(TDR) principles. Low power nano-second-pulses are guided along a probe immersed in the process media. When a pulse reaches the surface of the material it is measuring, part of the energy is reflected back to the transmitter, and the time difference between the generated and reflected pulse is converted into a distance from which the total level or interface level is calculated (see below). The reflectivity of the product is a key parameter for measurement performance. A high dielectric constant of the media gives better reflection and a longer measuring range. A calm surface gives better reflection than a turbulent surface. Figure 2-1. Measurement Principle. Signal Amplitude Reference Pulse Level Interface Level Time APPLICATION EXAMPLES The Rosemount 3308 transmitter is suited for aggregate (total) level measurements on most liquids, semi-liquids, and liquid/liquid interfaces. Guided microwave technology offers highest reliability and precision which ensure measurements are virtually unaffected by temperature, pressure, vapor gas mixtures, density, turbulence, bubbling/boiling, low level, varying dielectric media, pH, and viscosity. Guided wave radar technology in combination with advanced signal processing make the Rosemount 3308 transmitter suitable for a wide range of applications. 2-3 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Boiling conditions with vapor and turbulence For these applications the Coaxial probe is particularly suitable. Bridle applications The Rosemount 3308 transmitter is well suited for bridle applications, such as distillation columns. 2-4 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Separator tanks The Rosemount 3308 measures both level and interface level. Underground tanks The Rosemount 3308 transmitter is a good choice for underground tanks since it is installed on the tank top with the radar pulse concentrated near the probe. It can be equipped with probes that are unaffected by high and narrow openings or nearby objects. Small ammonia, NGL and LPG tanks Guided wave radar technology is a good choice for reliable measurements in small ammonia, NGL and LPG tanks. 2-5 Rosemount 3308 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The Rosemount 3308 transmitter is battery powered with wireless communication which means the unit works completely independent. By using the optional HART Tri-loop, it is possible to convert the HART signal to up to three additional 4-20 mA analog signals. With the HART protocol it is possible to use multidrop configuration. In this case communication is restricted to digital since current is fixed to the 4 mA minimum value. The transmitter can be connected to display Rosemount 751 Field Signal Indicator or it can be equipped with an integral display. The transmitter can easily be configured by using the AMS suite software or by using a Field Communicator. A PC with the Radar Configuration Tool software can also be used for configuration. For HART communication a minimum load resistance of 250 within the loop is required. Figure 2-2. System architecture. Rosemount 3308 Wireless Guided Wave Radar Transmitter Smart Wireless Gateway Integral Display Field Communicator AMS Suite 2-6 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Interface Figure 2-3. Interface measurement with a Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Rosemount 3308 is the ideal choice for measuring the interface of oil and water, or other liquids with significant dielectric differences. Level Interface Level Level = Interface Level All probes can be used for measuring interfaces. The coaxial probe is the preferred choice for clean liquids and when the bridle is not fully immersed. In applications with a fully immersed probe, the twin lead probes are recommended for nozzle installations, and the rigid single lead probe is best for bridle mounting. For measuring the interface level, the transmitter uses the residual wave of the first reflection. Part of the wave, which was not reflected at the upper product surface, continues until it is reflected at the lower product surface. The speed of this wave depends fully on the dielectric constant of the upper product. If interface is to be measured, the following criteria have to be fulfilled:
The dielectric constant of the upper product must be known. The Radar Configuration Tools software has a built-in dielectric constant calculator to assist users in determining the dielectric constant of the upper product. The dielectric constant of the upper product must have a lower dielectric constant than the lower product in order to have a distinct reflection. The difference between the dielectric constants for the two products must be larger than 10. Maximum dielectric constant for the upper product is 10 for the coaxial probe and 5 for twin lead probes. The upper product thickness must be larger than 8 inches (0.2 m) for the flexible twin lead probe and 4 inches (0.1 m) for the rigid twin lead and coaxial probes in order to distinguish the echoes of the two liquids. The maximum allowable upper product thickness/measuring range is primarily determined by the dielectric constants of the two liquids. Target applications include interfaces between oil/oil-like and water/water-like liquids. For such applications the upper product dielectric constant is low (<3) and the lower product dielectric constant is high (>20), and the maximum measuring range is only limited by the length of the coaxial and rigid twin lead probes. 2-7 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Emulsion Layers Sometimes there is an emulsion layer (mix of the products) between the two products which, depending on its characteristics, will affect interface measurements. Please consult factory for guidelines on how to handle emulsion layers. 2-8 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 VESSEL CHARACTERISTICS Heating Coils, Agitators Tank Shape PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 The Rosemount 3308 transmitter is relatively insensitive to objects in the tank since the radar signal is transmitted along a probe. Avoid physical contact between probes and agitators as well as applications with strong fluid movement unless the probe is anchored. If the probe can move within 1 ft (30 cm) away from any object, such as an agitator, during operation then probe tie-down is recommended. In order to stabilize the probe for side forces, it is possible to hang a weight at the probe end (flexible probes only) or fix/guide the probe to the tank bottom. The guided wave radar transmitter is insensitive to the tank shape. Since the radar signal travels along a probe, the shape of the tank bottom has virtually no effect on the measurement performance. The transmitter handles flat or dish-bottom tanks equally well. 2-9 Rosemount 3308 COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMITTER PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The Rosemount 3308 transmitter has an aluminum transmitter housing which contains advanced electronics for signal processing. The radar electronics produces an electromagnetic pulse which is guided by the probe. There are different probe types available for various applications: Flexible Twin Lead, Rigid Single Lead, Flexible Single Lead, and Coaxial. Figure 2-4. Transmitter components.

