Rosemount Raptor
5.10.3 Advanced
Configuration
In addition to the basic configuration there are advanced configuration options
available for the Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar. Environment
conditions such as rapid level changes and dielectric constants of products as
well as vapor dielectric constant can be configured.
The 5300 GWR/Environment window can be used to optimize the 5300
Guided Wave Radar for special tank conditions as illustrated below. To
configure Environment parameters for the Rosemount 5300:
1. In the Workspace window, select the Rosemount 5300 icon.
2. Click the right mouse button and choose the Properties option. The
5300 GWR window appears.
3. Select the Environment tab.
Measurement Mode
The 5300 is pre-configured according to the specified model and normally the
measurement mode does not need to be changed.
Rapid Level Change
Select the Rapid Level Change check box if the surface is moving quickly up
or down at rates over 0.1 m/s (4 inch/s).
Dielectric Constant/Dielectric Range
The Product Dielectric Range is used for setting the appropriate signal
amplitude thresholds in order to filter out noise from the measurement signal.
In interface level measurements, dielectric constants can be configured for
both the upper and the lower products. For the Product Dielectric Range
choose option Unknown if the correct value range is not known or if the
contents of the tank is changing on a regular basis.
