Rosemount 5300 Series

Total Probe Length
This is defined from the upper reference point to the end of the probe (weight included, if
applicable).
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 and
HP/C 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 HTHP coaxial probe and the PTFE
covered probes cannot be cut in the field.
