Rosemount 5300 Series GWR Verification Reflector

Thursday, 10 April, 2014 | Supplied by: Emerson Automation Solutions


The Verification Reflector function, now available with the Rosemount 5300 Series GWR transmitters, is designed for applications requiring periodic transmitter integrity tests to ensure that the level measurement device functions correctly and overfilling will not occur.

In the past, most guided wave radar transmitters have required the fluid level in the vessel to be raised to the alarm point. The Verification Reflector function eliminates the need for this procedure by using an adjustable reference reflector fitted to the probe of the guided wave radar. During commissioning, the location and amplitude characteristics of the reflector are stored in the transmitter. When the test procedure is later initiated, the stored reflector data is compared to the current measurement to verify the integrity of the measurement electronics and upper part of the probe.

Compared with traditional diagnostics that only monitor the transmitter electronics, the verification reflector can also be used to diagnose any problems with the upper parts of the probe inside the tank. These include product build-up, corrosion monitoring and other process related conditions.

Easy to fit and adjust, the Verification Reflector is suitable for Rosemount 5300 Series guided wave radars with single flexible stainless steel probes (4 mm) and firmware 2.H0 or higher, with the software option enabled.
