  • Page 29: Installation Considerations

    3.2.1 Horn antenna requirements The Rosemount 5900S with Horn Antenna must be installed so that there are no pipes or other obstacles that could prevent the radar beam from reaching the tank bottom unobstructed. There are two flanges available; a horizontal flange for vertical installation, and an inclined flange for installation close to the tank wall.

  • Page 30
    In case a vertical antenna axis installation is not possible without the tank wall penetrating the radar beam, the Rosemount 5900S has to be directed away from the wall by using the 4° flange. The inclination is necessary to ensure maximum accuracy.
  • Page 31
    Horizontal flange Rx0.2 (R=tank reference height) 4° flange In exceptional cases the Rosemount 5900S with Horn Antenna can be installed closer to the tank wall if required. Please contact Emerson Automation Solutions/Rosemount Tank Gauging for advice. In certain cases, when maximum accuracy is not required, the horizontal flange can be used even if the wall intrudes into the radar beam.
  • Page 32
    Parabolic antenna requirements Inclination The inclination of the Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna should not exceed 1.5 ° towards the center of the tank. For products with high condensation such as bitumen/ asphalt applications, the radar beam should be directed vertically without any inclination.

RECYCLING/

DISPOSAL

Recycling of equipment and packaging should be taken into consideration

and disposed of in accordance with local and national legislation/regulations.

The label below is put on Rosemount Tank Gauging products as a

recommendation to customers if scrapping is considered.

Recycling or disposal should be done following instructions for correct

separation of materials when breaking up the units.

1.6 PACKING

MATERIAL

Rosemount Tank Radar AB is fully certified according to ISO 14000

environmental standards. By recycling the plywood boxes material used for

shipping our products you can contribute to take care of the environment.

1.6.1 Reuse Experience has shown that NEFAB ExPak packaging can be used 4-5 times.

1.6.2 Recycling After careful disassembly the plywood sides may be reused. Metal waste may

be converted.

1.6.3 Energy recovery Products which have served their time may be divided into wood and metal

components and the wood can be used as fuel in sufficient ovens.

Due to its low moisture content (approximately 7%) this fuel has a higher

calorific value than ordinary wood fuel (moisture content approximately 20%).

When burning interior plywood the nitrogen in the adhesives may increase

emissions of nitrogen oxides to the air 3-4 times more than when burning bark

and splinter.

NOTE!

Landfill is not a recycling option and should be avoided.

2.1 INTRODUCTION The Rosemount 5900 is a two-wire radar level gauge for high accuracy

non-contact measurements. The gauge continously emits a radar signal with

varying frequency towards the product surface. This allows very accurate

level measurements by processing the different frequencies between the

emitted and received radar signals.

The Rosemount 5900 is an integral part of the flexible Rosemount Raptor

system. The advanced and robust design makes it suitable for a vast range of

applications. It is capable of high accuracy level measurements as well as

handling obstacles that may interfere with measurement signals.

Figure 2-1. System integration

The Rosemount 5900 delivers measurement data and status information to a

Rosemount 2410 tank hub via the intrinsically safe Tankbus.

Data from a group of tanks is buffered by a 2160 Field Communication Unit

(FCU), and is distributed via the Group Bus to a TankMaster PC, or a host

system, whenever the FCU receives a request for data.

2.3 SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

Rosemount Raptor is a revolutionary, state-of-the art, inventory and custody

transfer radar tank level gauging system. It is developed for a wide range of

applications at refineries, tank farms and fuel depots, and fulfills the highest

requirements on performance and safety.

The Rosemount Raptor product portfolio includes a wide range of

components to build small or large customized tank gauging systems. The

system includes various devices, such as radar level gauges, temperature

transmitters, and pressure transmitters for complete inventory control. Such

systems are easily expanded thanks to the modular design.

Rosemount Raptor is a versatile system that is compatible with and can

emulate all major tank gauging systems. Moreover, the well-proven emulation

capability enables step-by-step modernization of a tank farm, from level

gauges to control room solutions.

It is possible to replace old mechanical or servo gauges with modern

Rosemount Raptor gauges, without replacing the control system or field

cabling. It is further possible to replace old HMI/SCADA-systems and field

communication devices without replacing the old gauges.

There is a distributed intelligence in the various system units which

continously collect and process measurement data and status information.

When a request for information is received an immediate response is sent

with updated information.

