Page 4: Introduction
Beyond the Basic Setup parameters, the software will allow the user to view the return signal of the MT5100 on the computer screen. As a trouble shooting tool, a screen shot of the waveform may be taken and sent to the factory for analysis. -
Page 5: Overview
Installation of rigid probes and flange mounted transmitters may require the use of lifting equipment. Avoid sharp bending of cable probes which can result in poor instrument operation. The lids on the MT5100 housing are sealed with o-rings. To avoid damage to the electronics, both lids should be closed tightly before and after installation. -
Page 6: Description And Principle Of Operation
MT5100 Guided Wave Radar Level and Interface Transmitter 2.3 Description & Principle of Operation The MT5100 is a 4-20mA loop powered Smart Level Transmitter, which is microprocessor based and is available ® with HART communication. It uses very low power microwave energy to determine the level or interface of the products being measured. -
Page 7: Total Level And Interface Level Measurement
MT5100 is utilized with a RI100 Repeat Indicator. 2. The MT5100 provides a 4-20 mA output representing the interface level while the RI100 provides a 4-20 mA signal representing the overall level. -
Page 8: Installation
Guided Wave Radar Level and Interface Transmitter 3. Installation 3.1 Special Requirements In order to properly detect the level of interface between two liquids using the MT5100, the following rules must be adhered to: 1. One of the following probe and mounting configurations must be used: a. -
Page 9: Mechanical Installation
3.2.1 All Installations 1. Do not mount the MT5100 in the product fill stream. 2. To obtain the best return signal from the product level mount the MT5100 coupler directly into the top of the ves- sel. 3. Do not mount MT5100 single probes using bushings. (Figure 3.1) 4. -
Page 10: Single Probes In Stilling Wells
3.2.3 Single Probes in Stilling Wells An MT5100 with a single probe directly inserted in the vessel can be used to measure interface level if a metal still- ing well is also utilized. This stilling well may already exist, as part of the tank structure, or may be purchased with the MT5100. - Page 11 An ideal installation involves the use of multiple holes along the length of the stilling well. This will allow both products to flow freely over the entire length of the probe. A typical stilling well purchased from K-TEK will have 1”...

Page 12: Single Probes In External Chambers
This can be accomplished by keeping the dimension between the top process connection and the access flange greater than the unmeasureable zone (Section 3.2.7). If the External Chamber for the MT5100 is being supplied by K-TEK Corporation, all of the above factors will be taken into account during the manufacture. -

BLK parameter. Refer to Section 4.5 to adjust this parameter. Extending the BLK may result in a loss of measurable range. 7. If the MT5100 is set up for a non-flooded condition, the upper product should not be allowed to enter the upper unmeasureable zone Refer to Section 3.2.7. -
Page 14: Unmeasurable Zones
In a flooded configuration, the unmeasureable zones will only cause errors in the interface measurement. The upper unmeasureable zone will typically be situated within a nozzle if the MT5100 is mounted directly into a process vessel. Single probe MT5100s mounted in existing displacers may be subject to having the unmeasureable zone within the measuring range. -
Page 15: Shortening Of Probes
Guided Wave Radar Level and Interface Transmitter 3.3 Shortening of Probe The MT5100 single rod and cable probe can be cut to length prior to installation. If shortening of the probe is neces- sary, cut the rod or cable to the desired length using a hacksaw. -

4.1 Display Operation When power is applied to an MT5100 series transmitter, the display will light up with a title screen which shows the model type and the software revision. (Figure 4.1) This initial power up cycle will last for 3 seconds and the current output of the transmitter will hold at 4.00 mA. -
Page 17: Jumper Settings
Three pushbuttons are located on the lower portion of the module faceplate (Figure 4.5). These buttons will be used to navigate through the setup and configuration menu of the MT5100. Some operations will require the pushbuttons to be used together or held for a period of time to affect a change. -

