3.2 INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Section 3. Installation
When finding an appropriate location on the tank for a Rosemount 5900S
Radar Level Gauge, the conditions of the tank must be carefully considered.
The 5900S should be installed so that the influence of disturbing objects is
kept to a minimum, preferably outside the radar signal beam.
Ensure that environmental conditions are within specified limits as listed in
Appendix A: Reference Data.
Ensure that the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge is installed such that it
is not exposed to higher pressure and temperature than specified in
Appendix A: Reference Data.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the device meets the specific
inside tank installation requirements such as:
• chemical compatibility of wetted materials
• design/operation pressure and temperature
For a complete specification of the 5900S device to be installed, you can
identify the model code on the attached antenna label and match with data in
"Ordering Information" on page A-9.
Do not install the Rosemount 5900S in non-intended applications, for
example environments where it may be exposed to extremely intense
magnetic fields or extreme weather conditions.
Antennas with plastic surfaces and painted surface, may under certain
extreme conditions generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge.
When installing in hazardous areas ensure using tools, cleaning material etc.
which can not generate electrostatic charge.
See chapters 3.2.1 to 3.2.4 for requirements and recommendations to
consider when installing a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge with
different antenna types.
