SERVICE SUPPORT To expedite the return process outside of the United States, contact the
nearest Rosemount representative.
Within the United States, call the Rosemount National Response Center using
the 1-800-654-RSMT (7768) toll-free number. This center, available 24 hours
a day, will assist you with any needed information or materials.
The center will ask for product model and serial numbers, and will provide a
Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The center will also ask for the
process material to which the product was last exposed.
Rosemount National Response Center representatives will explain the
additional information and procedures necessary to return goods exposed to
hazardous substance can avoid injury if they are informed of and understand
the hazard. If the product being returned was exposed to a hazardous
substance as defined by Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), a copy of the required Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each
hazardous substance identified must be included with the returned goods.

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

COMPONENTS OF THE
TRANSMITTER
The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter has a die-cast aluminum
housing which contains advanced electronics for signal processing.
The radar electronics produces the electromagnetic pulse that is emitted
through the antenna. There are different antenna types and sizes available for
various applications.
The transmitter head has separate compartments for electronics and
terminals. The head can be removed without opening the tank. The head has
two entries for conduit/cable connections.
The tank connection consists of a Tank Seal and a flange
(ANSI, EN (DIN) or JIS).

SYSTEM
ARCHITECTURE
The 5400 Series Radar Level Transmitter is a powerful radar level transmitter
suitable for non-contact level measurements in process tanks and other types
of tanks. It is designed for easy installation and maintenance free operation.
The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter is loop-powered which
means it uses the same two wires for both power supply and FOUNDATIONTM
fieldbus signal. For HART®based systems the output is a 4-20 mA analog
signal superimposed with a digital HART signal.
The Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter can easily be configured by
using a PC and the Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) software package or via
a 375 Field Communicator. RRM offers configuration and service capabilities
and functions for presentation of measurement data. The transmitter is also
compatible with the AMS™Suite software which can be used for
configuration.

PROCESS
CHARACTERISTICS
Dielectric constant The reflectivity of the product is a key parameter for measurement
performance. A high dielectric constant of the media gives better reflection
and thus enables a longer measuring range.
Foam How well the Rosemount 5400 Series Radar Transmitter measures in foamy
applications depends upon the properties of the foam; light and airy or dense
and heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy
the transmitter will probably measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is
less conductive the microwaves will probably 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 is dependent upon the frequency, the antenna size, the dielectric of the
material and the degree of turbulence. Consult Table 2-1 on page 2-5 and
Table 2-2 on page 2-5 for the expected maximum range with the variables
listed.
Temperature/Pressure/
Density and Vapor
Temperature and pressure generally have no impact on measurements.
Measurements are also insensensitive to product density and vapor.
Condensation For applications where heavy condensation 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 3-8.

ANTENNA SELECTION
GUIDE/MEASURING
RANGE
The measuring range primarily depends on the antenna type and size, the
dielectric constant (εr) of the liquid and process conditions. For optimum
performance, make sure not to exceed the maximum measuring range values
below.
A. Oil, gasoline and other hydrocarbons, petrochemicals (εr=1.9-4.0).
B. Alcohols, concentrated acids, organic solvents, oil/water mixtures and
acetone (εr=4.0-10.0).
C. Conductive liquids, e.g. water based solutions, dilute acids and alkalis
(εr>10.0).
