Extensive selection of antennas and materials
The Rosemount 5600 uses state-of-the art
microwave technology to get highest reliability and
precision. It measures the level of liquids, slurries,
and solids. The transmitter operates in a wide range
of temperatures, pressures, vapor gas mixtures, and
various process conditions.
Applications in process vessels with agitators require a radar transmitter
with the 5600s high sensitivity and advanced signal processing to
separate the measuring signal from noise created by disturbances.
Still-pipe or bridle mounting is recommended for LPG applications, where
the surface is sometimes boiling, and for some extremely turbulent
conditions. The pipe reduces foam and turbulence and also increases
surface reflection.
The Rod antenna is suitable for small nozzle openings on tanks with short
measuring range.
With the parabolic antenna the 5600 Series is suitable for
measurement of various types of solid materials (example: cement). Since
solid materials quite often generate dusty environments inside their
vessels and tanks, the parabolic antenna can be equipped with a
protective PTFE cover which prevents dust from sticking to the transmitting
portion of the antenna.
Interchangeable Head
A 5600 Radar Level Transmitter consists of a
Transmitter Head (TH) and a tank connection
including antenna. The TH and the electronics inside
are interchangeable without opening the tank.

Antennas
Rod Antenna
Suitable for tanks with small openings.
Existing tank flange can be used as the tank
connection.
Cone Antenna
Suitable for free-propagation and pipe
mounted installation.
Cone extensions are available (see Figure 18
on page Level-16 and Table 13 on
page Level-22).
Optional Cone antennas with cleaning/flushing
connection are available (see Figure 18 on
page Level-16 and Table 14 on
page Level-23).
Process Seal Antenna
The dish of the Process Seal
is made of PTFE.
Only exposes material suitable for hygienic or
corrosive applications
(see Figure 16 on page Level-15
and Table 11 on page Level-21).
Parabolic Antenna
Suitable for solid materials (example: cement)
Withstand heavy contamination
Can be equipped with a PTFE protective cover
to reduce the effects of dusty environments
Plate Design
FIGURE 3. Plate Design
Cone and Rod antennas, except the Cone with
Flushing Connection, are designed with a protective
plate as shown in FIGURE 3.. The plate and antenna
(stainless steel or optional material) together with the
tank seal and o-rings (PTFE or Quartz) are the
wetted parts exposed to the tank atmosphere. This
allows the use of an existing flange, or a lower cost
flange alternative. Loose flanges are available
(Table 18 on page Level-25).
Rosemount 2210 Display Unit
The Rosemount 2210 offers basic configuration
using the 4 software keys on the display itself. Data
presentation on the LCD can be customized and
allows many viewing alternatives. The 2210 is also
used if temperature sensors are to be connected to
the 5600 Series. See Table 8 on page Level-18 for
available versions.
Electrical Connections
The transmitter has a power supply with an
ultra-wide input range from 24 to 240 V AC or DC,
0-60 Hz.
The Transmitter Head has two separate junction
boxes. One is for a non-intrinsically safe primary
signal output and power supply cables. The other is
normally used for intrinsically safe (IS) HART/analog
outputs or optionally for a non-IS secondary analog
output.
Primary Outputs can be HART or FOUNDATION
fieldbus, either IS or Non-IS. The HART and
secondary analog outputs can be either active or
passive depending on required options.
Measuring Range
The diagrams below show how the measuring range
is influenced by the antenna type, dielectric constant
of the liquid (εr) and the process conditions. For
optimum performance the maximum measuring
distance should be kept within the range indicated
with darker color in the diagrams. Values are valid for
free propagation measurement without still-pipes
(bridles).
For liquids with εr that are smaller than 1.8 such as
liquefied gases, an 8 inch or bigger diameter antenna
is recommended if measurement is done with free
propagation. In this case the measuring range in
calm surface tanks is 50 ft (15 m).
To increase the measuring range further in turbulent
tanks, a still-pipe can be used. For still-pipe mounted
5600 transmitters the typical measuring range is
115-160 ft (35-50 m) in turbulent tanks with liquids
having εr less than 1.8.
The 5600 transmitter installed in a pipe can measure
products with a dielectric ≥1.4.
