THEORY OF OPERATION
The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is a smart, two-wire
continuous level transmitter. A 5400 transmitter is installed at the top of the
tank and emits short microwave pulses towards the product surface in the
tank. When a pulse reaches the surface, 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, which calculates the level.
The product level is related to the tank height and the measured distance by
the following expression:
Level = Tank Height - Distance.

5400 Series.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Tanks, vessels, and containers with calm surfaces
Non-contacting radar can also be used in less
challenging applications, such as storage and buffer
tanks:
•
It is easy to mount, maintenance-free, and highly
accurate
•
Gives precise monitoring and control of the
process
Overfill and underfill detection
The Rosemount 5400 Series can be advantageous in
risk reduction systems:

Continuous measurement may reduce or simplify
proof-tests
•
Multiple 5400s can be used in the same tank
Corrosives
Radar measurement is ideal for most corrosive products,
such as caustics, acids, solvents and many other
chemicals:
•
Does not contact the process product
•
Wide material offering such as PTFE, Alloy C-276
and Alloy 400
•
Works well in non-metallic tanks also
Sticky, viscous and crystallizing products
The best-in-class Rosemount 5400 Series provides an
accurate and reliable level reading with difficult products,
such as resins and adhesives:
•
Non-contacting is best practice
•
Almost unaffected by coating and build-up
because of the uniquely designed condensation
resistant antennas
Sludges and slurries
Applications like mud, pulp-stock and lime slurries are
ideal for non-contacting measurement:
•
Immune to splashing and solids content
•
Unaffected by density changes
•
No re-calibration, no or little maintenance

makes it an excellent choice for the most difficult
applications, such as reactor vessels:
•
Unique circular polarization provides greater
mounting flexibility – no tank wall clearance
distance is needed
•
Direct measurement – independent of most
variations in process conditions, such as density,
dielectric, vapor, temperature, and pressure
•
Can handle turbulent conditions created by
agitation, top-filling, or process reaction
Mounting flexibility
The versatile Rosemount 5400 Series can be used in
mounting configurations other than standard nozzles:
•

SYSTEM
ARCHITECTURE
The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered, and uses
the same two wires for power supply and output signal. The output is a
4-20 mA analog signal superimposed with a digital HART signal.
By using the optional HART Tri-loop, the HART signal can be converted up to
three additional 4-20 mA analog signals.
With the HART protocol multidrop configuration is possible. In this case,
communication is restricted to digital, since current is fixed to the 4 mA
minimum value.
The transmitter can be connected to a Rosemount 751 Field Signal Indicator,
or it can be equipped with an integral display.
The transmitter can easily be configured using a 375 Field Communicator or a
PC with the Rosemount Radar Master software. Rosemount 5400 Series
transmitters can also be configured with the AMS® Suite and DeltaV™
software, and other tools that support Electronic Device Description
Language (EDDL) functionality.
For HART communication a minimum load resistance of 250within the loop
is required.

PROCESS
CHARACTERISTICS
Dielectric constant
A key parameter for measurement performance is reflectivity. A high dielectric
constant of the media provides better reflection and enables a longer
measuring range.
Foam
Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter measurement in foamy
applications depends on the foam properties; light and airy or dense and
heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy, the
transmitter may measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is less
conductive, the microwaves may 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 depends on the frequency, the antenna size, the dielectric of the
material, and the degree of turbulence. Consult Tables 2-1 and 2-2 on page
2-7 for the expected maximum range with the variables listed.
Temperature/Pressure/
Density and Vapor
Temperature, pressure, product density and vapor generally have no impact
on measurements.
Condensation
For applications where heavy condensation and vapors 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 3-12.

ANTENNA SELECTION
GUIDE/MEASURING
RANGE
The measuring range depends on the microwave frequency, antenna size,
the dielectric constant (r) of the liquid, and process conditions. A higher
dielectric constant value produces a stronger reflection. The figures in the
tables below are guidelines for optimum performance. Larger measuring
ranges may be possible. For more information, contact your local Emerson
Process Management representative.
A. Oil, gasoline or other hydrocarbons, and petrochemicals (r = 1.9-4.0).
In pipes or with ideal surface conditions, for some liquefied
gases (r = 1.4-4.0)
B. Alcohols, concentrated acids, organic solvents, oil/water mixtures, and
acetone (r = 4.0-10.0).
C. Conductive liquids, e.g. water based solutions, dilute acids, and alkalis
(r > 10.0).

