Quick Start Guide
The Rosemount 3101, 3102, and 3105
The Rosemount 3101, 3102, and 3105 are 4–20 mA loop-powered level
transmitters designed for continuous liquid level measurements in tanks or
open flow channels.
They can be connected directly to a plant control system, or used with a
Rosemount
The Rosemount 3105 may be mounted in a hazardous area if powered from a
protected power supply.
1.0Theory of operation
The transmitter is designed to be mounted above a liquid and uses ultrasonic
pulses to continuously measure the distance to the liquid surface. The
microprocessor-controlled electronics calculates distance to the liquid level
from the time delay between the transmitting and receiving of signals.
When programmed with the bottom reference of the application – usually the
bottom of a tank (Figure 1) – the transmitter calculates the liquid depth (level)
and outputs the level as a 4–20 mA signal (and a digital HART
3102 and 3105).
The 3101 measures level only. The 3102 and the 3105 can calculate
distance-to-surface, contents (volume), or open channel flow, and then output
the result as a 4–20 mA signal and a digital HART signal.
An LCD screen inside the enclosure displays the selected measurement.
Programming is achieved using integral buttons inside the enclosure (all
models) or by remote communication using HART (on the 3102 and 3105 only).

Considerations before installation
The Rosemount 3100 Series may be used for level and volume measurement in
open or closed tanks, or open channel flow measurement.
The glass-filled nylon housing version of the transmitter must be installed in a
location where it is protected from ultraviolet radiation to prevent long term
degradation of the plastics used e.g. shrouded from direct sunlight.
Note
See also “Product certifications” on page 24 for special conditions for safe use.
2.0Safety considerations
1. Installation must be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable code of practice.
2. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it
is the responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it
from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is
not compromised.
4
Aggressive substances are acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
September 2018
OKOKOK
Suitable precautions are regular checks as part of routine inspections, or
establishing, from the material's datasheet, that it is resistant to specific
chemicals.
3. The equipment must only be cleaned with a damp cloth; do not use solvents.
4. The equipment is not intended to be repaired by the user and is to be
replaced by an equivalent certified unit. Repairs should only be carried out by
the manufacturer or approved repairer.
5. The transmitter is Double Insulated, and therefore Protective Earthing is not
required. The cable shield/screen should be connected to a suitable ground
(earth) at one end only (see “Connecting the cable(s) to the transmitter” on
page 7).
6. Note that if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection afforded by the equipment may be impaired.
7. To ensure electro-magnetic compatibility in any European member state, it
should not be installed in a residential area.
Note
It is not advisable to mount the transmitter near to a source of electrical noise such as a
variable-speed drive or other high-powered electrical device.
3.0Environmental considerations
1. The Rosemount 3105 transmitter is Intrinsically Safe (IS) approved for
hazardous area installations.
2. The 3101, 3102, and 3105 are designed for open or closed tank installation.
They are weatherproof and protected against the ingress of dust.
3. Avoid installing the transmitters near heat sources.
Quick Start Guide
Figure 2. Environmental Considerations

Quick Start Guide
4.0Mounting considerations
1. Mount the transmitter above the liquid using the 2-in. thread provided, but
no closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the surface. The transmitter does not detect
any liquid surface closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the transmitter face.
2. The transmitter should be mounted vertically to ensure a good echo from
the liquid surface. The beam half angle is 6 degrees (see Figure 7 on
page 11).
3. Obstructions in the tank, or well, may generate echoes which can be
confused with the real liquid surface echo. Obstructions within the beam
angle generate strong false echoes. Wherever possible, the transmitter
should be positioned to avoid false echoes.
4. To avoid detecting unwanted objects in the tank or well, it is advisable to
maintain a distance sideways of at least 1.3 in. from the center line of the
transmitter for every foot (11 cm per meter) range to the obstruction
(Figure 7 on page 11).
5. No false echoes are generated if the transmitter is located near the side of
the tank or well on condition that the wall is smooth and free of protrusions.
However, there will still be a reduction in the echo size. It is recommended
that the transmitter be mounted no closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the wall to
avoid a large reduction in the echo size.
6. If the transmitter is mounted in an enclosed tank with a domed top, avoid
mounting the transmitter in the center of the tank roof because this could
act as a parabolic reflector and create unwanted echoes.
7. Avoid applications where heavy condensation could form on the transmitter
face.
8. If the transmitter is mounted in a stand-off or nozzle, the transmitter face
should protrude at least 0.2 in. (5 mm) into the tank.
9. If the transmitter is used in environments where direct sunlight can cause
high temperatures on exposed surfaces, a sun-shade is recommended.

