The Rosemount 5600 Series is an intelligent non-contacting radar level transmitter. Its high performance microprocessor allows for advanced signal processing and smart echo-tracking features. Together with its high sensitivity the radar transmitter can detect and evaluate all echoes within the tank or vessel. The 5600 Series support and assist the user to a successful configuration of the transmitter in process level applications, from easy to complex process situations.
- Handles a wide range of process conditions due to high sensitivity and unique signal processing features
- High repeatability ensuring an extremely reliable and accurate level transmitter even in the toughest conditions
- Ultra-wide power supply, 24-240 V AC/DC, 0-60 Hz
- FOUNDATION fieldbus or analog 4-20 mA superimposed with HART
- High flexibility with interchangeable transmitter heads and antennas
- No moving parts and no contact with the liquid
- Intelligent software support for easy configuration and setup
- Wide selection of antennas and materials
APPLICATIONS |
The Rosemount 5600 uses state-of-the art microwave technology to get highest reliability and precision. It measures the level of liquids and slurries. 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 5600’s 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). |
Rosemount 3300 Guided Wave Radar transmitters offer high reliability and performance.
Measurements are virtually unaffected by temperature, pressure, vapor gas mixtures, density, turbulence, bubbling / boiling, varying dielectric media and viscosity.
Since the waves are guided along the probe, this technology is excellent for small and narrow tanks / tank openings.
Suitable for measurements in:
- Chemical and petrochemical industry
- Oil and gas industry
- Pulp and paper industry
- Pharmaceuitcal plants
- Food and beverage industry
- Water and sewage treatment
- Hydroelectric dams and power plants

INTERCHANGEABLE HEAD |
| |
|
 |
A 5600 Radar Level Transmitter consists of a Plate Design 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
|
| Core Antenna |
- Suitable for free-propogation and pipe mounted installation
- Cone extensions are available
- Optional Cone antennas with cleaning / flushing connection are available
|
| Process Seal Antenna |
- The dish of the Process Seal is made of PTFE
- Only exposes material suitable for hygenic or corrosive applications
|
| Parabolic Antenna |
- Suitable for solid materials (example: cement)
- Withstand heavy contamination
|
|
PLATE DESIGN |
 |
Cone and Rod antennas, except the Cone with Flushing Connection, are designed with a protective plate as shown to the left.
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. |
SYSTEM INTEGRATION |
Level values are transmitted from the transmitter as analog 4-20 mA signals superimposed with HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus. The analog outputs are either passive for connection to powered cables or active providing signal power for 4-20 mA. Analog outputs can also be specified as intrinsically safe or non-intrinsically safe.
Basic configuration and setup can be done on a HART communicator, via the 2210 Display Unit, AMS, or DeltaV (for foundation fieldbus).
Rosemoutn Radar Master is a PC based software package that allows for full configuration, including advanced features such as Spectra plots, offline / online configuration capabilities, logging, extensive online help, etc. To communicate with the device using Radar Master, either a HART or Modbus Modem (RS485 Sensor Bus Port) is required for the PC. For fieldbus devices, Radar Master can only be connected to the Sensor Bus Port.
The Rosemoutn 5600 is a core component of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture. |

*Note: Intrinsically safe installations may allow fewer devices per I.S. barrier due to current limitations |

DISPLAY |
The Rosemount 2210 Display Unit 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.
Measurement Principle
The level of the product in the tank is measured by radar signals transmitted from the antenna at the tank top. After the radar signal is reflected by the product surface, the echo is picked up by the antenna. As the signal is varying in frequency, the echo has a slightly different frequency compared to the signal transmitted at that moment.
The difference in frequency is proportional to the distance to the product surface, and can be accurately calculated. This method is called FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and is used in all high performance radar transmitters. |
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. *Interface measurement only for fully immersed probe |
MECHANICAL MOUNTING |
The 5600 radar transmitter is easily carried to the tank top and mounted on a suitable nozzle or pipe. The radar transmitter should be installed as follows:
- Antenna oriented perpendicular to a horizontal surface
- The transmitter should be mounted with as few fittings as possible within the beam angle
- Filling inlets creating turbulence should preferably be kept at a distance
- Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger diameter concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain offers greater reflection of weak surface echoes.