The obstruction should not be within the radar beam. Preferred choices due to more narrow radar beam: Model 5402, and cone antenna.
(2)
An extended cone antenna can be used.
(3)
The active part must protrude beneath the nozzle.
(4)
Build-up can often be avoided or reduced by using heat-tracing or cleaning arrangements.
(5)
Use a 6 or 8 in. (150-200 mm) cone antenna.
(6)
Foam can either reflect, be invisible, or absorb the radar signal. Pipe mounting is advantageous since it reduces the foaming tendency.

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.
Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in death or
serious injury
•
Make sure only qualified personnel perform installation or service.
•
Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
•
Any substitution of non-recognized spare parts may jeopardize safety. Repair,
e.g. substitution of components etc. may also jeopardize safety and is under no
circumstances allowed.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury
•
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations specifications.
•
In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter
cover when power is applied to the unit.
•
Before connecting a HART® based communicator in an explosive atmosphere,
make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury
•
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present
on leads can cause electrical shock.
•
Make sure the main power to the 5400 Series transmitter is off and the lines to
any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring
the transmitter.
Antennas with non-conducting surfaces
•
Antennas with non-conducting surfaces (e.g. Rod antenna and Process Seal
antenna) may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under
extreme conditions.
Therefore, when the antenna is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.

MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
Before installing a Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter, consider specific
mounting requirements, vessel, and process characteristics.
Mounting Location
For optimal performance, the transmitter should be installed in locations with
a clear and unobstructed view of the level surface (A):
•
Filling inlets creating turbulence (B), and stationary metallic objects with
horizontal surfaces (C) should be kept outside the signal beam – see
page 3-10 for beamwidth information
•
Agitators with large horizontal blades may reduce the performance of
the transmitter, so install the transmitter in a location where this effect is
minimized. Vertical or slanted blades are often invisible to radar, but
create turbulence (D)
•
Do not install the transmitter in the center of the tank (E)
•
Because of circular polarization, there is no clearance distance
requirement from the tank wall if it is flat and free of obstructions such
as heating coils and ladders (F). Usually, the optimal location is 1/4 of
the diameter from the tank wall
Figure 3-1. It is important to
consider the proper mounting
position.
•
The antenna is normally aligned vertically

•
A metal still-pipe can be used to avoid disturbing objects, turbulence,
and foam (G)
Figure 3-2. Mounting in still-pipe
•
The walls in non-metallic tanks are invisible to the radar signal, so
nearby objects outside of the tank may be detected
•
Choose the largest possible antenna diameter for installation. A larger
antenna concentrates the radar beam, and will be less susceptible to
obstruction interference, and assures maximum antenna gain
•
Multiple 5400 transmitters can be used in the same tank without
interfering with each other (H)

Nozzle Considerations
Special considerations may have to be taken because of the nozzle,
depending on the selection of transmitter model and antenna.
5402 with Cone Antenna
The antenna can be recessed in smooth nozzles up to 6 ft (2 m). If the inside
of the nozzle contains disturbing objects, use the extended cone (I).
Figure 3-4. Nozzle
considerations for 5402 with
Cone Antenna.
5402 with Process Seal Antenna
The antenna can be used on nozzles up to 6 ft (2 m), (J). Disturbing objects
inside the nozzle (K) may impact the measurement, and should therefore be
avoided.
The flange on the tank should have a flat or raised face. Other tank flanges
may be possible, please consult your local Emerson Process Management
representative for advice.

Still-pipes in Metallic Materials
If used correctly, pipe measurement can be advantageous in many
applications:
•
Use cone or process seal antennas – not the rod antenna
•
The gap between the cone antenna and the still-pipe is limited to 0.2 in.
(5 mm). If required, order an oversized antenna and cut on location (N).
Only applicable to 5401 cone antennas and cone antennas with wetted

Rosemount 5400 Series
Install the transmitter as follows:
•
Align the antenna vertically
•
Choose the largest antenna diameter possible. A larger receiving area
concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain.
Increased antenna gain permits greater margin for weak surface
echoes. A larger antenna also results in smaller beam angle and
thereby, less interference from any internal structures in the tank
•
For best measurement performance, the antenna should extend below
the nozzle 0.4 in. (10 mm) or more
For more information, see “Nozzle Considerations” on page 3-5.
Service Space
For easy access to the transmitter, mount it with sufficient service space.
There is no requirement on clearance distance from the tank wall, provided it
is flat and free of obstructions such as heating coils and ladders. The optimal
location is often 1/4 of the tank diameter.

