A.5.4 Antennas
The Rosemount 5900S antennas have a drip-off design which for some versions also
include inclined polished PTFE surfaces. Condensation on the antenna is minimized, and
the radar signal remains strong. This results in maintenance free operation, high accuracy
and reliability. There is always a suitable antenna for every tank type, tank opening and
application:
• Parabolic
• Horn
• Still-pipe array
• LPG/LNG
A.5.5 Transmitter head
The same transmitter head is used for all Rosemount 5900S antenna types, minimizing
spare part requirements:
