Rosemount 5900 Series

CONFIGURATION
4.5.1
Preparations
Ensure that all mechanical installations are made according to instructions,
and that all external sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors are
properly connected.
Make sure that the position of the reference pin is accurately measured and
the inner diameter of the still-pipe is available.
Before the actual LPG configuration can take place, install the tank and the
level gauge in TankMaster WinSetup as described in the
REX II System
Configuration Manual
(Document no. 300510EN). Ensure that the appropriate
tank and device types are selected and that the temperature and pressure
sensors are properly configured. Check that the gauge communicates with
the TankMaster PC.
Highly pressurized vapor above the product surface affects the progation
speed of microwaves. The Rosemount 5900 gauge is able to compensate for
this, thus avoiding deviations in measured level due to the vapor.
When the gauge is installed on the tank, and the tank is still empty, calibrate
the gauge and configure for LPG measurements.
Installing a Rosemount 5900 for LPG measurements can roughly be divided
into the following steps:
a. Mechanical installation. Install the 5900 gauge on the still-pipe.
Measure the position of the reference pin.
b. Start up. In TankMaster Winsetup configure the 5900 according to
the standard procedure for installing a Rosemount 5900 level gauge.
c. Calibration.
d. Configuration of temperature and pressure sensors.
e. Configuration of test pin.
f. Verification of LPG measurements.
g. Setting up the correction method that applies to the particular type of
product that is stored in the tank.