Beamwidth
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 if there
is a minimum distance from the transmitter to the tank wall (see
Figure 3-10 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 5-4).
Disturbing Objects
The Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter should be mounted so that objects
such as heating coils, ladders, etc. are not in 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 from disturbing objects where such objects cannot be
totally avoided.
The Rosemount 5402 has a more narrow radar beam that is particularly
suitable in installations with tall or narrow nozzles, or nozzles close to the tank
wall. It may also be used to avoid disturbing objects in the tank.
Valves
The 5400 Series transmitter can be isolated from the process by using a
valve:
•
Use a full-port ball valve
•
The 5402 is required, and the Process Seal Antenna is the preferred
choice, since it does not require a spool piece. The cone antenna can
also be used
•
Ensure there is no edge between the ball valve and the nozzle/pipe,
the inside should be smooth
Valves can be combined with pipes.

GROUNDING
The housing should always be grounded according to 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!
Using the threaded conduit connection for grounding may not be sufficient!
NOTE!
After installation and commissioning, make sure that no ground currents exist
from high ground potential differences in the installation.
CABLE SELECTION
Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5400 Series. The cables
must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous
areas, where applicable. For instance, in the U.S., explosion-proof 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 to minimize the voltage drop to the transmitter.
HAZARDOUS AREAS
When the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter is installed in a hazardous
area, all national and local regulations and specifications in applicable
certificates must be observed.
EXTERNAL CIRCUIT
BREAKER
For complicance with Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEG, an external circuit
breaker should be installed.
POWER

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 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 that can be
used to handle special tank conditions and applications. For further
information on advanced configuration options, see “Advanced Configuration”
on page C-1.
Basic Configuration
Parameters
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
•
Analog Output
•
Echo Tuning: see page 5-10 for more information on the ATC, and
“Registration of False Echoes” on page 7-7 for more information on
False Echo Registration
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 “Basic Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master” on
page 5-11 for information on using RRM to configure the 5400 Series.
•
Rosemount 375 Field Communicator.
See “Configuration Using a 375 Field Communicator” on page 5-21 for
the Field Communicator Menu Tree.
•
AMS Suite software.
See “Basic Configuration Using AMS Suite” on page 5-24 for
information on configuring AMS Suite.
RRM is a user-friendly, Windows® based software package that includes
waveform plots, off-line/on-line configuration Wizard, logging, and extensive
on-line help.
To communicate with the transmitter using RRM, a MACTek Viator HART
modem (see “Other Accessories” on page A-24) is recommended.

BASIC CONFIGURATION
PARAMETERS
This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a
Rosemount 5400 transmitter. If the transmitter is factory-configured according
to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further basic
configuration is needed unless conditions have changed since the ordering
date.
Different configuration tools are described at the end of this section.
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 5-2 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.

Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type
The 5400 transmitter is optimized according to the Tank Type and Tank
Bottom Type configuration by automatically setting some parameters to
predefined default values.
Select Tank Bottom Type Flat Inclined if the bottom inclination is between 10
and 30 degrees. If the inclination is less than 10 degrees, but there are
disturbing objects on the tank floor (like heating coils) within the radar beam,
this selection should also be used. If the inclination is greater than 30
degrees, use the Cone Tank Bottom Type.

Rosemount 5400 Series
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 gives a
scale factor error. If locally supplied still-pipes are used, make sure the inner
diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.
Transition Zone
The measurement accuracy is reduced within the Transition Zone region 6 in.
(150 mm) from the lower end of the antenna. It is recommended that the
Upper Range Value (20 mA) be set outside the Transition Zone, areas where
measurements are not recommended.
Process Conditions
Describe the conditions of the tank according to the Tank Environment
parameters for Process Conditions listed below. For best performance,
choose only if applicable, and no more than two options.
Rapid Level Changes
Optimize the transmitter for measurement conditions where the level changes
quickly from the filling and emptying of the tank. As a default standard, a 5400
transmitter is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 in./s (40 mm/s). When
the Rapid Level Changes check-box is selected, the transmitter can track
level changes of up to 8 in./s (200 mm/s).
Turbulent Surface
This parameter should be used if the tank has 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 improve 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 foam’s upper surface.
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 properly, even if the actual Dielectric
Constant differs from the configured value.