The field devices on the tank communicate over the intrinsically safe

Rosemount Raptor Tankbus. The Tankbus is based on a standardized

fieldbus, the FISCO(1) FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, and allows integration of any

device supporting that protocol. By utilizing a 2-wire field bus the power

consumtion is minimized. The standardized field bus also enables integration

of other vendors’ equipment on the tank.

The flexible Rosemount Raptor system supports several combinations to

achieve redundancy, from control room to the different field devices.

Redundant network configuration can be achived at all levels by doubling

each unit and using multiple control room work stations.

Section 2. Overview

TankMaster HMI Software

TankMaster is a powerful Windows-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) for

complete tank inventory management. It provides configuration, service,

set-up, inventory, and custody transfer functions for Rosemount Raptor

systems and other supported instruments.

TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft® Windows XP and Vista

environment providing easy access to measurement data from your Local

Area Network.

The TankMaster WinOpi program lets the operator monitor measured tank

data. It includes alarm handling, batch reports, automatic report handling,

historical data sampling as well as inventory calculations such as Volume,

Observed Density and other parameters. A plant host computer can be

connected for further processing of data.

The TankMaster WinSetup program is a graphical user interface for

installation, configuration and service of the different devices in the

Rosemount Raptor system.

Rosemount 2160 Field Communication Unit

The 2160 field communication unit (FCU) is a data concentrator that

continuously polls and stores data from field devices such as radar level

gauges and temperature transmitters in a buffer memory. Whenever a request

for data is received, the FCU can immediately send data from a group of tanks

from the updated buffer memory.

Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub

The Rosemount 2410 tank hub acts as a power supply to the connected field

devices in the hazardous area using the intrinsically safe Raptor Tankbus.

The Rosemount 2410 tank hub collects measurement data and status

information from field devices on a tank. It has two external buses for

communication with various host systems.

Rosemount 5900 Radar Level Gauge

The Rosemount 5900 radar level gauge is an intelligent instrument for

measuring the product level inside a tank. Different antennas can be used in

order to meet the requirements of different applications. The 5900 can

measure the level of almost any product, including bitumen, crude oil, refined

products, aggressive chemicals, LPG and LNG.

The Rosemount 5900 sends microwaves towards the surface of the product

in the tank. The level is calculated based on the echo from the surface. No

part of the 5900 is in actual contact with the product in the tank, and the

antenna is the only part of the gauge that is exposed to the tank atmosphere.

The 5900 2-in-1 option makes the radar level gauge redundant to electric

circuit failure. Two separate radar units in the same transmitter head allows

two independent level measurements using one antenna.

Rosemount 2240 Multi-Input Temperature Transmitter

The Rosemount 2240 multi-input temperature transmitter can connect up to

16 temperature spot sensors and an integrated water level sensor.

Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display

The Rosemount 2230 graphical field display presents inventory tank gauging

data such as level, temperature, and pressure. The four softkeys allow you to

navigate through the different menus to provide all tank data, directly in the

field. The Rosemount 2230 supports up to 10 tanks.

Rosemount 644 Temperature Transmitter

The Rosemount 644 is used with single spot temperature sensors.

Rosemount 3051S Pressure Transmitter

The 3051S series consists of transmitters and flanges suitable for all kinds of

applications, including crude oil tanks, pressurized tanks and tanks with /

without floating roofs.

When a radar level gauge is connected to a pressure transmitter near the

bottom of the tank, the density of the product can be calculated and

presented. One or more pressure transmitters with different scalings can be

used on the same tank to measure vapor and liquid pressure.

Rosemount 2180 Field Bus Modem

The Rosemount 2180 field bus modem (FBM) is used for connecting a

TankMaster PC to the TRL/2 communication bus. The 2180 is connected to

the PC using either the RS232 or the USB interface.

Rosemount 5900 Series

Section 2. Overview

2.4 ANTENNAS

The Rosemount 5900 with horn antenna is designed

for an 8” antenna to be used in small size openings

on fixed roofs tanks.

The 5920 is designed for measurements of a variety

of oil products and chemicals. However, for

bitumen/asphalt and similar products the Parabolic

antenna is recommended.

The Rosemount 5900 with parabolic antenna

measures level of all types of liquids, from light

products to bitumen/asphalt. The gauge is designed

for mounting on tanks with fixed roofs and has

custody transfer accuracy.

