Reference Manual Section 3: Installation 00809-0100-4308, Rev BA 3.3 December 2014 Review mounting considerations Before installing the Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter, consider recommendations for sufficient free space, mounting position and special needs for non-metallic tanks. 3.3.1 Recommended mounting position When finding an appropriate mounting position for the transmitter, the conditions of the tank must be carefully considered.
PAGE 30
Section 3: Installation Reference Manual December 2014 00809-0100-4308, Rev BA Make sure the nozzle does not extend into the tank.  Note Violent fluid movements causing high sideway forces may break rigid probes. If the probe is mounted close to a wall, nozzle or other tank obstruction, noise might appear in the level signal. Therefore the following minimum clearance, according to Table 3-1, must be maintained. Figure 3-2. Free Space Requirement Clearance to tank wall Table 3-1.

Mounting in Nozzles Maximum nozzle height Minimum nozzle diameter The transmitter can be mounted in nozzles by using an appropriate flange. It is recommended that the nozzle size is within the dimensions given in Table 3-2. Note The probe must not be in contact with the nozzle (except for the coaxial probe). Table 3-2.

Section 3: Installation Reference Manual December 2014 00809-0100-4308, Rev BA 3.4 Review mounting preparations 3.4.1 Measure tank height The Tank Height is defined as the measured distance from the Upper Reference Point to the Zero Reference Point. Figure 3-4.
PAGE 33
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation 00809-0100-4308, Rev BA 3.4.2 December 2014 Shorten the probe In order to leave some clearance distance between the probe end and the tank bottom, the probe might have to be shortened. The goal is to have the probe hang straight so that it does not touch the wall. 2 in. (5 cm) is a suggested value. The probe can be shortened in field. Use the following form to calculate the probe length: Probe Length = Tank height - 2 in.
