Smart FMCW radar for level measurement
New Rosemount product ranges bring digital signal processing and industrial interfaces like HART and Foundation fieldbus to advanced radar technology, for liquid or slurry level measurement
The Rosemount 5600 Series is an intelligent non-contact radar level measurement transmitter for process applications, on liquids and slurries The unit is available with a variety of antennae for measurement up to 20m in a wide range of applications: operational measurement range depends on the liquid properties and the surface agitation

The Rosemount 5600 radar gauge from Emerson Process Management demonstrates reliable performance in the stickiest applications, using advanced signal processing and smart echo tracking features
A new Emerson radar liquid level transmitter
Echo-tracking and advanced signal processing in the new Rosemount 5600 radar level transmitter give high reliability and accuracy for liquid level measurement, with full industrial control interfacing
Smart FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) echo-tracking features and advanced signal processing techniques combine to give the 5600 Series high reliability and accuracy, even in the toughest conditions.
The Rosemount 5600 uses a software module that incorporates all the experience accumulated in thousands of Saab-Rosemount radar installations around the world, to discriminate between false echo sources and true surface echoes.
This software can also use information provided by the operator about stirrers or other obstructions as a complement to the automatically collected data.
The Rosemount 5600 integrates with PlantWeb digital plant architecture, and can provide HART or Foundation fieldbus digital communications protocols, or a standard analogue output.
For local monitoring, the unit has an integral display, and four software keypads for basic initial configuration: remote displays and as many as six externally mounted temperature sensors can be driven from the Rosemount 5600.
The transmitter head has two separate junction boxes, one for non-intrinsically safe power supplies, 24-240V AC/DC, and one for the analogue output circuits and digital interface, which can be intrinsically safe, active or passive.
The Rosemount 5600 brings the best in radar level gauging technology - accuracy, reliability, no liquid contact, no moving parts - with full industrial control interfacing. Request a free brochure from Emerson Process Management ...
