1 About this guide

This Quick Start Guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount
1408H Level Transmitter. Refer to the 1408H Reference Manual for
more instructions.

1.1 Safety messages

WARNING

Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could
result in death or serious injury.

Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in
accordance with applicable code of practice.

Use the equipment only as specified in this Quick Start Guide and the
Reference Manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection
provided by the equipment.

Repair, e.g. substitution of components, etc. may jeopardize safety
and is under no circumstances allowed.

WARNING

Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.

Handle the transmitter carefully.

Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.

Do not attempt to loosen or remove process connectors while the
transmitter is in service.

WARNING

Physical access

Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to
and/or misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be
intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.

Physical security is an important part of any security program and
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by
unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.

CAUTION

Hot surfaces

The transmitter and process seal may be hot at high process
temperatures. Allow to cool before servicing.

Note

Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the PTFE sealing.

TLPR (Tank Level Probing Radar)

TLPR (Tank Level Probing Radar) equipment are devices for
measurement of level in a closed space only (i.e metallic or reinforced
concrete or fiberglass tanks, or similar enclosure structures made of

22

comparable attenuating material). Rosemount 1408H is TLPR device.
Hardware Version Identification Number (HVIN) is 1408T.

10.6

FCC

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC ID

10.7

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSS
standard. Operation is subject to the following conditions:

23

K8C1408T

IC

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2.

This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

3. The installation of the TLPR device shall be done by trained
installers in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

4. The use of this device is on a “no-interference, no-protection”
basis. That is, the user shall accept operations of high-powered
radar in the same frequency band which may interfere with or
damage this device. However, devices found to interfere with
primary licensing operations will be required to be removed at
the user’s expense.

5.

This device shall be installed and operated in a completely
enclosed container to prevent RF emissions, which can
otherwise interfere with aeronautical navigation.

6. The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10
km from the Dominion Astrophysical Radio Observatory
(DRAO) near Penticton, British Columbia. The coordinates of
the DRAO are latitude 49°19′15″N and longitude 119°37′12″
W. For devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g., those
in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia,) the installer/user
must coordinate with, and obtain the written concurrence of,
the Director of the DRAO before the equipment can be
installed or operated. The Director of the DRAO may be
contacted at 250-497-2300 (tel.) or 250-497-2355 (fax).
(Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory Standards, Industry
Canada, may be contacted.)

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux conditions suivantes:

1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage.

2. l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.

24

3. L’installation d’un dispositif TLPR doit être effectuée par des
installateurs qualifiés, en pleine conformité avec les
instructions du fabricant.

4. Ce dispositif ne peut être exploité qu'en régime de non­brouillage et de non-protection, c'est-à-dire que l'utilisateur
doit accepter que des radars de haute puissance de la même
bande de fréquences puissent brouiller ce dispositif ou même
l'endommager. D'autre part, les capteurs de niveau qui
perturbent une exploitation autorisée par licence de
fonctionnement principal doivent être enlevés aux frais de leur
utilisateur.

5.

Un dispositif visé comme TLPR doit être installé et exploité
dans un réservoir entièrement fermé afin de prévenir les
rayonnements RF qui pourraient autrement perturber la
navigation aéronautique.

6. La personne qui installe/utilise ce capteur de niveau doit
s'assurer qu'il se trouve à au moins 10 km de l'Observatoire
fédéral de radioastrophysique (OFR) de Penticton en
Colombie-Britannique. Les coordonnées de l'OFR sont: latitude
N 49° 19′ 15″, longitude O 119° 37′ 12″. La personne qui
installe/utilise un dispositif ne pouvant respecter cette
distance de 10 km (p. ex. dans la vallée de l'Okanagan
[Colombie-Britannique]) doit se concerter avec le directeur de
l'OFR afin d’obtenir de sa part une autorisation écrite avant
que l'équipement ne puisse être installé ou mis en marche. Le
directeur de l'OFR peut être contacté au 250-497-2300 (tél.)
ou au 250-497-2355 (fax). (Le Directeur des Normes
réglementaires d'Industrie Canada peut également être
contacté).
