Rosemount Process Radar
COMMISSIONING Follow this commissioning procedure the first time the process is started at
actual operating conditions and actual process media.
Verification Review and verify that the following matches application and installation
requirements, as described in Section 5: 5400 Quick Installation Guide and
Section 6: 5400 Installation & Configuration.
• Mounting Consideration
• Mechanical Installation
• Electrical Installation
• Basic Configuration
Configuration Threshold settings
1. Review thresholds settings
2. If needed, use the following best practices to apply custom threshold
adjustments:
• Generally, the threshold should be at 20% of the surface peak.
Example: If the surface is 2000 mV, then the threshold should be set at
400 mV.
• It should never be closer than 200 mV to any disturbing objects.
Example: If there is a 500 mV peak from an obstacle, the threshold
around it should be 700 mV.
• The threshold should never be below 300 mV. For products with very
low dielectric constants, such as hydrocarbons, it may be required to
lower the threshold.
VERIFICATION
PROCEDURE
Step 1. Verify the
Correctness of Level
Reading
At normal operating conditions, compare the transmitter level, or interface
reading, with an independent measurement. Unfortunately, it often happens
that two independent measurements will not match up perfectly, but check the
sanity and the acceptable deviation.
The independent measurement can be done using a number of different
complementary devices, ranging from sight-glasses and hand-dipping to
redundant differential-pressure and displacer.
