Specific ETSI Requirements (Europe)
The Rosemount 5900S is required to be installed at a permanent fixed position at a closed (not open) metallic tank or reinforced
concrete tank, or similar enclosure structure made of comparable attenuating material. Flanges and attachments of the
Rosemount 5900S equipment shall provide the necessary microwave sealing by design.
Manholes or connection flanges at the tank shall be closed to ensure a low-level leakage of the signal into the air outside the tank.
Installation and maintenance of the Rosemount 5900S equipment shall be performed by professionally trained individuals only.
Specific FCC Requirements (USA)
Rosemount 5900S generates and uses radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer´s instructions, it may violate FCC regulations on radio frequency emission.
Rosemount TankRadar 5900S has been FCC certified under test conditions which assume a metallic tank.
Specific IC Requirements (Canada)
Radio approvals for this device apply for installation in complete enclosed container to prevent unwanted RF emission. In open air
application site license is required. Installation shall be done by trained installers, in compliance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
The use of this device is on a "no-interference, no-protection" basis. That is, the user shall accept operations of high-powered radar
in the same frequency band which may interfere with or damage this device. Devices found to interfere with primary licensing
operations will be required to be removed at the user's expense.
Low Emission of Microwave Radiation
The microwave radiation emitted by a Rosemount 5900S radar level gauge is very low compared to limits given by the Rec.
1999/519/EC (much less than 0.1 mW). No additional safety measures are needed.
