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
 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 Rosemount 5300 Series Reference Manual (document number 00809-0100-4530) for
more mechanical installation information.

Engineered solutions
Rxxxx
When standard model codes are not sufficient to fulfill requirements, please consult the factory
to explore possible Engineered Solutions. This is typically, but not exclusively, related to the
choice of wetted materials or the design of a process connection. These Engineered Solutions
are part of the expanded offerings and may be subject to additional delivery lead time. For
ordering, factory will supply a special R-labeled numeric option code that should be added at
the end of the standard model string. See example model string below.
Example Model String: 5301-H-A-1-S-1-V-1A-M-002-05-AA-I1-M1C1-R1234
Flexible single lead probe with chuck
installed in liquids and in solids.
For solids, it is recommended that the
probe should be slack to prevent high
tensile loads.
