The Rosemount 5900C supports basic configuration which is sufficient in most cases.
There are a number of advanced configuration options available as well, which may be
used for special applications when further fine-tuning is needed.
4.2.1 Basic configuration
Basic configuration includes specifying parameters for a standard configuration. This is
sufficient in most cases. A basic configuration includes the following items:
• Measurement units
• Tank geometry; tank height, tank type, tank bottom type, pipe diameter, hold off
distance, calibration distance, etc.
• Process conditions; rapid level changes, turbulence, foam, solids, product dielectric
range
• Volume; standard tank types, strapping table
• Tank scan; analyze the Rosemount 5900C measurement signal
• Empty tank handling; optimize measurements close to the tank bottom
See Basic configuration for more information.
4.2.2 Advanced configuration
In addition to basic configuration, the Rosemount 5900C supports advanced functions for
optimizing measurement performance in certain applications. It can be fine-tuned to
handle a wide range of product properties, various tank types, disturbing objects, and
turbulent conditions in the tank.
Examples of advanced functions supported by the Rosemount 5900C and the Rosemount
TankMaster WinSetup configuration program:
• Surface echo tracking
• Filter settings
See Advanced configuration for more information.
