Rosemount 5300 Series Level Transmitter
002814-HW-ROSE-014
Overview
The Rosemount 5300 Series level transmitter is our premium 2-wire guided wave radar for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. It is everything you would expect from a best-in-class process radar - superior reliability, state-of-the-art safety features, effortless handling, and unlimited connectivity.
Guided Wave Radar is a continuous level measurement technique that offers several advantages. It is virtually unaffected by temperature, pressure, and vapor gas mixtures. It has no moving parts and therefore requires little or no maintenance. It measures the level directly and is therefore unaffected by most fluid property changes, including but not limited to density and viscosity changes.
- 5301 for level of liquids or submerged interfaces
- 5302 for level and interface liquids
- 5303 for level of solids
- Time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurement principle
- SST, Monel, Hastelloy or PTFE-covered SST probe materials
- 4-20mA with superimposed HART or Fieldbus communication output
- Up to 752°F process temperature
- Up to 5000 psi (345 bar) process pressure at 100°F
- Intrinsic safety or Explosion/Flameproof Ex-Approvals
The 5300 Series uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology. Low power nano-second microwave pulses are guided down a probe submerged in the process media. When a radar pulse reaches a media with a different dielectric constant, part of the energy is reflected to the transmitter. The time difference between the transmitted and the reflected pulse is converted into a distance from which the total level or interface level is calculated.