The design of the parabolic antenna provides

extreme tolerance against sticky and condensing

products. The narrow beam of this antenna makes it

very suitable in narrow tanks with internal structures.

The Rosemount 5900 with still pipe array antenna is

used on tanks with still pipes and with all products

suited for still pipes.

The gauge uses a low-loss radar propagation mode

which virtually eliminates the influence of the still pipe

condition. Measurement is made with highest

accuracy even when the pipe is old, rusty and

covered with deposits.

The Still Pipe Gauge fits 5”, 6″, 8″, 10″ and 12″ pipes.

It can be mounted on an existing still pipe and there

is no need to take the tank out of operation during

installation.

There are two versions of the 5900 with still pipe

array antenna: fixed and hinged hatch. The hinged

hatch enables full pipe size product sampling or

verification hand-dips.

Rosemount 5900 Series

2-8 Section 2. Overview

The Rosemount 5900 with LPG/LNG antenna is

designed for level measurements in LPG and LNG

tanks. A 4” still pipe is used as a wave guide for the

measurement and prevents a wavy or boiling surface

from disturbing the measurement. Radar signals are

transmitted inside the pipe towards the surface.

The pressure sealing is a quarts window approved for

use in pressure vessels. As standard the gauge is

also equipped with a fire-proof block valve and a

vapor space pressure sensor.

The Rosemount 5960 is available in two versions, a

150 PSI version and a 300 PSI version.

The patented reference pin function enables

verification of measurement without opening the tank.

By setting the gauge into “test mode” the measured

distances are compared with the actual distances.

Requirements

Temperature and Pressure Measurement

A prerequisite for high accuracy level-measurements in LPG/LNG tanks is

that temperature and pressure measurements are made. The Rosemount

5900 transmitter can interface pressure sensors and up to six temperature

sensors.

Still Pipe

A still-pipe must be installed prior to the gauge installation. The still-pipe is

customer supplied and should be manufactured according to the installation

drawings.

Three types of steel pipe can be used:

• DN100

4″ SCH 10 stainless steel pipe

4″ SCH 40 stainless steel pipe

When ordering the gauge specify the pipe type in the Required System

Information (RSI) form.

The still-pipe must be vertical within ±0.5° and the customer flange must be

horizontal within ±1° as illustrated in Figure 3-12 on page 3-14.

The still-pipe is manufactured with a number of holes in order to provide

pressure equalization so that the product level inside the pipe is equal to the

level in the rest of the tank. The diameter of the holes should be 20 mm or

3/4″.

All holes in the upper pipe section must be placed along a line on one side of

the pipe and aligned with a bolt hole on the pipe flange as illustrated in Figure

3-11 on page 3-14. The position of the holes must be clearly marked on the

pipe flange. The Reference Pin must be directed towards the bolt hole. The

flange marking is used to properly align the gauge with the Reference Pin,

see Figure 3-11.

3.4 ELECTRICAL

INSTALLATION

3.4.1 Cable/conduit

entries

The electronics housing has entries for ½ — 14 NPT. Optional M20×1.5,

minifast and eurofast adapters are also available. The connections are made

in accordance with local or plant electrical codes.

Make sure that unused ports are properly sealed to prevent moisture or other

contamination from entering the terminal block compartment of the electronics

housing.

NOTE!

It is recommended that a sealant is used on the cable entry threads to prevent

water from entering the housing interior.

NOTE!

Use the enclosed metal plugs to seal unused ports. The orange plastic plugs

mounted at delivery are not sufficient as seal!

3.4.2 Grounding The housing should always be grounded in accordance with national and

local electrical codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by

the equipment. The most effective grounding method is direct connection to

earth ground with minimal impedance. There are three grounding screw

connections provided. Two are located inside the Field Terminal side of the

housing and the third is located on the housing. The internal ground screws

are identified by a ground symbol: .

NOTE!

Grounding the transmitter via threaded conduit connection may not provide

sufficient ground.

Grounding — Foundation Fieldbus

Signal wiring of the fieldbus segment can not be grounded. Grounding out

one of the signal wires will shut down the entire fieldbus segment.

Shield Wire Ground

To protect the fieldbus segment from noise, grounding techniques for shield

wire usually require a single grounding point for shield wire to avoid creating a

ground loop. The ground point shall be located at the power supply.

The Raptor devices are designed for “daisy-chain” connection of shield wiring

in order to enable a continuous shield throughout the Tankbus network.

