Rosemount 5900S with Parabolic Antenna
Rosemount 5900S with parabolic antenna is a premium non-contact radar level gauge. The
parabolic antenna is the first choice for installation on tanks with fixed roofs without a stillpipe. It can be installed on existing manhole covers and close to the tank wall due to the
narrow radar beam and high signal to noise ratio. In certain cases, it can be used on tanks
with floating roofs to measure the distance down to a target plate on the floating roof.
■ Measures all products ranging from light products to heavy fuel oil, bitumen and asphalt
■ Antenna design gives extreme tolerance to product build-up and condensation
■ Custody transfer accuracy according to OIML R85:2008
■ Certified SIL 2 and SIL 3 capable according to IEC 61508
■ 2-in-1 functionality available for redundant level measurement
■ Communicates via a 2-wire, low voltage Tankbus for easy and safe installation
■ Installation normally with tank in service