Volume Configuration
For volume calculations, choose one of the standard tank shapes or the
strapping option. Select None if volume calculation is not used. For the
standard tanks, a Volume Offset parameter can be specified which can be
used for a non-zero volume that corresponds to the zero level. This may be
useful, for example, if the user wants to include the product volume below the
zero level.
Volume calculation is performed by using a predefined tank shape or a
strapping table. One of the following standard tank shapes can be chosen:
•
Sphere
•
Vertical Cylinder
•
Horizontal Cylinder
•
Vertical Bullet
•
Horizontal Bullet
The following parameters must be entered for a standard tank shape:
•
Tank diameter
•
Tank height (not for spherical tanks)
•
Volume Offset

Strapping Table
The Strapping Table option is 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 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.
Figure 5-5. Strapping points
Actual tank bottom may look like this.
Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume
profile that is more angular than the actual shape.
Using 10-15 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a
level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom.

Analog Output
For the analog output. the Output Source (Primary Value), Range Values, and
Alarm Mode are specified.
Figure 5-6. Standard Range
Value settings.
Output Source/Primary Variable
Specify the source to control the analog output. Typically, the Primary Value is
configured to be the Product Level.
Upper/Lower Range Value
Enter the range values that correspond to the analog output values 4 and 20
mA. The 20 mA point should be set below the Transition Zone, since the
measurement accuracy is reduced in this region. For information on the
Transition Zone, see “Specifications” on page A-1.
If a measured value goes beyond the measurement range, the transmitter
enters saturation mode (if limit alarm is disabled) or alarm mode, depending
on the current configuration.
Alarm Mode
Choose the desired Alarm mode to specify the analog output state when there
is a failure or a measurement error.
High: the output current is set to the High Alarm Limit.
Low: the output current is set to the Low Alarm Limit.
Freeze Current: the output current is set to the last valid value at the time
when the error occurs.

Echo Tuning
When Basic Configuration is performed, the transmitter may need to be tuned
to handle disturbing objects in the tank. There are different methods available
for handling disturbance echoes with the Rosemount 5400 Series
Transmitter:
•
Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC)
•
False Echo registration, see “Registration of False Echoes” on
page 7-7
The Guided Setup in the Rosemount Radar Master configuration program
includes a Measure and Learn function which automatically registers false
echoes and creates an ATC (see “Guided Setup” on page 5-15).
The created ATC is based on the present tank spectra and process condition
settings. Disturbances below the product surface might not be handled by the
Measure and Learn function.

Amplitude Threshold
Curve
Setting up an ATC makes tracking of the product surface more robust in the
presence of noise and weak disturbing echoes. The ATC is normally used for
filtering out disturbances with an amplitude smaller than the amplitude of the
product surface echo.
The ATC is designed as a number of individually adjustable amplitude
threshold points.
Figure 5-7. Weak disturbing
echoes can be filtered out by
creating an amplitude threshold.
The Amplitude Threshold Curve function is available in the Rosemount Radar
Master (RRM) program.

SERVICE OVERVIEW
The functions mentioned in this section are available in the Rosemount Radar
Master (RRM) configuration program.
ANALYZING THE
MEASUREMENT SIGNAL
Rosemount Radar Master (RRM), and other tools using enhanced Electronic
Device Description Language (EDDL), has powerful functions for advanced
troubleshooting. By using the Echo Curve plot function, an instant view of the
tank signal is displayed. Measurement problems can be resolved by studying
the position and amplitude of the different pulses.
Figure 7-1. The Echo Curve
presents all visible echoes.
In a typical measurement situation, the following pulses appear in the
diagram:
Reference. This pulse is caused by the transition between transmitter head
and antenna and it is used by the transmitter as a reference at level
measurements.
A missing reference pulse might be a symptom of a malfunctioning
transmitter. Contact your local Emerson Process Management representative
for assistance.
Product surface. This pulse is caused by a reflection on the product surface.
Different amplitude thresholds are used to filter out unwanted signals and pick
up different pulses. The transmitter uses certain criteria to decide which type
of pulse that is detected.
Echoes found above the Surface Threshold might be considered the product
surface.
Surface Threshold. The amplitude threshold used for detecting the Product
level peak. The amplitude threshold is designed as a number of individually
adjustable amplitude threshold points, the Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC).
See “Amplitude Threshold Curve” on page 5-11.
The ATC is set during the Measure and Learn function and can be adjusted
manually. The ATC is used for filtering out disturbances with an amplitude
smaller than the product surface echo.

