Rosemount 5300 Series
5-2
OVERVIEW The configuration of a Rosemount 5300 transmitter is normally a simple and
straight-forward task. The complete configuration of a Rosemount 5300
transmitter includes Basic Configuration, Echo Tuning and Advanced
Configuration. This section describes Basic Configuration.
If the transmitter is pre-configured at the factory according to the ordering
specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet, no further Basic Configuration
is required unless tank conditions have changed. The Rosemount 5300
Series supports a set of advanced configuration options as well, which can be
used to handle special tank conditions and applications.
Basic Configuration The Basic Configuration includes parameters for a standard configuration
which is sufficient in most cases. The Basic Configuration comprises the
following items:
• Measurement Units
• Tank Configuration
- Tank Geometry
- Environment
- Volume
• Analog Output
Echo Tuning Amplitude thresholds can be adjusted in order to handle special situations
when, for example, objects in the tank cause disturbing echoes that are
stronger than the surface echo. A useful function is the so called Amplitude
Threshold Curve (ATC) which lets you filter out single disturbing echoes. See
Section 7: Service and Troubleshooting, and Appendix C: Advanced
Configuration for more information.
LCD Configuration It is possible to specify the variables to be presented on the Display Panel.
See also Section 6: Operation.
Advanced Configuration For some applications, further device specific configuration is needed in
addition to the Basic Configuration. This may be due to product properties or
tank shape. See Appendix C: Advanced Configuration for more information.
Configuration Tools There are several tools available for the configuration of a Rosemount 5300
transmitter:
• Rosemount Radar Master (RRM). Note that RRM is recommended for
advanced configuration features.
See “Basic Configuration Using Rosemount Radar Master” on
page 5-13 for information on how to use RRM for configuration of the
5300 Series
• Rosemount 375 Field Communicator.
See “Basic Configuration Using a 375 Field Communicator” on
page 5-11 for the Field Communicator Menu Tree
• AMS Suite software (for HART). See “Basic Configuration Using AMS
Suite (HART)” on page 5-30
• DeltaV (only for Foundation Fieldbus). See “Basic Configuration Using
DeltaV” on page 5-31
• Other tools that support Electronic Device Description Language
(EDDL) functionality
