To safely restart the Rosemount TankRadar Pro system, follow these steps:
1. Avoid Entering Certain Configuration Windows – Do not enter any Rosemount 2210 Display Unit configuration windows while the display unit is disconnected, as this may cause a software halt. 2. Cycle the Gauge Power – If a software halt occurs, turn off the gauge power and then turn it back on. 3. Restart the Unit – After power cycling, restart the unit. 4. Reconnect to Radar Master – If needed, go back to the configuration steps in Rosemount Radar Master and continue from where you left off.
These steps will ensure a proper restart without causing system errors.
Introduction The TankRadar Pro System ....page 1-1 Measurement Principle ..... . page 1-3 TankRadar Pro is a powerful radar level gauge suitable for non-contact level measurements in storage tanks and other types of tanks.
Page 8
As an option, your TankRadar Pro gauge can be equipped with an easy-to-use display unit. It offers basically the same functionality as the Pro Setup software package.
TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 MEASUREMENT The TankRadar Pro gauge sends a microwave signal with a continuously varying frequency towards the liquid surface. When the reflected signal PRINCIPLE returns to the antenna, it is mixed with the outgoing signal.
Reference Manual Ref. no: 306010En TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 MEASURING The following diagrams show how the measuring range is influenced by the antenna type, dielectric constant of the liquid (ε ) and the process conditions. RANGE Values are valid for free propagation measurement without still-pipes.
Reference Manual Ref. no: 306010En TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 NOZZLE In order to allow the microwaves to propagate undisturbed, the socket dimensions should be kept within the specified limits for the different REQUIREMENTS antennas.

This is especially relevant in tanks with sticky, viscous products. Before manufacturing a new still-pipe, we recommend that you contact Emerson Process Management / Rosemount Tank Gauging for advice.

Reference Manual Ref. no: 306010En TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 Use a spectrum plot to find your disturbance echoes.

Reference Manual Ref. no: 306010En TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 Some further considerations are: • If a water test is performed before the product enters the tank, there is probably a difference in signal amplitude between the water and the product.
Reference Manual Ref. no: 306010En TankRadar Pro Fifth Edition, February 2007 When should I register? See the recommendations below before you register new interfering echoes: • Make sure that a correct amplitude threshold is set before you register any disturbance echoes. See description of the Spectra Threshold window.

Do you have a question about the TankRadar Pro and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Good day Sir. Kindly let me know how to restart the Rosemont tank Radar system safely.
To safely restart the Rosemount TankRadar Pro system, follow these steps:
1. Avoid Entering Certain Configuration Windows – Do not enter any Rosemount 2210 Display Unit configuration windows while the display unit is disconnected, as this may cause a software halt.
2. Cycle the Gauge Power – If a software halt occurs, turn off the gauge power and then turn it back on.
3. Restart the Unit – After power cycling, restart the unit.
4. Reconnect to Radar Master – If needed, go back to the configuration steps in Rosemount Radar Master and continue from where you left off.
These steps will ensure a proper restart without causing system errors.
