Installation considerations

Before installing the transmitter, follow recommendations for mounting position, sufficient
free space, nozzle requirements, etc.
3.3.1 Mounting position
When finding an appropriate location on the tank for the transmitter, the conditions of the
tank must be carefully considered.
Consider the following guidelines when mounting the transmitter:
• For optimal performance, the transmitter should be installed in locations with a clear
and unobstructed view of the product surface.
• The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as possible within
the signal beam.
• Do not install the transmitter in the center of the tank.
• Do not mount close to or above the inlet stream.
• Multiple Rosemount 5408 transmitters can be used in the same tank without interfering
with each other.