Transition Zones PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The measuring range depends on probe type and properties of the product. The Upper Transition Zone is the minimum measurement distance between the upper reference point and the product surface. The Upper Transition Zone varies between 4 - 20 in. (0.1 and 0.5 m) depending on probe type and product. At the end of the probe the measuring range is reduced by the Lower Transition Zone. The Lower Transition Zone also varies depending on probe type and product. Figure 2-5 illustrates how the measuring range is related to the Transition Zones:

Tank Geometry PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 The Rosemount 3308 transmitter can be configured for level, volume, interface level, and interface distance measurements. The Rosemount 3308 transmitter can be pre-configured according to the ordering specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet. The basic transmitter configuration includes setting the tank geometry parameters. For interface measurements the dielectric constant of the top liquid must also be given. For some applications with heavy vapor, the vapor dielectric must be given as well. Product Level Interface Level Upper Reference Point Upper Null Zone URV Probe Length Tank Height LRV Lower Reference Point Figure 5-4. Upper Reference Point For the different tank connections the Upper Reference Point is located at the underside of the threaded adapter or at the underside of the welded flange, as illustrated in Figure 5-4:
Adapter Upper Reference Point NPT BSP (G) FLANGE 5-3 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Tank Height The Tank Height is the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the bottom of the tank. The transmitter measures the distance to the product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine the level. Probe Length The probe length is the distance between the Upper Reference Point and the end of the probe. If a weight is used at the end of the probe it shall not be included. This parameter is pre-configured at factory. It must be changed if the probe is shortened. Probe Type The transmitter is designed to optimize measurement performance for each probe type. This parameter is pre-configured at factory. This value needs to be changed if the probe type is changed. Dielectric Constant of Upper Product For interface measurements the dielectric constant of the upper product is essential in order to obtain good accuracy. See section Interface on page 2-7 for further information on dielectric constants. If the dielectric constant of the lower product is significantly smaller than the dielectric constant of water, you may need to make special adjustments. See section Interface Measurements for Semi-Transparent Bottom Products on page 7-5 for further information. For level measurements the Upper Product Dielectric parameter corresponds to the actual dielectric constant of the product in the tank. Normally this parameter does not need to be changed even if the actual dielectric constant of the product deviates from the Upper Product Dielectric parameter value. However, for some products measurement performance can be optimized by setting the proper product dielectric constant. Dielectric Constant of Vapor In some applications there is heavy vapor above the product surface having a significant influence on the level measurement. In such cases the vapor dielectric can be entered to compensate for this effect. The default value is equal to 1 which corresponds to the dielectricity of vacuum. Normally this value does not need to be changed since the effect on measurement performance is very small for most vapors. 5-4 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Upper Null Zone This parameter should only be changed if there are measurement problems in the upper part of the tank. Such problems may occur if there are disturbing objects close to the probe. By setting the Upper Null Zone, the measuring range is reduced. See Section 7: Disturbances at the Top of the Tank for further information. NOTE Measurements are not performed within the Upper Null Zone. Probe angle If the transmitter is not mounted vertically, the angle from the vertical position must be given. 5-5 Rosemount 3308 Volume Configuration PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 For volume calculations you can choose one of the standard tank shapes or the strapping option. Choose None if volume calculation is not used. Tank Type You can choose one of the following options:
Strap table Vertical Cylinder Horizontal Cylinder Vertical Bullet Horizontal Bullet Sphere None Strapping Table Use a strapping table if a standard tank type does not provide sufficient accuracy. Use most of the strapping points in regions where the tank shape is non-linear. A maximum of 10 points can be added to the strapping table. Figure 5-5. Strapping points Actual tank bottom may look like this. Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume profile that is more angular than the actual shape. Using 6 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom. 5-6 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Standard Tank Shapes Figure 5-6.