Reference Manual

300520EN, Rev AA

November 2009

Rosemount 5900 Series

3-40 Section 3. Installation

3.4.3 Cable Selection Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5900 Series in order to

comply with EMC regulations and to ensure good fieldbus performance is

achieved. The cables must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved

for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. In the U.S. explosion-proof

conduits may be used in the vicinity of the vessel.

Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG in order to minimize the voltage drop to the

transmitter.

The FISCO(1) FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification requires that cables for the

Raptor Tankbus comply with the following parameters:

Table 3-5. FISCO cable

parameters

3.4.4 Hazardous Areas When the Rosemount 5900 level gaugeis installed in hazardous area, local

regulations and specifications in applicable certificates must be observed.

3.4.5 Power

Requirements

The Rosemount 5900 is powered over the intrinsically safe Tankbus by the

Rosemount 2410 tank communication unit. The 2410 feeds the intrinsically

safe fieldbus segment by acting as a FISCO power supply on the Tankbus.

3.4.6 Power Budget The Rosemount 2410 tank hub delivers 250 mA to the Tankbus. The number

of tanks served by the 2410 depends on the type of connected field devices

and their power consumption(2). Power consumption per field device is listed

in Table 3-6 below:

Table 3-6. Power consumption

for various Raptor devices

The Rosemount 2410 tank hub supports a maximum of one tank for a

5900S-based configuration. In a 5300T— or 5400T-based configuration up to

10 tanks are supported.

Section 3. Installation

3.4.7 The Raptor

Tankbus

The Raptor system is easy to install and wire. Devices can be “daisy-chained

thus reducing the number of external junction boxes.

In a Raptor system devices communicate with a Rosemount 2410 tank hub

via the intrinsically safe Tankbus. The Tankbus complies with the FISCO(1)

FOUNDATION fieldbus standard. The Rosemount 2410 acts as power supply to

the field devices on the Tankbus.

Termination

A terminator is needed at each end of a FOUNDATION Fieldbus network.

Generally, one terminator is placed in the fieldbus power supply, and the other

one in the last device in the fieldbus network.

NOTE!

Ensure that there are two terminators on the fieldbus.

In a Raptor system the Rosemount 2410 tank hub acts as power supply.

Since the 2410 normally is the first device in the fieldbus segment, the built-in

termination is enabled at factory

Other Raptor devices such as the Rosemount 5900 radar level gauge, the

Rosemount 2230 graphical display, and the Rosemount 2240 multi-input

temperature transmitter also have built-in terminators which can easily be

enabled by inserting a jumper in the terminal block when necessary.

Segment design

When designing a FISCO fieldbus segment a few requirements need to be

considered. Cabling has to comply with FISCO requirements as described in

“Cable Selection” on page 3-40.

You will also have to ensure that the total operating current of the connected

field devices is within the output capability of the Rosemount 2410 tank hub.

The 2410 is able to deliver 250 mA. Consequently, the number of field devices

has to be considered so that the total current consumption is less than

250 mA, see “Power Budget” on page 3-40.

Another requirement is to ensure that all field devices have at least 9 V input

voltage at their terminals. Therefore you will have to take into account the

voltage drop in the fieldbus cables.

Distances are normally quite short between the Rosemount 2410 tank hub

and field devices on the tank. In many cases you can use existing cables as

long as the FISCO requirements are fulfilled (see “Cable Selection” on

page 3-40).

See “The Raptor Tankbus” on page 3-7 in the Rosemount 2410 Reference

Manual (Document no. 305030EN) for more information on segment design

of a Raptor system.

3.4.11 Wiring Diagrams The standard version of the Rosemount 5900 has a single intrinsically safe

fieldbus input. The 5900 has a built-in termination by short circuiting the X2

connector.

An intrinsically safe output on connector X4 can be used for “daisy-chain”

Connector X3 is used for a fieldbus input/output cable shield connection

(separated from chassis ground).

Figure 3-22 illustrates a typical wiring diagram with a Rosemount 5900 level

gauge connected to a Rosemount 2240 multi-input temperature transmitter. In

this example the termination is enabled in the 2240 transmitter since this is

the last device on the Tankbus (see “The Raptor Tankbus” on page 3-41).

In case you prefer to connect the 2240 to the 2410 tank hub, you may

“daisy-chain” the 5900 to the 2240, and terminate the Tankbus by a jumper in

terminal X2 on the 5900 terminal block.

