  • Page 12: Introduction

    Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 INTRODUCTION In addition to selecting the appropriate radar level transmitter, mechanical installation is one of the most critical steps of the commissioning procedure. When done correctly, the subsequent transmitter configuration will be considerably simplified.
  • Page 13 Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 Anchoring a Flexible Single Lead probe A magnet can be fastened to a threaded (M8x14) hole at the end of the weight. Placing a metal plate beneath the magnet, as illustrated in Figure 2-2, will help to guide the probe.
  • Page 14 Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 Installation in pipes A centering disk is recommended when installing in pipes to prevent the probe from contacting the chamber wall. The disk is attached to the end of the probe to keep the probe centered in the chamber.

  • Page 15: Transition Zones

    (4) Note that the weight length adds to non-measurable area. For more information, see Dimensional Drawings in the Guided Wave Radar Level and Interface Transmitter, Rosemount 3300 Series Product Data Sheet (Document No. 00813-0100-4811). (5) The measuring range for the PTFE covered Flexible Single Lead probe includes the weight when measuring on a high dielectric media.
  • Page 16 Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 The weight on the flexible probes reduces the measurement range. Therefore, it is recommended to dimension the cage (A, C) so it does not interfere with the effective measurement range (B). The transition zones also limit the minimum probe length.

    Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 Process Connections There are a few different types of Process Connections used in these applications. Below are some directions and guidelines on how to install and what to consider for the various connections. Flanged connections Below are recommendations for the nozzle configuration and dimensions for flanged installations on top of the tank/vessel.

(100 mm) threaded connections on top of the tank roof. For this connection, install the Rosemount 3300 / 5300 transmitters with a 1 ½-in.
  • Page 20 Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 Side mounted process connection In some cases, tanks might not have top process connections suitable for installation of Guided Wave Radar units, so side mounted process connections are a viable and reliable installation practice. Certain precautions must be taken to ensure successful level measurements in these vessels.
  • Page 21 Reference Manual 00809-0600-4811, Rev AA Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters February 2009 For side mounting with a Rigid Single Lead probe, the probe is bent at a 90° angle to ensure that the probe extends into the tank and away from the tank wall.