The transmitter outputs a digital HART wireless signal. You may assign up to four transmitter variables. Typically, the primary variable
(PV) is configured to be Aggregate Level, Interface Level or Volume. Set transmitter units for level and temperature. The Tank Height is the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the bottom of the tank (see Figure 5-3 on page 5-3). When setting the Tank Height, keep in mind that this value is used for all level measurements performed by the Rosemount 3308 transmitter. The Tank Height must be set in linear (level) units, such as feet or meters, regardless of primary variable assignment. The probe length is the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the end of the probe, see Figure 5-3. If the probe is anchored to a weight do not include the height of the weight. This parameter is pre-configured at factory. The Probe Length needs to be changed if, for example, the probe is shortened. 5-9 Rosemount 3308 Probe Type HART Comm TO BE ADDED Product Dielectric HART Comm TO BE ADDED Vapor Dielectric HART Comm TO BE ADDED PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The transmitter automatically makes an initial calibration based on the type of probe that is used. This parameter is pre-configured at factory and only needs to be set if the probe is changed to another type. Choose one of the following options:
Flexible Twin Coaxial Rigid Single, Rigid Single PTFE Flexible Single, Flexible Single PTFE For interface measurements the dielectric constant of the upper product is essential for calculating the interface level and the upper product thickness. By default the Product Dielectric parameter is about 2. If the dielectric constant of the lower product is significantly smaller than the dielectric constant of water, you may need to make special adjustments. See section Interface Measurements for Semi-Transparent Bottom Products on page 7-5 for further information.The dielectric constant of the product is used for setting the appropriate signal amplitude thresholds, see Section 7: Service and Troubleshooting for more information on amplitude threshold settings. Normally this parameter does not need to be changed for level measurements. However, for some products measurement performance can be optimized by setting the proper product dielectric constant. The AMS Suite software includes a Dielectric Chart which lists the dielectric constants of a wide range of products. AMS also includes a tool which allows you to calculate dielectric constants based on measurements of the Upper Product Thickness. In some applications there is heavy vapor above the product surface having a significant influence on the level measurement. In such cases the vapor dielectric can be entered to compensate for this effect. The default value is equal to 1 which corresponds to the dielectric constant of vacuum. Normally this value does not need to be changed since the effect on measurement performance is very small for most vapors. 5-10 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Measurement Mode HART Comm TO BE ADDED Table 5-2. Measurement Mode PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Normally the Measurement Mode does not need to be changed. The transmitter is pre-configured according to the specified model:
Model 3308
(1) Default setting Measurement Mode Level, Level and Interface(1), Interface Immersed probe Interface Immersed Probe is used for applications where the probe is fully immersed in liquid. In this mode the transmitter ignores the upper product level. See Section 7: Interface Measurements with Fully Immersed Probes for more information. NOTE!
Only use Interface Immersed Probe for applications where interface is measured for a fully immersed probe. Probe Angle HART Comm TO BE ADDED Enter the angle between the probe and the vertical line. The default value is equal to zero. Do not change this value if the transmitter is mounted with the probe along the vertical line (which is normally the case). Maximum Upper Product Thickness HART Comm TO BE ADDED Display HART Comm TO BE ADDED For interface measurements the Maximum Upper Product Thickness parameter may be used in special cases when the dielectric constant of the upper product is relatively high. By setting this parameter you can avoid that interface measurements are getting out of range.

