Preparations
Prerequisites
Before starting configuration of the Rosemount
™
5900C for LPG measurements, ensure
that all mechanical installations are made according to instructions, and all external
sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors are properly connected.
For Rosemount 5900C with F
OUNDATION
™
Fieldbus the LPG Setup is described in
using DeltaV / AMS Device Manager
Highly pressurized vapor above the product surface affects the propagation speed of
microwaves. The Rosemount 5900C level gauge is able to compensate for this, thus
avoiding deviations in measured level due to the vapor.
When the gauge is installed on the empty tank, calibrate the gauge and configure for LPG
measurements.
To install a Rosemount 5900C for LPG measurements perform the following major steps:
Procedure
1. Install the tank and the Rosemount 5900C level gauge in Rosemount TankMaster
WinSetup as described in the Rosemount Tank Gauging
. Ensure that the appropriate tank and device types are selected, and the
temperature and pressure sensors are properly configured. Check that the gauge
communicates with the TankMaster PC.
2. Install the Rosemount 5900C gauge on the still-pipe. Measure the exact distance to
the Verification Pin.
3. Configure the Rosemount 5900C according to the standard procedure for a
Rosemount 5900C level gauge (see the Rosemount Tank Gauging
). Rosemount TankMaster Winsetup is the recommended
configuration tool.
4. Configure the vapor pressure sensor.
5. Set Correction Method to Air Correction Only.
6. Calibrate the Rosemount 5900C.
7. Configure the Verification Pin.
8. Verify position of Verification Pin.
9. Set up the Correction Method that applies to the particular type of product in the
tank.
The LPG installation procedure using Rosemount TankMaster Winsetup is described
in section
.