The surface thresholds should be set to approximately 20% of the measured
signal amplitude of the product surface.
False Echo Area. False Echo Areas are set during the Measure and Learn
function (see “Guided Setup” on page 5-15), when the disturbing object is
larger than the surface echo. The False Echo Area can be adjusted manually.
Hold Off Distance - Upper Null Zone. Measurements are not performed
within the Hold Off Distance. By setting the Hold Off Distance to zero,
measurements can be performed close to the flange. Consider near zone
accuracy. See “Near Zone Accuracy” on page A-1.
Tank Bottom. Measurements are not performed after the Tank Bottom limit.
SURFACE PULSE NOT
FOUND
The amplitude thresholds are adjusted manually or during the Measure and
Learn function to appropriate values to filter out noise and other non-valid
measurements from the measurement signal.
The amplitude of the measurement signal, i.e. the amplitude of the signal
reflected by the product surface, is related to the actual dielectric constant of
the product.
Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) has a plot function that allows viewing of the
reflections in the tank.
If the amplitude threshold is too high, the product level will not be detected, as
illustrated in Figure 7-2. In a situation like this, the amplitude threshold is
lowered so that the Surface peak is not filtered out.
Figure 7-2. Example 1: surface
threshold is too high.
If there are disturbing objects in the tank, the threshold must be set carefully
to avoid locking on the wrong amplitude peak. In Figure 7-3, the transmitter
has locked on a peak above the actual product surface, i.e. a disturbance was
interpreted as the product surface.

Registration of False
Echoes
The False Echo function improves the performance of the gauge when the
surface is close to a horizontal surface of a static 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 may interfere and cause a
decrease in performance.
Figure 7-5. The Rosemount
5400 can handle disturbing
radar echoes.
The False Echo function allows registration of disturbing echoes caused by
objects in the tank. When the surface is passing a disturbing object, the
transmitter measures with higher reliability if 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.
Follow these recommendations before registering new interfering echoes:
•
Make sure a correct amplitude threshold curve is set before registering
any disturbance echoes (see “Amplitude Threshold Curve” on
page 5-11)
•
Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or visual
inspection of the tank. Note any 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 registering a disturbance echo. A
fluctuating level may indicate a temporary disturbance that is not from
an interfering object
•
Do not register False Echoes located below the product surface. It is
recommended that registration be done when the tank is empty

USING THE ECHO
CURVE ANALYZER
The Echo Curve in Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) shows the measurement
signal amplitude in the tank and includes the Echo Tuning functionality (see
“Echo Tuning” on page 5-10 for more information on false echo handling).
To plot the measurement signal:
1. Start the Rosemount Radar Master program.
2. Open Device Config/Tools (or Device Config/Setup).
3. Click the Echo Curve icon (see Figure 7-7).
Figure 7-7. The Echo Curve
function is a useful tool for signal
analysis.
4. The Echo Curve Analyzer window appears with the View/Record Mode
tab (or the Configuration Mode tab) selected.

The Configuration Mode
Tab
The Configuration Mode tab allows for adjustment of the different amplitude
thresholds. When clicking the Echo Curve icon under Device Config/Setup,
the Echo Curve Analyzer window appears with the Configuration Mode tab
selected:
Figure 7-8. Echo Curve Analyzer
plot in Configuration mode.
The Measure and Learn function in Rosemount Radar Master automatically
creates an Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC) used by the 5400 transmitter to
find the surface pulse. The ATC is adapted to the shape of the measurement
signal as described in “Echo Tuning” on page 5-10.
To create an Amplitude Threshold Curve (ATC), click the Learn button in the
Echo Curve Analyzer/Configuration Mode window. By clicking the Learn
button, the Measure and Learn function is activated and creates an ATC that
filters out all disturbing echoes. The ATC can also be edited manually if further
fine tuning is needed.
The Configuration Mode window also allows the changing of the amplitude
thresholds manually, simply by dragging the corresponding anchoring points
in the plot to the desired positions.
Note that by changing the amplitude thresholds in the Echo Curve plot
manually, the Automatic mode is disabled for the corresponding threshold.
The Set Thresholds button sets the ATC to a fixed value based on the
configured Dielectric Constant of the product.
To register a false echo, right-click and select Register as false echo.
