Rosemount Raptor
5-94 Section 5. Installing a Raptor Level Gauging System
12. Select the Geometry tab.
13. Enter the Tank Reference Height (R). The Tank Reference height is
defined as the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the Zero
Reference Point
14. Enter the Reference Distance (G). Reference Distance is the distance
between the Upper Reference Point and the flange.
15. Enter the Calibration Distance. Use this variable to adjust the Tank
Reference Height (R) so that measured product levels match the hand
dipped level values. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary when the
device is installed. For example, a minor deviation between the actual
tank height and the value stored in the devcie database may occur if tank
dimensions according to drawings are not quite up to date with actual
dimensions.
16. Choose the appropriate Mounting Type; Pipe Chamber, Direct Bracket,
or Nozzle. Choose Unknown if none of these is appropriate. Depending
on the chosen mounting type you may also need to specify other
parameters such as Inner Diameter and Nozzle Height.
17. Select the Show level below probe end as zero check box if you want
the 5300 to present negative product levels as zero.
18. Click the Apply button to store the configuration, or click the OK button
to store the configuration and close the window.
