Failure to follow safe installation and service 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.
For installations in hazardous locations, the transmitter must be installed according to the
Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Product Certifications
(D7000002-885).
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certifications.
Before connecting a Field 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.
Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Make sure the main power to the transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source
are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.
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.
Any substitution of non-authorized parts or repair, other than exchanging the complete
transmitter head or antenna assembly, may jeopardize safety and is prohibited.
Unauthorized changes to the product are strictly prohibited as they may unintentionally and
unpredictably alter performance and jeopardize safety. Unauthorized changes that interfere with the
integrity of the welds or flanges, such as making additional perforations, compromise product
integrity and safety. Equipment ratings and certifications are no longer valid on any products that
have been damaged or modified without the prior written permission of Emerson. Any continued use
of product that has been damaged or modified without the written authorization is at the customer’s
sole risk and expense.

2.1 Measurement principle
The Rosemount™ 5408 and 5408:SIS are two-wire transmitters for continuous level measurements over
a broad range of liquids, slurries, and solids. The measurement principle is fast-sweep Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW).
Transmitter Overview
November 2017
The transmitter continuously emits signal sweeps with a constantly varying frequency towards the
product surface. Since the transmitter continuously changes the frequency of the transmitted signal,
there will be a difference in frequency between the transmitted and the reflected signals (see
Figure 2-1).
The frequency of the reflected signal is subtracted from the frequency of the signal transmitted at that
moment, resulting in a low frequency signal which is proportional to the distance to the product surface.
This signal is further processed to obtain fast, reliable, and highly accurate level measurements. See
Figure 2-2 for a schematic overview of the signal processing.

2.2.1 Dielectric constant
A key parameter for measurement performance is reflectivity. A high dielectric constant of the media
provides better reflection and enables a longer measuring range.
2.2.2 Foam and turbulence
Foaming liquids or turbulence may cause weak and varying surface echo amplitudes. The effects of
turbulence are usually minor, but in the most challenging conditions, the transmitter may be mounted in
a still pipe. In addition, measurement performance can be optimized by configuring the appropriate
process conditions settings, see “Process conditions” on page 196.
Measurement in foamy applications depends largely on the foam properties. When the foam is light and
airy, the actual product level is measured. For heavy and dense foam, the transmitter may measure the
level of the foam’s upper surface. The Double Surface Handling function allows the user to select if the
foam layer or product surface should be used as output (see “Double surface handling” on page 201).

2.2.3 Condensation
Generally, the radar signal is unaffected by condensation and low pressure steam. However, heavy
condensation can affect the measurement. In such applications, air purging may be required to prevent
clogging of the antenna.
In high temperature applications, it is recommended to insulate the tank nozzle. Insulation prevents the
nozzle from becoming a cold spot, and thus reduces the amount of water build up and condensation on
the antenna.
If the temperature in the tank is much higher than the ambient temperature (i.e. tank is heated and
located in a cold area), it might be necessary to heat trace the nozzle in addition to the insulation.
2.2.4 Dust
Dust is often present in solids applications, and even if the non-contacting radar is not affected by the
dust in the vapor space, dust can be sticky and create a layer on the antenna. If this layer becomes too
thick, it may affect the measurement. This is best managed by using air purging.
2.2.5 Solid surface
Transmitter Overview
November 2017
Solids have some common characteristics which may cause weak and varying surface reflections. The
surface is rarely flat or horizontal, the angle of the sloping surface differs during filling and emptying, and
the dielectric constant of many solids is fairly low. Tab l e 2- 1 presents common characteristics of some
solids applications.
The parabolic antenna is ideal for applications with weak surface reflections. A larger diameter
concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. The parabolic antenna comes with a
swivel connection that adjusts for angled tank roofs.

2.3 Vessel characteristics
2.3.1 In-tank obstructions
The transmitter should be mounted so that objects such as heating coils, ladders, and agitators are not in
the radar signal path. These objects may cause false echoes resulting in reduced measurement
performance. However, the transmitter has built-in functions designed to reduce the influence from
disturbing objects where such objects cannot be totally avoided.
Vertical and inclined structures cause minimal effect since the radar signal is scattered rather than
directed back to the antenna.
2.3.2 Tank shape
The shape of the tank bottom affects the measurement signal when the product surface is close to the
tank bottom. The transmitter has built-in functions which optimize measurement performance for
various bottom shapes.
2.4 Application examples
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4408, Rev BA
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.
Storage and buffer tanks
The Rosemount 5408 provides accurate and reliable level measurement for both metallic or non-metallic
vessels containing almost any liquid (e.g. oil, gas condensate, water, chemicals).
Reactors
The Rosemount 5408 is ideal for the most challenging applications, including reactors where there can
be agitation, foaming, condensation as well as high temperatures and pressures.

