The Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub acts as a power supply to the connected field devices in the hazardous area using the intrinsically safe Tankbus. The 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 5900S Radar Level Gauge...
Page 22
5900S 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 2-in-1 version of the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge has two radar modules in the same transmitter housing allowing two independent level measurements using one antenna and one tank opening.
Page 23
By using a Rosemount 3051S Pressure Transmitter near the bottom of the tank as a complement to a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge, 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.
2.5.1 Horn antenna The Rosemount 5900S with Horn Antenna is designed for an 8 inch antenna to be used in small size openings on fixed roofs tanks. The Rosemount 5900S is designed for measurements of a variety of oil products and chemicals.
Page 25
September 2019 2.5.3 Array antenna The Rosemount 5900S with Still-pipe Array Antenna is used on tanks with still pipes and with all products suited for still pipes, except Methanol, for which the other antennas are better suited. The gauge uses a low-loss radar propagation mode which virtually eliminates the influence of the still pipe condition.

Page 28
Installation Reference Manual September 2019 00809-0100-5900 NOTICE The device is designed for installation in complete enclosed container to prevent unwanted RF emission. Installation must be in accordance with local regulations and may require local radio approvals. Installation in open air applications may be subject for site license approval. Installation shall be done by trained installers, in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.
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.
Page 33
Figure 3-3: Maximum Inclination with Parabolic Antenna A. Maximum inclination 1.5° Flange requirements The Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna is mounted on the tank nozzle by using the Flange Ball. It is designed for easy adjustment of gauge inclination within the specified limits.
Page 34
< 17° Nozzle requirements When installing the Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna on a 20 inch nozzle, the nozzle height must not exceed 600 mm (24 in.). There has to be a free passage for the radar beam within a 5° angle from the edge of the parabolic reflector to the lower end of the nozzle.
Page 35
F. 5° minimum Free space requirements The radar beam of the Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna is 10° wide. Obstacles (construction bars, pipes larger than Ø 2", etc.) within the radar beam are generally not accepted, as these may result in disturbing echoes. However, in most cases, a smooth tank wall or small objects will not have any significant influence on the radar beam.
Page 36
The antenna axis should be located at least 800 mm (31 in.) from the tank wall for best performance. For evaluation contact Emerson Automation Solutions/ Rosemount Tank Gauging. Figure 3-7: Free Space Requirements for the Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna 5°...

The Empty Tank Detection Area defines a range within a lower limit of 200 mm (8 in.) above the tank bottom. If the surface echo is lost in this region, the tank is considered empty (the device enters Empty Tank State) and the level gauge presents a zero level reading. Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge...

Configuration Reference Manual September 2019 00809-0100-5900 If the tank is empty the level gauge searches for the product surface in a region 2 x Empty Tank Detection Area. It is important that there are no disturbances in this area, since when a new echo is found it is considered to be the product surface.
Optimize the level gauge for measurement conditions where the product level changes quickly due to filling and emptying of the tank. The Rosemount 5900S is able to track level changes of up to 1.5 inch/s (40 mm/s). The Rapid Level Changes function allows the Rosemount 5900S to track level changes of up to 8 inch/s (200 mm/s).