Add warnings When the Power Module needs to be replaced, remove the Power Module cover and the depleted Power Module. Replace the power module with a new Black Power Module, SmartPower Solutions model number 701PBKKF. Replace the cover and ensure that the power module cover is fully tightened to prevent moisture ingress. The lip of the power module cover should be in contact with the metal enclosure to ensure a proper seal. Do not over tighten. Handling Considerations The Black Power Module with the wireless unit contains two "C" size primary lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each Power Module. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the battery pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature discharge. Use caution when handling the power module, it may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 ft (6 m). Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged. Environmental Considerations As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations should be consulted for proper management of spent batteries. If no specific requirements exist, recycling through a qualified recycler is encouraged. Consult the materials safety data sheet for battery specific information. Shipping Considerations The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Please remove the power module prior to shipping. Each Black Power Module contains two "C" size primary lithium batteries. Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and are also covered by International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ARD). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local requirements. Please consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.

). Please Explosions could result in death or serious injury. Verify that the operating environment of the gauge is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications. Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices. In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter cover when power is applied to the unit. Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or serious injury. Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation. Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment. Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are qualified. High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock. Avoid contact with leads and terminals. Make sure the main power to the Rosemount 3308 transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the gauge. Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge. Process leaks could result in death or serious injury. Make sure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the Process Seal is damaged, gas might escape from the tank if the transmitter head is removed from the probe. www.rosemount.com PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 This section covers non-standard configuration. If you want to specify your own Upper Reference Point you can do this by setting the Calibration Offset parameter. Rosemount 3308 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION User defined Upper Reference Point Figure 7-1. Tank Geometry Upper Reference Point Transmitter Reference Point Calibration Offset Tank Height Product Level To set the desired upper reference point do the following:
1. Adjust the Tank Height to the distance from the tank bottom to the desired Upper Reference Point. 2. Add the distance between the Upper Reference Point and the Transmitter Reference Point to the Calibration Offset value that is stored in the transmitter database. With the HART Communicator the Calibration Offset is available as HART Fast Key sequence [1, 4, 5, 5]. In Radar Configuration Tool (RCT) the Calibration Offset is available under the Advanced section in the RCT Project Bar:
Device Commands>Basic>Set Calibration Offset. 7-2 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Plotting the Measurement Signal PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 The Radar Configuration Tool (RCT) has powerful tools for advanced troubleshooting. By using the Waveform Plot function you get an instant view of the tank signal. Measurement problems can be solved by studying the position and amplitude of the different pulses. To plot the measurement signal:
1. Start the Radar Configuration Tool program. 2. Choose the View>Plotting menu option, or choose the Plotting icon in the RCT workspace (Advanced page at the left side of the workspace) and click the Read button. Figure 7-2. Waveform plot in RCT Upper Null Zone
In a typical measurement situation the following pulses appear in the diagram:
P1 - Reference pulse. This pulse is caused by the transition between transmitter head and probe. It is used by the transmitter as a reference at level measurements. P2 - Product surface. This pulse is caused by a reflection on the product surface. In Measurement Mode=Interface when Immersed Probe however, P2 indicates the interface since the surface of the upper product is ignored. P3 - Interface or probe end. This pulse is caused by reflection on the interface between an upper product and a bottom product with a relatively high dielectric constant. It may also be caused by the probe end if there is no product above. This pulse is shown when the transmitter is in Measurement Mode=Level & Interface. Different amplitude thresholds are used in order to filter out unwanted signals. The following amplitude thresholds are used for the Rosemount 3308 transmitter:
