Rosemount 5300 Series
Tank Height
The Tank Height is defined as the distance from the Upper Reference Point to
the Lower Reference Point. The transmitter measures the distance to the
product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine
the product level. The Lower Reference Point can be set to any position in the
tank simply by adjusting the Tank Height.
Mounting Type
Enter the type of mounting for the device. This configuration optimizes the
device for the respective mounting type.
• Unknown – default factory setting for mounting type, and can also be
used if the mounting type is unknown
• Pipe/Chamber – select this option if the device is mounted on a
chamber/bridle or in a pipe. When selecting this alternative enter the
corresponding Inner Diameter as well
• Nozzle – select this if the device is installed on a nozzle. When
selecting this alternative, configure the Inner Diameter and the Nozzle
Height as well
• Direct/Bracket – when the device is mounted directly on the tank roof
with no traditional nozzle, this is the alternative to use. With this
selection no inner diameter or height is required, thus those selections
are disabled
Inner Diameter
Using with pipe, chamber - and nozzle installations.
Nozzle Height
For nozzle installations.
Probe Length
The probe length is the distance between the Upper Reference Point and the
end of the probe. If a weight is used at the end of the probe, it should not be
included.
For Flexible Single Lead probes anchored with clamps, the probe length
should be configured as the distance between the underside of the flange and
the upper clamp (see “Anchoring” on page 3-22).
This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. It must be changed if the
probe is shortened.
Probe Type
The transmitter is designed to optimize measurement performance for each
probe type.
This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. This value needs to be
changed if the probe type is changed.
