Environment; C.3.2 Environment - Emerson Rosemount 5408 Reference Manual

Top shape height
The height of the shape on tank top (typically from shape floor to cap top, measured at
cylinder center line).
Bottom shape height
The height of the shape at tank bottom (typically from shape floor to shape bottom,
measured at cylinder center line).
End shape length
The width of the spherical cap at tank end (measured at cylinder center line).
Show negative level as zero
When this setting is selected and the product surface is at or below Zero Level, the level
measurement output will be zero.

Environment

Product type
The media (liquid/solid) used in the monitored process.
•
•
The solids measurement mode should never be used for measuring liquid products due to
the solids specific signal processing method, and vice versa.
Note
Solid is not supported for a Rosemount 5408:SIS operating in Safety (SIS) mode.
Process conditions
Turbulent surface
Set this parameter to improve the performance of the transmitter when there are small
and local rapid level changes caused by surface turbulence. The reason for the turbulence
might be splash loading, agitators, mixers, or boiling product.
Foam
This parameter should be used if there is, or may be, surface foam. When setting this
parameter, the transmitter is optimized for conditions with weak and varying surface echo
amplitudes, which is typical for presence of surface foam.
Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Level Transmitters
Liquid (requires measurement type code 1 or 4)
Solid (requires measurement type code 3 or 4)