3.3 Review mounting considerations
Before installing the transmitter, consider recommendations for mounting position, sufficient free
space, nozzle requirements, etc.
3.3.1 Mounting position
When finding an appropriate location on the tank for the transmitter, the conditions of the tank must be
carefully considered.
Consider the following guidelines when mounting the transmitter:
For optimal performance, the transmitter should be installed in locations with a clear and
unobstructed view of the product surface.
The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as possible within the signal beam,
see “Beam width and beam angle” on page 15.
Do not install the transmitter in the center of the tank.
Do not mount close to or above the inlet stream.

3.3.2 Free space requirements
If the transmitter is mounted close to a wall or other tank obstructions such as heating coils and ladders,
noise might appear in the measurement signal. Therefore the following minimum clearance, according
to Ta b le 3 - 1 , must be maintained.
For easy access to the transmitter, mount it with sufficient service space (see Ta bl e 3 - 2).

3.3.3 Antenna size
Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger antenna diameter concentrates the radar beam
and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain permits greater margin for weak surface
echoes.
In addition, a larger antenna diameter results in a smaller beam angle and thereby, less interference from
any internal structures in the tank.
3.3.4 Antenna inclination
Ensure the antenna is aligned perpendicular to the product surface (see Figure 3-4). The parabolic
antenna comes with a swivel connection that adjusts for angled tank roofs.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4408, Rev BA
Note that if the surface echo is weak in solids applications, then a small inclination of the parabolic
antenna toward the surface slope may improve the performance.
Figure 3-4. Inclination
3.3.5 Non-metallic tanks
The walls in non-metallic tanks can be invisible to the radar signal, so nearby objects outside the tank
may cause disturbing radar echoes. Wherever possible, the transmitter should be positioned so that

4.1 Safety messages
Electrical Installation
November 2017
Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the
personnel performing the operation. 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.
Failure to follow safe installation and service 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.
For installations in hazardous locations, the transmitter must be installed according to the
Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Product Certifications
document and System Control Drawing
(D7000002-885).
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certifications.
Before connecting a Field 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.
Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Make sure the main power to the transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source
are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.

Symptom
(1)
Possible causes Recommended actions
Reported level is too high or low. Incorrect tank geometry
configuration.
Level is stuck in measuring range. Incorrect alignment of the
transmitter.
Disturbing objects in the tank.
Verify the tank geometry parameters are
configured correctly (especially the Reference
Height).
Run Verify Level to adjust level measurement,
see “Verify Level” on page 72.
Analyze the echo curve and check amplitude
thresholds, see “Set amplitude thresholds” on
page 96.
Restore default settings and reconfigure the
device.
Verify the transmitter head is correctly aligned,
see “Align transmitter head” on page 37.
Use the suppress false echoes function to
manage strong disturbance echoes, see
“Suppress false echoes” on page 97.
Analyze the echo curve and check amplitude
thresholds, see “Set amplitude thresholds” on
page 96.
Remove the disturbing object.
Change alignment of transmitter head in steps of
about 15 degrees, see “Align transmitter head”
on page 37. After each step, check if impact of
disturbing echoes is decreased using the echo
curve.
Put an inclined metal plate on top of the
disturbing object.
Move the transmitter to another position. Refer
to Section 3: Mechanical Installation for
installation considerations.

Cone antenna does not extend
below the nozzle.
Level value drops to a lower value when
product surface is close to antenna.
Product surface is within the
Upper Null Zone and a

interpreted as the product
surface.
Use the suppress false echoes function to
manage strong disturbance echoes, see
“Suppress false echoes” on page 97.
Analyze the echo curve and check amplitude
thresholds, see “Set amplitude thresholds” on
page 96.
For process seal antenna installed in a nozzle
taller than 10-in. (25 cm), adjust the
pre-configured amplitude threshold, see
“Handling disturbances at top of tank” on
page 106.
Increase the Upper Null Zone, see “Handling
disturbances at top of tank” on page 106.
Remove the disturbing object.
Move the transmitter to another position. Refer
to Section 3: Mechanical Installation for
installation considerations.
Clean the antenna.
Use transmitter with air purging connection.
Use the extended cone antenna.
Check the setting of the Upper Null Zone, see
“Upper null zone” on page 199.
Measured value jumps to a lower value. Multiple products in the tank,
e.g. thin oil layer on top of
water that is sometimes
detected, sometimes not.
