4.2 OVERVIEW

Preliminary
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.
