Review mounting considerations

Before installing the Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter, consider recommendations for sufficient free
space, mounting position and special needs for non-metallic tanks.
3.3.1

Recommended mounting position

When finding an appropriate mounting position for the transmitter, the conditions of the tank must be
carefully considered. The transmitter should be mounted so that the influence of disturbing objects is
reduced to a minimum. For easy access to the transmitter make sure that it is mounted with sufficient
service space.

The following guidelines should be considered when mounting the transmitter:
Do not mount close to inlet pipes.

Do not mount close to agitators. If the probe can move to within 12 in. (30 cm) away from an agitator,

the probe should be anchored. See
If the probe tends to sway due to turbulent conditions in the tank, the probe should be anchored. See

"Anchor the probe" on page 30
Avoid mounting close to heating coils.
