Introduction
Section 1 Introduction
The Rosemount 5900 Radar Level Gauge is designed with functionality that lets you proof test
high alarms and verify correct product surface measurement. The Rosemount 5900 allows you
to combine continuous product level monitoring with proof testing at regular intervals. It is
based on a dedicated Reference Reflector that introduces a radar echo at a predefined position
in the tank.
Figure 1-1. The Rosemount 5900 can be equipped with an optional Reference Reflector that allows proof
testing the gauge on a regular basis.

2.3 Installation considerations
Before you start installing the Reference Reflector, ensure that the following items are
considered in order to fulfill the installation requirements for the Reference Reflector at the
desired position:
Maximum product level in the tank
High Alarm position
Minimum / maximum distance between Gauge Reference Point and Reference
Reflector
See “Tank Geometry - Parabolic Antenna” on page 9 and “Tank Geometry - Array Antenna” on
page 20 for further information on tank geometry and position of the Reference Reflector.
Note
The Reference Reflector for Array Antenna may need to be removed to allow product sampling
through the Still-pipe.

2.4 Installing the Reference Reflector for Parabolic
Antenna
The Reference Reflector is installed under the antenna. It is attached to a wire fixed to the
Parabolic Antenna. The Reference Reflector introduces a radar echo that is used for proof testing
the Rosemount 5900 Radar Level Gauge. Proof testing can be performed without the need to
open the tank.
2.4.1 Reference Reflector Kit
The Reference Reflector is delivered with all parts needed for proper installation on a Rosemount
5900 with Parabolic Antenna. The Reference Reflector kit includes the following parts:
Wire assembly
Weight assembly
Reference Reflector
Ring Clamping assembly

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.
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.
Table 2-1. Reference Reflector Size for Various Distances
3. Mount the appropriate Reference Reflector on the weight.
4. Tighten the M12 nut to a torque value of 18 Nm.
Handle the wire and assembly with care to avoid permanent bends.
Reference Reflector Distance (mm) Diameter (mm)
600  RR Distance < 2000 250
2000  RR Distance < 3000 200

5. Calculate the required Wire Distance. See “Wire Distance calculation” on page 15.
6. Feed the wire through the weight and the Reference Reflector (RR).
7. Position the weight so the calculated Wire Distance is obtained.
8. Tighten the two screws (size M6) to a torque value of 2.5 Nm.
9. Cut the wire. You may leave 0 to 150 mm of the wire below the weight.

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.

Welded tank connection
Use the following formula to calculate the required Wire Distance for the welded connection:
Wire Distance=RR + Ga -W - 194 (mm)
where
W= see Figure 2-8 on page 16
Ga= thickness of the flange gasket (see Figure 2-8 on page 16)
RR= Reference Reflector Distance (see Figure 2-4 on page 9)
