Measurement principle
The level of the liquid (or solid) is measured by radar
signals transmitted from the antenna at the tank top.
After the radar signal is reected by the liquid surface
the echo is picked up by the antenna. As the signal is
varying in frequency the echo has a slightly different
frequency compared to the signal transmitted at that
moment. The difference in frequency is proportional
to the distance to the liquid, and can be accurately
calculated. This method is called FMCW (Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave) and is used in all high
performance radar gauges.
TankRadar Pro uses the 10 GHz frequency band
to get optimum balance between beamwidth and
sensitivity to antenna contamination.

TankRadar Pro uses state-of-the art microwave
technology to get highest reliability and precision.
It measures the level of liquids, slurries as well as
many solids. The gauge operates in a wide range
of temperatures, pressures, vapor gas mixtures and
various process conditions.
The applications include:
• Storage tanks at reneries and tank terminals
• LPG storage
• Power plants
• Chemical & petrochemical industry
• Pharmaceutical
• Food and beverage
• Water and sewage treatment
• Hydroelectric power generation and dams
• Cement, powder, wood chips and other solid
material applications
Applications in tanks with agitators require a radar gauge
with TankRadar Pro’s high sensitivity and advanced signal
processing to separate the measuring signal from noise
created by disturbances.
Still-pipe or bridle mounting is recommended for LPG
applications, where the surface sometimes is boiling, and for
some extremely turbulent conditions. The pipe reduces foam
and turbulence and also increases surface reection.
TankRadar Pro parabola and cone versions provide free
propagation, high accuracy level measurement in storage
tanks.
Solid materials, like cement, often give extremely small radar
reections, requiring the most sensitive antenna, the 20”
parabolic.

A TankRadar Pro gauge consists of a Transmitter
Head and a tank connection including antenna.
The Transmitter Head, as well as the electronics
inside, is interchangeable without opening the tank.
Transmitter Head versions
The Transmitter Head is available in four basic
versions:
• Lite
Intended for applications in non-hazardous areas
only. Suitable for tanks without internal structures and
agitators, e.g. certain storage tanks, water, dam
applications etc. The Lite version has FFT calculations
enabled providing an instrument accuracy of
± 10 mm (± 0.4 in.). Echoxer, FHAST™ and MET™
are available as options.
• Standard
For hazardous applications in most tanks (also spheri-
cal or bullet tanks, and tanks with internal structures).
The Standard version includes the Echoxer software
which more accurately than standard FFT maps all
microwave interference sources. The Standard
instrument accuracy is ± 10 mm (± 0.4 in.) which can
be improved to ± 5 mm (± 0.2 in.) using the optional
FHAST™ software module.
• Gold
Gold is the most advanced version for difcult
applications in tanks with agitators, heating coils and
other disturbances. It includes the Echoxer software,
FHAST™ software for increased accuracy plus MET™
software for further increased disturbance echo
handling. Instrument accuracy is ± 5 mm (± 0.2 in.).
• Platinum
For high accuracy tank gauging applications, Platinum
is the best TankRadar Pro choice. It includes the
FHAST™ software and selected hardware for
maximum performance. Instrument accuracy is
± 3 mm (± 0.12 in.) for parabolic, still-pipe array and
8-in. cone antennas.
Volume calculation for symmetrical tanks is included
in all versions. Strapping table for non-symmetrical
tanks is available as an option.
Software modules
Various options make it possible to optimize the
gauge for different applications:
• Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT)
Fast Fourier Transformation is a signal processing
technique used to map the echo structure of the tank.
• Echoxer
A software module that makes it possible to measure on
the surface in spite of strong disturbance echoes from
mechanical structures such as agitators and bafes.
• Fast High Accuracy Signal Technology (FHAST™)
A module that improves the efciency of the signal
processing by limiting the region to be analyzed around
the surface. This results in an improved accuracy of
± 5 mm (± 0.2 in.).
• Multiple Echo Tracking (MET™)
Improves the resolution and accuracy in echo disturbed
regions and close to the tank bottom. Continuous
measurement on multiple disturbing echoes facilitates
identication of the actual surface echo.
All software options are possible to upgrade in the
eld without any changes in electronics. Upgrades
are made by entering a new start code in the gauge
and can be done on a temporary basis for trial
purposes.

