate button.

Manual Supplement

00809-0200-5900, Rev AC

10. Click Yes. Now the level gauge starts searching for the Reference Reflector. When the
search is finished, the Calibrate window appears showing the distance to the Reference
Reflector and the amplitude of the reflected radar signal.

11. Verify that the radar echo originates from the Reference Reflector and not from any
other object in the tank. The measured Distance and Amplitude values will be used as
reference values when future Proof Tests are performed.

recommended range:

 Rosemount 5900 with Parabolic antenna: 600 to 1200 mV

 Rosemount 5900 with Array antenna (Still-Pipe): 1000 to 3500 mV

 Rosemount 5900 with simulated antenna: approximately 600 mV

14. In case the product surface is too close to the Reference Reflector during the
calibration, a warning message will appear allowing you to choose whether to cancel or
to save the calibration data.

See Section 2: Installation for information on requirements for minimum distance
between Reference Reflector and product surface.

15. If calibration failed you may consider the following:

 Check that the actual position of the reference reflector (RR) is within the search

window given by the calibration parameters RR Distance and Distance Tolerance.

 Verify that the reference reflector is horizontal within the specifications for maximum

inclination (see “Tank Geometry - Parabolic Antenna” on page 9.

 Verify that there are no disturbing objects near the reference reflector that may

interfere.

17. Normally, the default settings of Min./Max. Amplitude Factors and Tolerance can be
used without any changes. Proof tests must be within these limits in order to be
approved. If needed, these settings can be changed.

18. Verify that Reference Reflector Status is OK. RR Status will be OK as long as the actual
distance (Echo Distance) and amplitude (Echo Amplitude) are within the specified
tolerances as specified in the Reference Reflector Settings pane. Click the Apply button
to store the parameters.

19. Specify the desired Default Test Time. This value will be used as the default value in the
Level Sensor Test window. The actual test time can be changed when running the test.

20. If Reference Reflector Status is OK, click the OK button to close the Proof Test
Configuration window. Now the level gauge is ready for Proof Testing.
