Rosemount Process Radar
COMMISSIONING Follow this commissioning procedure for the first time the process is started at
actual operating conditions and actual process media.
Verification Review and verify that the following matches application and installation
requirements, as described in Section 2: 5300 Quick Installation Guide and
Section 3: 5300 Installation & Configuration.
• Mounting Considerations
• Mechanical Installation
• Electrical Installation
• Basic Configuration
• Advanced Configuration
Configuration Threshold settings
Recommended Threshold settings for the Rosemount 5300 Series:
1. Review threshold settings
2. If needed, use the following best practices to apply custom threshold
adjustments:
• Generally, the threshold should be at 40-50% of the surface peak.
Example: If the surface is 2000 mV, the threshold should be set at
800-1000 mV.
• It should never be closer than 300 mV to any disturbing objects.
Example: If there is a 1100 mV peak from an inlet-pipe, the threshold
around it should be 1400 mV.
• The threshold should never be below 800 mV in the range 0-1 ft (0.3 m)
and never below 500 mV from 1 ft (0.3 m) upwards.
