Emerson Process Management has announced availability of its Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar (GWR) level transmitters for SIL 2 safety instrumented systems. The 5300 series now comes with the required Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) report. As a result, companies can benefit from the superior performance of Guided Wave Radar (GWR) technology while ensuring compliance with associated IEC industry standards. he Rosemount 5300 series is a 2-wire GWR for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. It leverages the company’s 30 years of proven radar expertise and is designed to improve plant profitability through superior reliability, state-of-the-art safety features, effortless handling and unlimited connectivity. The transmitter has an enhanced capability to handle disturbing factors, longer measuring range, and lower dielectrics, even with a single probe. Its robust design prevents leakage and performs reliably, especially under extreme process conditions. Heavy-duty probes are available to meet the extreme temperatures and pressure challenges with multiple layer of protection and advanced echo logics for reliable overfill detection.

The 5300 series’ 2-wire technology enables fast and inexpensive installation. With user-friendly graphical interfaces and wizards, measure-and-learn functionality, suggestions for application-specific configuration and PlantWeb digital architecture functionality, the transmitter integrates easily into new or existing control systems.