T1 - amplitude threshold for detection of the Reference pulse P1. T2 - amplitude threshold for detection of the product level peak P2. T3 - amplitude threshold for detection of the interface level peak P3. T4 - amplitude threshold that is used to detect whether the probe is fully immersed in the upper product or not. 7-3 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Normally the thresholds are adjusted to approximately 50% of the signal peak amplitude. To adjust the Amplitude Thresholds open the Advanced section in the RCT Project Bar and choose Device Commands>Details>Set Nominal Thresholds. To reset the default values set Amplitude Threshold=0 (zero). Logging and saving to disk The Waveform plot can be automatically logged and saved to file by specifying the read plot interval and the number of plots to log. Figure 7-3. Disk logging Waveform plot Read action type Start monitoring Start disk logging Read plot interval Number of plots The Read Plot Interval entry field specifies the time interval between plots that are saved to disk. For example, type 10 if you want the waveform plot to be updated every ten minutes. Number of plots to log specifies the maximum number of plot files that will be stored. The default value is 100. Click the Start Disk Logging button to start the log. Make sure that Read Action type is set to Multiple Read. Otherwise RCT will only save one log file. Choose a destination folder and enter a file name. For each new file the corresponding number is appended to the end of the file name. 7-4 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Interface Measurements for Semi-Transparent Bottom Products PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 In interface applications where the bottom product has a low dielectric constant, or if the signal is attenuated in the upper product, the amplitude of the reflected signal is relatively low and difficult for the transmitter to detect. In such a case it may be possible to detect the reflected signal if the corresponding amplitude threshold is adjusted. The Radar Configuration Tool (RCT) lets you view a waveform plot to analyze the measurement signal. The plot shows the signal and the thresholds used for the different amplitude peaks. By adjusting amplitude threshold T3 it is possible to detect even weak interface signals. Guidelines for amplitude threshold settings:
The amplitude threshold T3 should be approximately 50 % of the interface signal amplitude. Threshold T3 should not be less than 3. If possible, T3 should be higher than T2. You can use the RCT software or a Field Communicator to change the amplitude thresholds. For the Field Communicator use the HART command
[1, 4, 5, 3]. See also Amplitude Threshold Settings on page 7-12. RCT lets you view a plot of the measurement signal along with the current thresholds:
1. From the View menu choose the Plotting option, or double-click the Plotting icon in the Advanced section of the RCT Project Bar. 2. Click the Read button 3. To adjust the Amplitude Thresholds open the Advanced section in the RCT Project Bar and choose Device Commands>Details>Set Nominal Thresholds. Figure 7-4. Waveform plot indicating that the amplitude threshold for the interface peak is too high. The amplitude threshold is above the measurement signal peak 7-5 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Figure 7-4 illustrates a situation where amplitude threshold T3 is too high. The signal amplitude peak at the interface between the upper and lower products is not detected in this case. By adjusting amplitude threshold T3, the peak at the interface between the upper and lower products is detected as illustrated in Figure 7-5:
Figure 7-5. After changing the amplitude threshold the transmitter detects the interface The amplitude threshold is adjusted below the peak to allow the interface peak to be detected 7-6 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 High Level Rates PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 The measurement signal is filtered in order to minimize the influence of disturbing noise. In most measurement situations this does not have a noticeable effect on the response time to level changes. If high level rates occur it may however be necessary to reduce the damping value in order to allow the transmitter to respond quicker. If there is too much noise the damping value may be increased in order to get a stable measurement signal. You can use the RCT software or a Field Communicator to change the Damping value. For the HART Communicator use the key sequence
[1, 3, 5]. In the RCT software open the Setup>Output tab and enter the desired Damping value:
Output tab Damping The Damping parameter determines how quickly the transmitter responds to level changes and how robust the measurement signal is against noise. Technically, a damping value of 10 means that in 10 seconds the output from the transmitter is about 63% of the new level value. Consequently, when there are rapid level changes in the tank, it may be necessary to decrease the Damping value for the transmitter to be able to track the surface. On the other hand, in noisy environments, and if level rates are low, it may be better to increase the damping value to have a stable output signal. 7-7 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The Rosemount 3308 transmitter has a measurement option which makes it possible to handle interface measurements when the product level is not visible, for example in a full bridle pipe as illustrated in Figure 7-6. In this case the probe is fully immersed into the upper product, and only the interface level is detected by the transmitter. Even if the upper product level drops, it is ignored by the transmitter which continues to measure only the interface level, but the measurement accuracy is reduced since the transmitter does not take into account the influence of the air gap above the product surface. The Measurement Mode parameter is available via the HART command [1, 3, 3, 4]. Choose the Interface when Immersed Probe option. Measurement mode Interface when Immersed Probe can also be activated in the RCT software:
1. Open the Setup window. 2. Select the Tank Config tab. 3. Choose Measurement Mode Interface when Immersed Probe. 4. Click the Send Page button. NOTE!
Do not use Measurement Mode Interface when Immersed Probe in standard applications when both Interface Level and Product Level are measured. If the product level drops, the air filled region in the upper part of the pipe will slightly reduce the measurement accuracy of the interface level. To achieve high accuracy in this measurement mode the probe must be fully immersed. Rosemount 3308 Interface Measurements with Fully Immersed Probes Figure 7-6.

