Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of
end user’s equipment. This could be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your
system. Restrict physical access by unauthorized personnel to protect end user’s assets. This is true
for all systems used within the facility.

1.2Manual overview
This manual provides installation, configuration, and maintenance information for a Rosemount™
TankMaster
Gauging system with a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub connected to supported level and temperature
measuring devices.
Typically, a Rosemount Tank Gauging Floating Roof Monitoring system is based on using Rosemount
3308 or Rosemount 5408 level transmitters for roof tilt monitoring. Rosemount 5900C radar gauges is
also an option. In addition to that, level gauges and temperature transmitters are used for standard level
measurements and inventory calculations.
Section 2: Overview provides a brief description of the Rosemount Tank Gauging floating roof
monitoring system and recommended installation procedure.
Section 3: Installation covers installation considerations and mechanical installation.
Section 4: Configuration describes how to configure a Rosemount Tank Gauging floating roof monitoring
system by using the Rosemount TankMaster software package.
Section 5: Operation describes how to operate the floating roof system by using various tank view
functions in the Rosemount TankMaster WinOpi program.

Section 6: Service and Troubleshooting covers troubleshooting a Rosemount Tank Gauging floating roof
system.
Appendix A: Commissioning Checklist provides a list of installation and configuration actions to check
The floating roof monitoring function in Rosemount™ TankMaster detects whether a roof in a storage
tank is stuck, sinking, floating higher or lower than normal, covered by water or product, or is tilted.
TankMaster uses three to six tilt gauges to track inclination of a floating tank roof. Roof floating high/low
status may be monitored as well. The monitoring function is based on using Rosemount 3308 wireless
level transmitters mounted on the tank roof, or shell mounted free propagation radar level gauges
measuring distance to the tank roof.
Overview
May 2020
If roof inclination exceeds a maximum alarm limit, TankMaster triggers an alarm. Also, if the tank roof
floats higher or lower than normal, it may indicate that the roof is stuck or is about to sink. An alarm is
triggered in TankMaster if the floating roof passes high or low alarm limits.
One or two extra transmitters can be used to detect if the roof drain gets plugged or if there is any
hydrocarbons (product) present on the tank roof. The drain gauge can be either a Rosemount 3308
wireless transmitter providing an online level value of tank roof drain sump, or a wireless vibrating fork
which will act as a high level alarm switch.
Hydrocarbons may be detected by any hydrocarbon detection system which can provide a digital output
signal to be connected with a Rosemount 702 Wireless Discrete Transmitter.
The roof monitoring function is enabled by an option in the Rosemount TankMaster hardware key. Also,
in TankMaster WinSetup a tank must be configured as a Floating Roof Tank in order to be able to use the
floating roof monitoring function.
Level radars are installed at multiple points, spaced evenly around the perimeter of the roof. The
following installation options are available:
2.1.1Drain sump monitoring and hydrocarbon detection
A drain gauge and/or a hydrocarbon gauge can be added to the floating roof monitoring system. The
drain gauge is installed in the drain sump and detects if the drain clogs and water does not run off.
Rosemount 3308 Wireless Guided Wave Radar or Rosemount 2160 Wireless Vibrating Fork can be used
for drain sump monitoring.
Overview
Installed at the floating roof, the hydrocarbon gauge detects potential hydrocarbons on the roof.
Typically, a Rosemount 702 Wireless Discrete Transmitter with Liquid Hydrocarbon Detection is used.

2.2System overview
The floating roof monitoring function is based on using one of two tilt gauge installation options:
shell mounted at the top of the tank
on the tank roof
The shell mounted version is also suitable for fixed roof tanks with inner floating roof.
2.2.1Shell mounted installation at top of tank
Three to six non-contacting level gauges are installed at the top of the tank. The gauges are mounted on
brackets and measure distance to reflector plate on top of the tank roof.
Roof tilt is monitored by comparing distance to the tank roof measured by the different tilt level gauges.
Tank roof floating high/low calculations can be done by comparing distance to floating roof with
distance to the product surface measured by a reference level gauge in a still-pipe.

2.2.2Installation on tank roof
Three to six tilt gauges are installed on the tank roof. Probes penetrate the tank roof measuring distance
from roof to product surface.
By comparing the distance to the product surface measured by each tilt gauge, both roof tilt and
buoyancy can be monitored.
Wireless Rosemount 3308 tilt gauges communicate with the host system via a repeater at the top of the
tank.
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.
Installation

3.2Installation considerations
Verify that the tank roof is designed to allow tilt gauge installation according to requirements.
Ensure that roof mounted tilt gauges are installed properly to allow reliable measurements when the
roof tilts or sinks.
Ensure that shell mounted tilt gauges are installed at a sufficient distance from the highest roof
position.
See “Mechanical installation” on page 11 for instructions on how to install tilt gauges in a Rosemount
Tank Gauging system.
Note
Local site license may be required for compliance to frequency spectrum approval.

3.3Mechanical installation
The Floating Roof Monitoring system is based on using a number of tilt gauges which measure the
distance to the tank roof. There is also an option which is based on installing level gauges on the tank
roof in order to monitor the distance between tank roof and product surface. Throughout this manual
we will refer to these two versions:
Shell mounted
Roof mounted
3.3.1Installation on tank shell
This option uses three to six tilt gauges mounted on brackets. It is recommended that tilt gauges are
mounted on a bracket arm and not a wide plate.
In case there is a level gauge for product level measurements as well, it can be used as a reference for tank
roof floating high/low calculations.

It is important that each tilt gauge is installed at a position where the roof and reflector can not come
into contact with the antenna.
Ensure that the bracket is long enough to fulfill minimum recommendations for distance from wall to tilt
gauge.
The tilt gauge should be installed at zero degrees vertical inclination as shown in “Inclination” on
page 15.

Reflector design
Installation
May 2020
Shell mounted tilt gauges measure the distance to a reflector
(1)
placed on the tank roof. Ensure that the
reflector meets recommended design specifications in order to prevent contamination build-up. The
gap (B) between ridges will ensure that water and snow can drip off the reflector.
Note
It is recommended to regularly make visual inspections to verify that each reflector is placed in the right
position.