4-2 Section 4. Configuration

4.2 OVERVIEW Installation and configuration of a Raptor system is a simple and

straight-forward procedure. It basically includes the following steps:

1. Setting up communication protocol and communication parameters.

2. Configuration of Field Communication Unit.

3. Configuration of Rosemount 2410 tank communication unit.

4. Configuration of measurement devices such as the Rosemount 5900

level gauge.

5. Calibration.

A detailed description of how to install and configure a Rosemount 5900 by

using the TankMaster WinSetup software is given in the Raptor System

Configuration manual (Document no. 300510EN).

The TankMaster WinSetup configuration is the recommended tool for

installation and configuration of a Rosemount 5900. The 5900 can be installed

as part of the procedure when installing a Rosemount 2410 tank

communication unit. This is the standard procedure when a new Raptor

system is installed:

a. Install and configure the 2410 tank communication unit by using the

device installation wizard in TankMaster WinSetup.

b. Finish the 2410 installation with “offline” installation of the 5900 level

gauge.

c. Configure the 5900 level gauge via the Properties window.

If a 5900 is added to an existing system the Rosemount 2410 Tank Database

must be updated before the 5900 is configured. The Tank Database maps the

5900 to the tank on which it is installed.

NOTE!

If the system contains a Field Communication Unit (FCU) it has to be installed

and configured before other devices such as level gauges and temperature

multiplexers.

The Rosemount 5900 supports basic configuration which is sufficient in most

cases. There are a number of advanced configuration options available as

well, which may be used for special applications when further fine-tuning is

needed.

Section 4. Configuration

Tank Reference Height (R)

The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping nozzle

(Tank Reference Point) to the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) close to, or at

the bottom of the tank.

Gauge Reference Distance (G)

The RTG Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank Reference

Point and the RTG Reference Point, which is located at the top surface of the

customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the gauge is mounted.

For Still Pipe Gauges the Gauge Reference Point is located at the hand-dip

mark on the Still Pipe Gauge Stand.

G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the Gauge

Reference Point. Otherwise G is negative.

Minimum Level Offset (C)

The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the Zero

Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product surface

(tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range can be

extended to the bottom of the tank.

If C>0, negative level values will be displayed when the product surface is

below the Zero Level. Select the Show negative level values as zero check

box if you want levels below the Zero Level to be displayed as Level=0.

Measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved if the C-distance=0,

i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.

Figure 4-2. Definition of RTG

Reference Distance

Hold Off Distance

The Hold Off distance defines how close to the Gauge Reference Point a level

value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not need to be

changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank,

for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in

order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.

Calibration Distance

Use this variable to adjust the transmitter so that measured product levels

match hand dipped levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary when

the gauge is installed due to, for example, a minor deviation between the

actual tank height and the value stored in the transmitter database.

4-6 Section 4. Configuration

Pipe Diameter

When a Rosemount 5900 level gauge is installed in a still pipe, the inner

diameter of the pipe must be specified. The Pipe Diameter is used to

compensate for the lower microwave propagation speed inside the pipe. An

incorrect value results in a scale factor error. If locally supplied still pipes are

used, make sure the inner diameter is noted before the pipe is installed.

4.3.2 Environment Foam

You can use this parameter to optimize the gauge for conditions with weak

and varying surface echo amplitudes such as foam. When the foam is light

and airy the actual product level is measured. For heavy and dense foam the

transmitter measures the level of the upper surface of the foam.

Turbulent Surface

Splash loading, agitators, mixers, or boiling products may cause a turbulent

surface. Normally the waves in a tank are quite small and cause local rapid

level changes. By setting the Turbulent Surface parameter the performance of

the transmitter will be improved when there are small and quickly changing

amplitudes and levels.

Rapid Level Changes

Optimize the level gauge for measurement conditions where the level

changes quickly due to filling and emptying of the tank. The Rosemount 5900

is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 inch/s (40 mm/s). The Rapid Level

Changes funtion allows the 5900 to track level changes of up to 8 inch/s (200

mm/s).

The Rapid Level Changes function shall not be used in normal conditions

when the product surface moves slowly.

Solid Products

Setting this parameter optimizes the transmitter for solid products, for

example concrete or grains, which are not transparent for radar signals. For

instance, this parameter can be used when the application is a silo with

product build-up.