Distance and Level calibration PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 When calibrating the transmitter it is important that the product surface is calm and that the tank is not being filled or emptied. A complete calibration is performed in two steps:
1. Calibrate the Distance measurement by adjusting the Calibration Offset parameter. 2. Calibrate the Level measurement by adjusting the Tank Height. Distance calibration 1. Measure the actual distance between the Upper Reference Point and the product surface. 2. Adjust the Calibration Offset so that the Distance measured by the transmitter corresponds to the actual distance. The Calibration Offset parameter is available via HART command [1, 4, 5, 5], or RCT: open the Advanced section in the Project Bar and choose Device Commands>Basics>Set Calibration Offset. Level calibration 1. Measure the actual Product Level. 2. Adjust the Tank Height so that the measured Product Level corresponds with the actual level. Reference Point Reference Point Distance Tank Height Level 7-9 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Using the Trim Near Zone Function For transmitters using the Guided Wave Radar technology the performance In the Near Zone (referred to as the region between 0-1.6 ft (0-0.5 m) below the Upper Reference Point) is normally somewhat limited. However, the Rosemount 3308 transmitter is equipped with software functionality that minimizes the Upper Transition Zone. The factory setting is normally sufficient and doesnt need to be repeated after installation. However, since the setting is optimized depending on actual installation, further trimming may be necessary in the case of unfavorable conditions. This may for example be the case if a Single Lead probe is mounted in a small nozzle, or if there are disturbing obstacles in the Near Zone. The trimming means that the measurement performance in the Near Zone is maintained even under these conditions and prevents false echo indication. To trim the Near Zone performance do the following:
1. Make sure that the product level is below the Near Zone region
(0-1.6 ft (0-0.5 m) below the Upper Reference Point). 2. Start the Radar Configuration Tools (RCT). 3. Choose the Device Commands option from the View menu. 4. Open the Details folder. 5. Click the Trim Near Zone option. 6. Select the Update option and click the OK button. NOTE!
The Trim Near Zone function should only be used for reducing impact from constant disturbances. It is not suitable for occasional disturbances. To reset the transmitter to factory settings do the following:
1. Start the Radar Configuration Tools (RCT). 2. Choose the Device Commands option from the View menu. 3. Open the Details folder. 4. Click the Trim Near Zone option. 5. Select the Reset to Factory Settings option and click the OK button. Changing the Upper Null Zone Measurements are not performed within the Upper Null Zone (UNZ). By setting the UNZ parameter to zero, measurements can be performed in the region close to the flange (Near Zone). However, it is very important that there are no disturbances in that region if UNZ is set to zero. If there are measurement problems in the upper part of the tank you may use the Trim Near Zone function as described above. If the desired measurement range is below the Near Zone, or if disturbing objects are located below the Near Zone, the Upper Null Zone parameter can be used to avoid measurements above a certain level. Rosemount 3308 Disturbances at the Top of the Tank 7-10 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 To set the Upper Null Zone do one of the following:

7-11 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 The amplitude thresholds are automatically adjusted to appropriate values in order to filter out noise and other non-valid measurements from the measurement signal. The amplitude of the measurement signal, i.e. the amplitude of the signal that is reflected by the product surface, is related to the actual dielectric constant of the product. The amplitude threshold that is used by the transmitter is based on the parameter configuration of the current product dielectric constant (see Section 5: Basic Configuration). Normally no other threshold adjustment is needed, but if the transmitter still does not track the product surface correctly it may be necessary to adjust the threshold values. The Radar Configuration Tool (RCT) has a plot function allowing you to view the reflections along the probe. If the amplitude threshold is too high the product level is not detected as illustrated in Figure 7-10. e d u t i l p m A 100 80 60 40 20 0

Certain models of flanged Alloy and PTFE covered probes have a tank connection design with a protective flange plate of the same material as the probe and with a backing flange in 316L / EN 1.4404. The protective flange plate prevents the backing flange from being exposed to the tank atmosphere For Alloy C-276 and Alloy 400, probes with flange plate design is available up to Class 300/PN 40. For PTFE, probes with flange plate design is available up to Class 150/PN 16 See Table A-2 for the conditions used for flange strength calculations The Rosemount 3308 is a good choice for measuring the interface of oil and water, or other liquids with significant dielectric differences. It is also possible to measure interfaces with a Rosemount 3308 in applications where the probe is fully submerged in the liquid. If interface is to be measured, follow these criteria:
The dielectric constant of the upper product must be known and should not vary. The Radar Configuration Tools software has a built-in dielectric constant calculator to assist the user in determining the dielectric constant of the upper product Level = Interface Level Level Interface Level The dielectric constant of the upper product must have a lower dielectric constant than the lower product to have a distinct reflection Interface Measurement Interface Measurement with fully submerged probe The difference between the dielectric constants for the two products must be larger than 10 Max. dielectric constant for the upper product is 10 for the coaxial probe and 5 for twin lead probes The upper product thickness must be larger than 8 in. (0.2 m) for the flexible twin lead probe;
4 in. (0.1 m) for the rigid twin lead, and coaxial probes in order to distinguish the echoes of the two liquids Sometimes there is an emulsion layer (mix of the products) between the two products which can affect interface measurements.

