5.3 Basic configuration parameters
This chapter describes the basic parameters that need to be configured for a Rosemount 5400. 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 and Figure 5-3 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.
