Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Rosemount 5301 used for?
A1: The Rosemount 5301 is a guided wave radar level transmitter designed for continuous and accurate measurement of water levels and other liquids in tanks, vessels, and process applications.
Q2: How does guided wave radar technology work?
A2: It sends microwave pulses down a probe (rod, cable, or coaxial). The pulses reflect back when they reach the liquid surface, and the transmitter calculates the level based on the travel time.
Q3: What types of applications is it suitable for?
A3: It is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, oil & gas storage, power generation, and general industrial process control.
Q4: What are the main advantages of the 5301 compared to other level measurement technologies?
A4: It offers high accuracy (±3 mm), reliable performance under vapor, foam, or temperature changes, minimal maintenance, and flexible probe options for different tank conditions.
Q5: What is the maximum measurement range?
A5: The Rosemount 5301 can measure up to approximately 45 meters (150 feet), depending on probe type and process conditions.
Q6: Can it handle high temperature and pressure?
A6: Yes. It is designed for demanding environments, with operating ranges up to 260 °C and 400 bar, depending on configuration.
Q7: Is it easy to install and configure?
A7: Yes. The transmitter features a user-friendly interface, clear digital display, and flexible mounting options for straightforward installation and setup.
Q8: What maintenance is required?
A8: Guided wave radar technology requires very little maintenance. Routine checks are recommended, but calibration and servicing are minimal compared to mechanical or differential pressure devices.