Product Dielectric Range

The Dielectric Constant is related to the reflectivity of the product. This

parameter can be used to optimize measurement performance. However, the

level gauge will still be able to perform well even if the actual Dielectric

Constant differs from the configured value.

4.3.3 Tank Shape The Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type parameters optimize the Rosemount

5900 for various tank geometries and for measurements close to the tank

bottom.

4.4 CONFIGURATION USING ROSEMOUNT TANKMASTER

It is recommended that the Rosemount 5900 is configured by using the

TankMaster Winsetup configuration tool. Winsetup supports installation of the

Rosemount 5900 by one of the following methods:

as part of the installation and configuration procedure of a Rosemount

2410 tank hub

by using the TankMaster installation wizard

When a 5900 is installed as part of a 2410 installation procedure, it needs to

be configured in a separate stage.

See the Raptor System Configuration Manual (Document no. 300510EN) for

more information on using the TankMaster WinSetup software to configure a

Rosemount 5900 level gauge.

There are a number of advanced configuration options available which are not

included in the basic configuration wizard. See Section C: Advanced

Configuration for information on how to use the various advanced options

such as Tank Scan, Empty Tank Handling, Surface Echo Tracking and Filter

Settings.

4.4.1 Installation

Wizard

A Rosemount 5900 is typically installed as part of the installation procedure

when installing a Rosemount 2410 tank communication unit in TankMaster

WinSetup. Then the 5900 appears in the WinSetup workspace and is

configured via the Properties window. See the Rex II System Configuration

Manual (Document no. 300510EN) for more information.

The 5900 can also be installed by using the TankMaster WinSetup installation

wizard. The installation wizard in WinSetup is a tool that facilitates installation

and configuration of Rosemount 5900 and other devices.

NOTE!

In case the Rosemount 5900 level gauge was installed offline via a

Rosemount 2410 tank communication unit, it needs to be configured

separately via the Properties window.

To install a Rosemount 5900 do the following:

1. Start the installation wizard in TankMaster WinSetup.

2. Select the Devices folder.

3. Click the right mouse button and select Install New.

4. Follow the instructions.

4.5 LPG

CONFIGURATION

4.5.1 Preparations Ensure that all mechanical installations are made according to instructions,

and that all external sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors are

properly connected.

Make sure that the position of the reference pin is accurately measured and

the inner diameter of the still-pipe is available.

Before the actual LPG configuration can take place, install the tank and the

level gauge in TankMaster WinSetup as described in the REX II System

Configuration Manual (Document no. 300510EN). Ensure that the appropriate

tank and device types are selected and that the temperature and pressure

sensors are properly configured. Check that the gauge communicates with

the TankMaster PC.

Highly pressurized vapor above the product surface affects the progation

speed of microwaves. The Rosemount 5900 gauge is able to compensate for

this, thus avoiding deviations in measured level due to the vapor.

When the gauge is installed on the tank, and the tank is still empty, calibrate

the gauge and configure for LPG measurements.

Installing a Rosemount 5900 for LPG measurements can roughly be divided

into the following steps:

a. Mechanical installation. Install the 5900 gauge on the still-pipe.

Measure the position of the reference pin.

b. Start up. In TankMaster Winsetup configure the 5900 according to

the standard procedure for installing a Rosemount 5900 level gauge.

c. Calibration.

d. Configuration of temperature and pressure sensors.

e. Configuration of test pin.

f. Verification of LPG measurements.

g. Setting up the correction method that applies to the particular type of

product that is stored in the tank.

Configuration

In the following description it is assumed that the Rosemount 5900 LPG

gauge is installed on the tank, and that a basic configuration is done as

described in the Rex II System Configuration Manual (Document no.

300510EN). Then it needs to be configured for LPG measurements. Do the

following:

1. Ensure that the tank is empty.

2. Check that the ball valve (optional) on the gauge is open.

In the TankMaster WinSetup work space choose the Logical View tab. Select

the icon that represents the radar level gauge, click the right mouse button

and choose LPG Setup.

3. In the LPG Setup window click the Correction button.

Choose Air Correction Only from the list of correction methods and click the

OK button.

NOTE!

The Air Correction Only option shall only be used when the tank atmosphere

contains air and no other gases.

When the LPG configuration is finished, the correction method needs to be

changed to a correction method that applies to the particular type of product

that is used.

4. Calibrate.

Make sure that there is no liquid above the calibration ring (or bottom plug) at

the end of the pipe.

