This product is a core component of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture. The 5600 series features the following: 1. Handles a wide range of process conditions due to high sensitivity and unique signal processing features; 2. High repeatability ensuring an extremely reliable and accurate level transmitter even in the toughest conditions; 3. Ultra-wide power supply, 24-240 V AC/DC, 0-60 Hz; 4. FOUNDATION™ fieldbus or analog 4-20 mA superimposed with HART®; 5. High flexibility with interchangeable transmitter heads and antennas; 6. No moving parts and no contact with the liquid; 7. Intelligent software support for easy configuration and setup; 8. Wide selection of antennas and materials.
The Rosemount 5600 Series is an intelligent non‑contacting radar level transmitter that uses a 10 GHz FMCW radar principle for high‑accuracy level measurement. It offers a wide power‑supply range (24‑240 V AC/DC, 0‑60 Hz), interchangeable heads and antennas, and supports HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, and 4‑20 mA analog outputs.
The datasheet includes detailed specifications such as instrument accuracy (+0.2 in/±5 mm), resolution (0.04 in/1 mm), repeatability (+0.04 in/±1 mm), measuring range (0‑164 ft/0‑50 m), and power consumption (max 10 W). Installation guidance covers mechanical mounting, antenna selection, and system integration via HART communicator, 2210 display unit, AMS, DeltaV, or PC‑based Radar Master software.
