Diagnostics Suite (option code D01 or DA1)
Signal Quality Metrics
Diagnostics package that monitors the relations between surface, noise and threshold.
The function can be used to detect abnormal conditions in the process such as probe
contamination or sudden loss of signal strength. Signal Quality Metrics parameters are
available as Output Variables in Rosemount Radar Master, and can be sent to Distributed
Control System (DCS) to trigger an alarm.
Verification reflector (option code HL1, HL2, or HL3)
The reflector, which is available with single lead flexible probes, is used to test and
continuously verify that the transmitter is functioning properly in both tank and chamber/
pipe installations. Compared to traditional diagnostics that only monitor the transmitter
electronics, the reflector can also be used to diagnose the upper parts of the probe inside
the tank for e.g. build-up, corrosion monitoring and other process related conditions.

The primary use-cases for the reflector are:
•
Verification of transmitter and probe (i.e. proof-testing)
•
High level supervision (i.e. continuous monitoring of high level condition)
Verification
During commissioning, the location and amplitude characteristics of the reflector are
stored in the transmitter. When the test procedure is later initiated, the stored reflector
