COMPONENTS OF THE
TRANSMITTER
The Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Transmitter has an aluminum or stainless
steel (SST) transmitter housing containing advanced electronics and software
for signal processing. SST housing is preferred for harsh environment
applications, such as off-shore platforms or other locations where the housing
can be exposed to corrodents, such as salt solutions and caustics.
The radar electronics produces an electromagnetic pulse that is guided by the
probe. It comes with flange, threaded or Tri-Clamp process connection.
There are different probe types available for various applications: Rigid Twin
Lead, Flexible Twin Lead, Rigid Single Lead, Flexible Single Lead, and
Coaxial.