large antenna diameter as possible.
Cone antenna
The cone antenna is suitable for liquid applications.
It can be used for both free propagation and still-pipe
mounted installations. Thanks to the unique ange
clamp solution the existing tank ange can be used
as tank connection. The gauge can also be delivered
with ange included.
• Standard cone antennas for 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-in. tank
openings. The 3-, 4- and 6-in. cones can be extended
to t long tank nozzles. See pages 24-32, “Ordering
Information”, for standard ange options.
• A 1- and 2-in. version is available together with a
still-pipe solution.
• For larger pipes, use the still-pipe array antennas.
• Materials exposed to the tank atmosphere:

Still-pipe Array antenna
The Still-pipe Array Antenna with its small-sized
antenna is designed for mounting on existing still-
pipes. Typical applications are crude oil tanks with
oating roofs and gasoline/product tanks with or
without inner oating roofs.
The gauge uses a unique patented Low Loss Mode
to transmit the radar waves in the center of the pipe.
This virtually eliminates degradation of the accuracy
due to rust and product deposits inside the pipe.
The Still-pipe Array Antenna is available in two
models, the xed and the hinged-lid version.
The still-pipe must be vertical within 0.5° (0.2 m over
20 m) to obtain highest measurement accuracy.
• Suitable for mounting on existing still-pipes.
• Small-sized antenna for 5-, 6-, 8-, 10- or 12-in.

The diagrams below show how the measuring
range is inuenced by the antenna type, dielectric
constant of the liquid (εr) and the process conditions.
For optimum performance the maximum measuring
distance should be kept within the range indicated
with darker colour in the diagrams. To increase the
measuring range further in turbulent tanks, a still-
pipe can be used.

For still-pipe mounted Pro gauges the typical
measuring range is 35-50 m (115-160 ft) also in
turbulent tanks with liquids having εrless than 1.9.
NOTE:
• For liquids with εr smaller than 1.9, such as liqueed
gas, an 8-in. or bigger antenna is recommended for
free propagation measurements. In this case, the typical
measuring range is 15 m (50 ft).
• The measuring range for 4- and 6-in. process seal
antennas equals about 60% of that for 4- and 6-in.

The TankRadar Pro gauge is easily carried to the
tank top and mounted on a suitable nozzle or pipe.
Free propagation
The gauge should be installed as follows:
• Antenna oriented perpendicular to a horizontal
surface.
• The gauge should be mounted with as few
disturbing objects as possible within the beam
angle.
• Filling inlets creating turbulence should
preferably be kept at a distance.
• Choose as large antenna diameter as possible.
A larger receiving area concentrates the radar
beam and ensures maximum antenna gain.
Increased antenna gain means greater margin
for weak surface echoes.
• The cone antenna may be inclined 1-2°
towards the center of the tank to increase the
accuracy (applicable for tanks higher than
10 m).

The at tank wall can be located within the antenna
beam angle, as long as there is a minimum distance
from the gauge to the tank wall, see picture above.
An extended cone (picture on the right) can be used
for long nozzles.
The standard length of the extended cone is
500 mm (20 in.) for 3-, 4- or 6-in. cone antennas.
Longer cones are available on request.
For best measurement
performance the nozzle height
should be shorter than the

Pipe installation
Still-pipe installation is particularly suitable for
applications with highly turbulent liquids or liquids
with very low εr giving weak radar reections, such
as LPG. 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-in cone antennas can be
mounted in existing still-pipes.
Used pipes must generally be clean inside, without
irregularities, rust or excessive holes.
Also available is a 1-in. still-pipe and antenna
assembly with a maximum range of 3 m (10 ft).
The 1- and 2-in. still-pipe gauges are suitable for
clean liquids only and can be delivered complete
with still-pipe, deection plate and ttings without
any need for welding.
It is also possible to use the Still-pipe Array antenna
for measurement inside an existing still-pipe.
This antenna is available in 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-in.,
xed and hinged-hatch designs.
Consult Emerson Process Management /
Rosemount Tank Gauging or an authorized
distributor for installation advice.
Electrical connections
The Transmitter Head has two separate junction
boxes. One is for a non-intrinsically safe primary
signal output and power supply cables. The other
is normally used for intrinsically safe (IS) HART®/
analog outputs or optionally for a non-IS analog
output.
Outputs can be either active or passive depending
on required options.
Cables are twisted and shielded pairs, minimum
0.5 mm2 (AWG 20), ½-in. NPT (threaded) for cable
glands or male conduit ttings.
For complete installation instructions,
see the Reference Manual for TankRadar Pro
(306010E).
