Section 5: Basic Configuration/Start-up

Basic Configuration/Start-up
To communicate with the transmitter using RRM, a HART modem (part number
03300-7004-0001 or 03300-7004-0002) or a F
OUNDATION fieldbus modem (part number
03095-5108-0001 for PCMCIA) is required. For F
OUNDATION fieldbus communication you will
also need the National Instruments Communication Manager software (see “Installing the RRM
software for F
OUNDATION fieldbus” on page 88).
5.3 Basic configuration parameters
This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a Rosemount 5400
transmitter. If the transmitter is factory-configured according to the ordering specifications in
the Configuration Data Sheet, no further basic configuration is needed unless conditions have
changed since the ordering date.
Different configuration tools are described at the end of this section.
5.3.1 Measurement units
Measurement units can be specified for presentation of Level, Level Rate, Volume and
Temperature values.
5.3.2 Tank geometry
Tank height
The Tank Height is the distance between the Upper Reference Point, at the underside of the
transmitter flange or the threaded adapter, and the Lower Reference Point, close to or at the
bottom of the tank (see Figure 5-2 for further information on Upper Reference Points for
various tank connections). The transmitter measures the distance to the product surface and
subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine the product level.