Check the Ullage value measured by the transmitter:

Ullage = Tank Height R— Product Level L.

If the Ullage value is not equal to the actual distance between the RTG

Reference Point and the calibration ring, open the TankMaster WinSetup

Properties window (right-click the device icon and choose Properties), choose

the RTG Geometry tab and adjust the Calibration Distance:

5. Choose Vapor Pressure source device.

Open the ATD Properties window and select the Parameter Source tab.

This tab lets you map tank parameters such as Vapor Pressure to

source devices connected to the tankbus.

6. When a Rosemount 2240 tank temperature multiplexer is used, the

vapor temperature is automatically mapped to the average temperature

of all spot sensors above the product surface. In case you like to map a

specific sensor, open the ATD Properties window and select the

Parameter Source tab to choose the desired temperature source device.

7. Configure the reference pins.

In the LPG Setup window click the Config Pins button to open the

LPG Configure Pins window:

Enter the reference pin position. The position is measured from the RTG

Reference Point to the actual position of the reference pin.

Since hand dipping can not be performed in high pressurized tanks, Emerson

Process Management / Rosemount Tank Gauging has developed a unique

method to verify level gauging in such tanks. The method is based on

measurements in a special radar wave propagation mode against a fixed

reference pin in order to verify the measurement.

NOTE!

The value entered in the Nominal Pos field refers to the mechanical distance

from the RTG reference point to the actual reference pin. This value will only

act as a starting point for the following verification process in which the

electrical distance from the RTG reference point to the reference pin is

calculated. In most cases the electrical distance deviates from the actual

mechanical distance.

Make sure that the Threshold value is 500 mV.

The amplitude of the echo from the reference pin must be above the threshold

value in order to appear in the LPGVerify window (see “Verify the gauge

measurement.” on page 4-14). In case the reference pin does not show up, it

is possible to use a smaller threshold value. Check that the product level is

not above the reference pin.

NOTE!

When the product surface is close to a reference pin, the radar echoes from

the reference pin and the product surface interfere. This may reduce the

accuracy of the measured distance to the reference pin. It is recommended

that verification is not performed if the distance between a reference pin and

the product surface is less than 900 mm.

There are several options available depending on the number of

products and product type.

In the LPG Setup window click the Correction button:

Choose one of the following correction methods:

a. Air Correction.

This method should only be used when there is no vapor in the tank,

i.e. when the tank is empty and contains air only. It is used in the

initial step when calibrating the 5900.

b. One known gas.

This method may be used when there is only one gas type in the

tank. It provides the highest accuracy among the different correction

methods. Note that even small amounts of another gas reduces the

accuracy.

c. One or more unknown gases.

Use this method for hydrocarbons, for example Propane/Buthane,

when the exact mixture is not known.

d. Two gases with unknown mixratio.

This method is suitable for a mixture of two gases even if the

mixratio is not known.

e. One or more known gases with known mixratio.

This method may be used when there is a well known mixture of up

to 4 products in the tank.

Now the Rosemount 5900 gauge is ready to measure the product level when

the tank is put into operation.

6.2.4 Diagnostics The TankMaster WinSetup program lets you view the current device status.

The View Diagnostic Register window shows a selection of database registers

that gives you an instant view of how the gauge operates. You may also

configure the window by adding registers of special interest.

To view and configure the diagnostic registers:

1. Select the 5900 gauge icon in the TankMaster WinSetup workspace.

2. Click the right mouse button and choose View Diagnostic Registers.

The register values in the diagnostics window are of read only type. They are

loaded from the device as the window is opened.

A grey background color of the table cell in the Value column means that the

register is of either Bitfield or ENUM type. An expanded Bitfield/ENUM

window can be opened for this type of register. Double-click the cell to open

the Expanded Bitfield/ENUM window.

If needed, the values can be presented as hexadecimal numbers. This

applies to registers of the Bitfield and ENUM types. Select the Show in Hex

check box to present Bitfield and ENUM registers as hexadecimal numbers.

The Configure button lets you open the Configure Diagnostic Registers

window where you can change the list of registers to be displayed in the View

Diagnostic Registers window. See the Raptor System Configuration Manual

(Document No. 300510EN) for more information.

The Configure Diagnostic Registers window also has a Log Setup button for

access to the Register Log Scheduling window which allows you to setup a

log schedule for automatic start and stop of register logging. See “Logging

Measurement Data” on page 6-12 for more information.
