For stand-alone systems, or as a complement to a PC or a control system,
you can monitor level data using one or two analog outputs depending on the
particular hardware configuration.
As an option, your Rosemount 5600 Radar Level Transmitter can be
equipped with an easy-to-use Rosemount 2210 Display Panel. It offers
basically the same functionality as the Radar Master package. Four sturdy
softkeys give you access to configuration routines, service functions, and
level monitoring.
Measurement Principle
The level of the product in the tank is measured by radar signals transmitted
from the antenna at the tank top. After the radar signal is reflected by the
product 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 product surface, and can be accurately calculated. This
method is called FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and is
used in all high performance radar transmitters.

The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter sends a microwave signal with a
continuously varying frequency towards the product surface. When the
reflected signal returns to the antenna, it is mixed with the outgoing signal.
Since the transmitter continuously changes the frequency of the transmitted
signal, there will be a difference in frequency between the transmitted and the
reflected signals.
The transmitter mixes the two signals, resulting in a low frequency signal
which is proportional to the distance to the product surface. This signal can be
measured very accurately allowing fast, reliable, and accurate level
measurements.
The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter uses micro frequency to reduce
sensitivity to vapor, foam, and contamination of the antenna, and keeps the
radar beam narrow in order to minimize influence from walls and disturbing
objects.
The 5600 Series Radar Level Transmitter uses Fast Fourier Transformation
(FFT), which is a well established signal processing technique, to obtain a
frequency spectrum of all echoes in the tank. From this frequency spectrum
the surface level is extracted. In combination with the echofixer, FFT allows
measurements in tanks with agitators, mixers and other disturbing objects.
The echofixer provides a technique to adapt measurements to various
situations, by using information from previous measurements.

Measuring Range The diagrams below show how the measuring range is influenced 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 color in the diagrams. Values are valid
for free propagation measurement without still-pipes (bridles).
For liquids with εr that are smaller than 1.9 such as liquefied gases, an 8 inch
or bigger diameter antenna is recommended if measurement is done with free
propagation. In this case the measuring range in calm surface tanks is in
typical cases 50 ft. (15 m).
To increase the measuring range further in turbulent tanks, a still-pipe can be
used. For still-pipe mounted 5600 transmitters the typical measuring range is
115-160 ft. (35-50 m) in turbulent tanks with liquids having εr less than 1.9.

Minimum Measuring Distance
The minimum distance the radar can measure depends on the antenna
selected. Typically the level can come as close as 0.79-in. (20 mm) from the
antenna tip, before the software disregards the signal. Being this close to the
antenna may however reduce the measurement accuracy. Table 2-1 on
page 2-3 includes the value Hold Off Distance, which is the default setting for
this minimum distance. It can not be decreased, only increased if needed.
Measuring Close to Tank Bottom
When measuring products with low dielectric constants, i.e. DC range 1.4 -
2.5, some of the radar energy will go thru the product. This could lead to that
the radar will see the Flat Tank Bottom, even though there is a small amount
of product covering the bottom of the tank. This could reduce the accuracy of
the measurement at these lower product levels. This could occur at product
levels of 4-6 inch (100-150 mm) or lower, but depends on the product as well
as the tank bottom type. There are special software settings that could
improve this situation, or alternatively mechanical changes could be
implemented to minimize the influence from the bottom of the tank.

INTRODUCTION This section describes the mechanical installation. Start by reading the
General Installation Requirements for your antenna. This includes Nozzle and
Free Space Requirements. The last part of this section includes mounting
instructions for all antenna types, including special requirements for still
pipe/bridle installations and applications.
Tools The following set of tools are needed for installation of a 5600 Series Radar
Level Transmitter:
• Screw driver.
• Adjustable wrench.
• Allen key.
• Circlip plier (snap ring plier).
• Hook spanner (comes delivered with the transmitter).
GENERAL
INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
Position the transmitter in a way that allows the microwaves to propagate
without disturbance from the tank wall. In order to achieve optimum
performance you should consider the following recommendations:
• Try to avoid obstacles in the radar beam.
• Mount the transmitter away from pipe inlets which cause turbulent
conditions.
• Choose as large antenna as possible to ensure maximum antenna
gain.
• For best measurement performance it is recommended that the
antenna tip ends outside the nozzle, see Figure 2-2.
Customer Supplied
Flanges
The simple design of cone and rod antennas tank connection allows the use
of customer supplied flanges. If a hole is drilled in a standard blind flange the
pressure performance may be reduced. In such a case the flange should be
marked with new rating for Maximum Allowed Working Pressure (MAWP).
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or
serious injury:
Make sure only qualified personnel perform these procedures.
Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the
protection provided by the equipment.
Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are
qualified.
The quartz seal is not suitable for use in environments where there is a risk for variations or
other mechanical impacts.
For quartz seal, mechanical shocks may permanently damage the seal. A damaged tank
seal must be replaced. Replacement must be done when the tank is unpressurized.
The customer must always make sure that exposed material of antenna and tank seal is
compatible with the tank content, e.g. the quartz seal is not suitable for use with
Hydrofluoric acid (HF).
A damaged quartz tank seal will typically cause one or many disturbance echoes which will
be seen in a tank spectrum plot during gauge configuration.
