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.
