Rosemount Raptor
Section 5. Installing a Raptor Level Gauging System
5.7 INSTALLING A ROSEMOUNT 5900S RADAR LEVEL GAUGE
The Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge is typically installed in 
TankMaster WinSetup as part of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub installation 
procedure. In a following step, the 5900S is configured via the 5900S RLG 
Properties
 window, see “Configuration via the Properties Window” on 
page 5-52. The
 5900S RLG Properties window includes tabs for basic and 
advanced configuration of a Rosemount 5900S.
When adding a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge to a Rosemount 2410 
Tank Hub in an existing Raptor system, the 5900S needs to be mapped to the 
appropriate tank in the 2410 tank database. Configuration is performed via 
the 5900S RLG Properties window. See “Adding a Tank to a Raptor System” 
on page 5-114 for
 further information.
A Rosemount 5900S is most conveniently installed by utilizing the integrated 
option included as part of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub installation 
procedure. 
The 5900S can also be installed and configured by using the WinSetup 
installation Wizard (see “Installing a 5900S Using the Installation Wizard” on 
page 5-58)
. This method should only be used in exceptional cases when, for 
example, the 5900S is connected to the Tankbus at a later stage and not 
available when installing the 2410 Tank Hub.
The following configuration steps are included in the 5900S Radar Level 
Gauge basic configuration:
• communication parameters
• antenna type
• tank geometry
Configuration of a 5900S may also include:
• Tank Scan
• Empty Tank Handling
Due to the properties of the product, the tank shape, or other circumstances, 
further configuration may be needed in addition to the basic configuration. 
Disturbing objects and turbulent conditions in the tank may also require that 
advanced measures are taken. The advanced configuration options include:
• Tank Environment
• Tank  Shape
• Surface Echo Tracking 
• Filter Settings
See “Advanced Configuration” on page 5-62 for further information on the 
advanced configuration options.