Due to the measuring range depending on the application and factors described below, the values are a guideline for clean liquids. For more information, ask your local Emerson Process Management representative. Different parameters (factors) affect the echo and therefore the maximum measuring range differs depending on application according to:
Disturbing objects close to the probe Media with higher dielectric constants (r) give better reflection and allow a longer measuring range Surface foam and particles in the tank atmosphere may affect measuring performance Heavy coating or contamination on the probe should be avoided since it can reduce measuring range and might cause erroneous level readings Note: See Table A-5 on page A-7 for the measuring range when using the Remote Housing. Target applications include interfaces between oil; oil-like and water; and water-like liquids with a low (<3) upper product dielectric constant and a high (>20) lower product dielectric constant. For such applications, the max measuring range is only limited by the length of the coaxial, rigid twin and rigid single lead probes. Note: For other product combinations, consult your local Emerson Process Management representative.

However, the following circumstances should be considered before mounting the transmitter. Single lead probes are preferred when there is a risk for contamination (because coating can result in product bridging across the two leads for twin versions; between the inner lead and outer pipe for the coaxial probe) PTFE probes are recommended for viscous or sticky applications. Periodic cleaning might be required Maximum error due to coating is 1 to 10% depending on probe type, dielectric constant, coating thickness, and coating height above product surface Coating on the probe should be avoided since the sensitivity of the transmitter may be decreased leading to measurement errors. In viscous or sticky applications, periodic cleaning may be required. For viscous or sticky applications, it is important to choose a suitable probe (see Table A-6 on page A-7). Heavy coating that results in product bridging across the two probes for twin lead versions, or between the pipe and the inner rod for coaxial probes, will cause erroneous level readings and must be prevented. Single lead probes are preferred in this case. If a Twin Lead probe is required, regular cleaning may be necessary. How well the Rosemount 3308 transmitter measures in foamy applications depends upon the properties of the foam; light and airy or dense and heavy, high or low dielectrics, etc. If the foam is conductive and creamy the transmitter will probably measure the surface of the foam. If the foam is less conductive the microwaves will probably penetrate the foam and measure the liquid surface. In some applications, as ammonia, there is heavy vapor above the product surface that will influence the level measurement. The Rosemount 3308 transmitter can be configured to compensate for the influence of vapor.

Tank Connection and Probe Tank Connection The tank connection consists of a tank seal, a flange, Tri-Clamp, or NPT or BSP/G threads. Certain models of flanged Alloy and PTFE covered probes have a tank connection design with a protective flange plate of the same material as the probe and with a backing flange in 316L / EN 1.4404. The protective flange plate prevents the backing flange from being exposed to the tank atmosphere. Protective Plate See Dimensional Drawings on page 13. Tank Seal with Plate Design Follows ASME B 16.5, JIS B2220, and EN 1092-1 standards for blind flanges. For Proprietary Fisher and Masoneilan flanges, see Proprietary Flanges on page A-13 Available with Masoneilan and Fisher vented flanges. Vented flanges must be ordered as accessories with a 1-in. NPT threaded process connection (code RA); see Table on page A-20. As an alternative to a vented flange, it is possible to use a flushing connection ring on top of the standard nozzle.

NPT BSP/G Flange Tri-Clamp Upper Reference Point Total Probe Length Select the probe length according to the required measuring range (the probe must be hung and fully extended through the entire distance where level readings are desired). Most of the probes can be cut in field. However, there are some restrictions for the standard coaxial probes:
these can be cut up to 2 ft. (0.6 m). Probes shorter than 4.1 ft. (1.25 m) can be cut to the minimum length of 1.3 ft. (0.4 m). The PTFE covered probes cannot be cut in the field.

