Rosemount 5408 Radar Level Transmitter
Rosemount™ 5408 Level Transmitter - Non-Contacting Radar
The Rosemount™ 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter uses enhanced technology and Human Centered Design to deliver accurate, reliable measurements on both liquid and solid materials. Using two-wire FMCW and Smart Echo Supervision technologies, the Rosemount 5408 deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement. Delivering ease-of-use at every touch point, the Rosemount 5408 uses an intuitive software interface to guide the operator through installation, commissioning, proof-testing and maintenance. Powerful onboard diagnostics suite proactively monitors transmitter health and alerts if there is an issue. Safety certified to IEC 61508 for SIL 2 applications, the Rosemount 5408:SIS reduces cost of risk, increases efficiency and protects people and the environment.
Features
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Low 12V dc lift-off voltage
- Immune to intermittent power loss
- Unique PTFE seal design eliminates the need for o-rings
- Model tailored to SIS requirements, certified to IEC 61508 SIL 2
- Solid measurement with unique solids algorithm
- Signal Quality Metrics: Proactively alerts the operator ahead of potential issues such as antenna coating / build-up, enabled preventative maintenance to be scheduled
- Smart Meter Verification: Built-in automatic diagnostic tool ensures transmitter health and integrity without interrupting the process. Provides a simple pass/fail report helping identify and resolve potential issues. May be run on a user-configurable schedule or on demand.
- Smart Proof Test Package: Quick and easy periodic proof-testing with built-in wizards, offering step-by-step guidance, dynamic visualizations, and ability to save or print detailed reports
- Process seal antenna for applications with heavy condensation and aggressive medias. Also available with Tri Clamp connection.
- 3-A certified for hygienic applications
With the Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter, simplification is key: One device is suitable for liquids and solids applications. From intuitive setup wizards and actionable alerts via powerful onboard diagnostics, to the unique PTFE seal without wetted o-rings, Rosemount 5408 is engineered for ease-of-use.
The Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter offers unrivalled reliability and seamless operation in the most challenging level measurement applications.
Application examples
The Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS are ideal for level measurements over a broad range of liquid and solids applications. The transmitters are virtually unaffected by changing density, temperature, pressure, media dielectric, pH, and viscosity. Non-contacting radar level is ideal for harsh conditions such as corrosive and sticky media, or when internal tank obstructions are a limiting factor.