The MT5100 will now be fully operational. If a further detailed setup is required you may proceed to the mA OUT- PUT menu, or the Extended Setup menu. If the output of the MT5100 is required to match that of another device, the following alternate procedure may be used. -
Page 24: Ma Output Setup
Introduction mA OUTPUT SETUP mA OUTPUT SETUP is a menu of items used to control the output signal from the MT5100. In this menu you will find entries for the 4mA point, 20mA point and Damping along with other output related items. -
Page 25: Urv 20Ma
URV 20mA URV 20mA is a value in engineering UNITS which determines at which measured value the MT5100 will generate a mA OUTPUT of 20.00mA. Traditionally this is known as the span 0000.00 in point. From the factory the URV 20mA will be set to the PROBE LENGTH. -
Page 26: Alarm Delay
The MT5100 is designed as a 2 wire loop powered device. It will generate a mA OUTPUT over a range of 3.61 to 21.00 mA. When an MT5100 is calibrated at the factory, the output of the unit will be set to correspond to a calibrated multi-meter. The exact output is set using LVL XXX.XX in... -
Page 27: Hart Address
XX.XX mA to 15. As a default value, the MT5100 is set with an address of 0. This allows the MT5100 to operate normally. If an address other than 0 is set in the MT5100, the mA output of the transmitter will hold at 4.00mA and the measured level will continue to operate as normal. -
Page 28: Waveform Display
The first five menu options in the EXTENDED SETUP, will allow access to a graphic display of the return signal from the sensor of the MT5100. Each of these WAVEFORM screens has the same configuration and will allow access to the same functions. - Page 29 Division giving access to the full WAVEFORM. Shifting the Reference will not affect the operation of the MT5100. Pressing the SELECT button with < highlighted will shift the reference 5 divisions to the left. Press- ing the SELECT button with > highlighted will shift the reference 5 divisions to the right. The displayed reference may not be shifted to a value less than 0 measurement.

These are not user accessible. 2. BLK = Blanking (in terms of UNITS) Blanking is a measured area which the MT5100 will be set to ignore. This will be set based on the NOZZLE LENGTH from the BASIC SETUP menu. It may be necessary to extend the Blanking further past the nozzle to ignore reflections from the top portion of the probe. -

Page 32: Linearization Menu
The LINEARIZATION function of the MT5100 is a multi-purpose tool designed to enhance the operating capabilities of the MT5100 transmitter. The format of the LINEARIZATION TABLE allows a set of values to be assigned to measured level points along the PROBE LENGTH. The points in the table can be assigned exact measured values to linearize the measured level for increased accuracy at the top and bottom of the probe, assigned volume points for tank strapping, or assigned flow rates for measurement of flow in an open channel. -
Page 33: Linearization For Measurement
4.6.6.1 LINEARIZATION for MEASUREMENT Due to the nature of the microwave energy and the physics involved in the measurement of the MT5100, measure- ments return signals on the top and bottom end of the probe may be non-linear. The degree of non-linearity will de- pend upon the dielectric of the material being measured, the configuration of the probe, and the proximity of the ma- terial to the ends of the probe. -
Page 34: Linearization For Volume
4.6.6.2 LINEARIZATION for VOLUME The MT5100 is designed to measure level in a linear fashion over the length of the probe. If the transmitter is in- stalled in a straight sided tank, the volume of the tank may be calculated by knowing the amount of product per unit of measurement. -
Page 35: Linearization For Flow
1. A rigid probe must be used and it must be secured to the bottom of the flow channel. 2. A single rod probe design will require the use of a metal launch plate mounted to the MT5100 coupler. 3. The MT5100 probe and transmitter must be mounted 3 times the head height upstream from the end of the channel or from the flow change. -
Page 36: User Functions
4.7 Secondary Output - RI100 Option Introduction While the MT5100 is billed as an Interface Level Transmitter, a secondary output may be obtained by utilizing the RI100 option when the transmitter is operated in the “Non Flooded Chamber” (FLOODED CHAMBER OFF) mode selected under the EXTENDED SETUP menu. -