(See Table A-7 on page A-11) Nozzle Height Nozzle Diameter Clearance to tank wall Other Mechanical Considerations To get best possible performance, the following must be considered before installing the transmitter:
Inlets should be kept at a distance in order to avoid product filling on the probe Avoid physical contact between probes and agitators, as well as applications with strong fluid movement unless the probe is anchored Probe tie-down is recommended if the probe can move to within 1 ft. (30 cm) of any object during operations In order to stabilize the probe for side forces, it is possible to fix or guide the probe to the tank bottom Flexible single lead probe with chuck. For optimal single lead probe performance in non-metallic vessels, the probe must either be mounted with a 2-in. / DN 50 or larger metallic flange, or a metal sheet with an 8-in. diameter (200 mm) or larger must be used (see the Reference Manual for placement) A-9 Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 Weight Flange: depends on flange size Coaxial probe: 0.67 lb/ft.

It supports a variety of process connections, and optional drain and vent connections. The Rosemount 9901 chamber is designed to the ASME B31.3 standard, and is Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) compliant. Use option code XC to order together with the 3308 transmitter. Side-and-Side dimension Side-and-Bottom dimension The probe length to use for a Rosemount 9901 chamber can be calculated with this formula:
Side-and-Side dimension:
Probe length=Centre-to-Centre dimension+19 in. (48 cm) Side-and-Bottom dimension:
Probe length=Centre-to-Centre dimension+4 in. (10 cm) Use a centering disc the same diameter as the chamber if the probe length >3.3 ft. (1 m). See Probe Type in Chamber Considerations on page A-11 and Centering Discs on page A-11 for which probe and disc to use. r e t n e C o t r e t n e C r e t n e C o t r e t n e C For additional information, see the Rosemount 9901 Chamber for Process Level Instrumentation Product Data Sheet (Document Number 00813-0100-4601) A Rosemount 3308 transmitter is the perfect replacement in an existing displacer chamber. Proprietary flanges are offered, enabling use of existing chambers to make installation easy. Considerations when changing to the Rosemount 3308 transmitter:
The Rosemount 3308 transmitter flange choice and probe length must be correctly matched to the chamber. Both standard ANSI and EN (DIN), as well as proprietary chamber flanges, are available.

The recommended minimum chamber diameter is 4 in. (100 mm) for Single Flexible probe and 3 in. (75 mm) for the Single Rigid probe. The probe should be centered to prevent it touching the sides of the well. The probe length determines if a Single Rigid or Single Flexible probe should be used:
Less than 19.7 ft. (6.0 m):
Rigid Single Probe is recommended. Use a centering disc for probe > 3.3 ft. (1 m). If installation requires less head-space, use a Flexible Single Probe with a weight and centering disc. More than 19.7 ft. (6.0 m):
Use Flexible Single Probe with a weight and centering disc. A short weight is available for the single flexible SST probe. It is used for measuring close to the probe end and shall be used where the measuring range must be maximized. The height is 2 in. (50 mm) and the diameter is 1.5 in. (37.5 mm). The option code is W2. If a heavier weight is needed, option code W3 can be used (height is 5.5 in. (140 mm) and the diameter is 1.5 in. (37.5 mm). To prevent the probe from contacting the chamber or pipe wall, centering discs are available for rigid single, flexible single, and flexible twin lead probes. The disc is attached to the end of the probe. Discs are made of stainless steel, Alloy C-276, Alloy 400, or PTFE. See Table A-9 for Dimension D. Table A-10 shows which centering disc diameter to choose for a particular pipe. D Table A-7. Minimum Clearance Coaxial Enough space to fit the probe(1) Enough space to fit the probe(1) 0 in.

A-20 Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 PRELIMINARY Rosemount 3308 Appendix B Product Certifications SAFETY MESSAGES Safety Messages . page B-1 Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (
refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
). Please Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
Verify that the operating environment of the gauge is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications. Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices. In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter cover when power is applied to the unit. Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
Make sure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable code of practice. Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment. Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are qualified. A safety isolator such as a zener barrier is always needed for intrinsic safety. www.rosemount.com Rosemount 3308 PRELIMINARY Reference Manual 00809-XXXX-4811, Rev AA February 2012 High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock:
Avoid contact with leads and terminals. Make sure the main power to the Radar Transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter. Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.