Electrical installation
5.0Connecting the cable(s) to the transmitter
The Rosemount 3100 Series is a two-wire loop-powered transmitter accepting
power supplies as follows:
The 3101: 12 to 30 Vdc
The 3102: 12 to 40 Vdc
The 3105: 12 to 40 Vdc (non-hazardous area), 12 to 30 Vdc (hazardous area)
Note
To comply with the CSA approval requirements, the Rosemount 3101 and
3102 must be powered from a Rosemount 3490 Series Control Unit or a class
2 separate extra-low voltage (SELV) source.
Other devices may reset if connecting the transmitter to a multi-drop system
while the loop is powered. De-energize the loop to avoid devices being reset.
Each transmitter is supplied with two cable entries. A suitable conduit system or
cable gland must be used to maintain the weather-proof rating and hazardous
area protection. Any unused entry must be sealed with a suitably rated blanking
plug.
A two-core, shielded/screened cable is required for external power supply and
output signal connections. The cable is not supplied.
5.1Hazardous area installation (Rosemount 3105 only)
When the Rosemount 3105 is used with a Rosemount 3490 Series Control Unit,
no additional safety barriers are required. If powering the Rosemount 3105 from
any other source, ensure a suitable Intrinsically Safe (IS) barrier is fitted in the
non-hazardous (safe) area.
The barrier must be chosen such that its output parameters Uo, Io and Po are
less than Ui, Ii and Pi of the transmitter.
IS parameters: Ui = 30 V, li = 120 mA, Pi = 0.82 W, Li = 108 mH, Ci = 0 nF
The sum of the capacitance and the inductance of the transmitter and the
connecting cable must not exceed the maximum specified for the barrier
chosen.
5.2Connect the cable(s) to the transmitter
1. Make sure that the power supply is disconnected.
2. Undo the three cover screws and then lift the transmitter housing cover.
The cover on the metal housing can rest on the hinge. Place an object under
the cover to avoid the transmitter toppling over.
3. Pass the cable through the cable gland/conduit.

6.3Open channel flow installations
Mount an ultrasonic transmitter over an area of clear liquid. Avoid mounting the
transmitter directly over any inlet stream. Never suspend the transmitter by the
cable.
Positioning of the transmitter is critical and should be the correct distance
upstream from the flow structure as stated in the relevant standard for your
country.
For example, in the ISO standards, the distance should be four to five times the
maximum height of the water (Hmax) for a thin plate weir, or three to four times
Hmax for a flume. For optimum accuracy, the transmitter’s front face should be
positioned at a height equal to the sum of the maximum flow depth plus the
transmitter dead band of 12.2 in. (300 mm) plus an extra 2 in. (50 mm).

6.4Transmitter base units
The Base Units for the Rosemount 3101 are always metric, but changing the
Display Units re-scales the level measurement from meters-to-feet or
meters-to-inches (see page 19).
When the Rosemount 3102 and 3105 are shipped from the factory, the default
settings for Base Units are “metric” or “imperial ft” depending on the model
order code.
Note (Rosemount 3102/3105 only)
Keep a record of your programmed settings. If the base units are changed on the
Rosemount 3102 or 3105, the transmitter automatically re-starts as if it were a new
instrument on first power-up, but will default to the chosen base units and load factory
default values.
Method: Integral buttons

6.5Transmitter bottom reference
Note
This parameter is important for calibrating and configuring the transmitter.
On the Rosemount 3101, the transmitter’s Bottom Reference setting is the
distance measured vertically along the ultrasonic beam path from the
Transmitter Face to the Zero Level of a tank or an open channel (see Figure 12 on
page 22).
On the Rosemount 3102 and 3105, it is the distance measured vertically along
the ultrasonic beam path from the User Preferred Sensor Reference Point
(UPSRP) to the Zero Level of a tank or an open channel (see Figure 13 on
page 23).
The zero level establishes where the transmitter starts to measure the process
value. It is not necessary to have the 4 mA output start at the zero level. The
4 mA starting point can be any liquid height above or below this zero level.

6.7Transmitter display units / primary variable units (P012)
On the Rosemount 3101, display units are indicated by the position of the
decimal point in the displayed PV value i.e. 8.000 (m), 26.24 (ft.), or 314.9 (in.).
The 3101 measures and calculates in meters. The measured value is converted
into the selected display units using a pre-programmed conversion factor.
On the Rosemount 3102 and 3105, selecting new display units does not
automatically re-scale the PV value. Either use the parameter Transmitter Scale
Factor (page 20) to manually re-scale the PV value into appropriate units, or use
base units which automatically changes the display units to meters, feet, or
inches.
Method: Integral buttons
To change Display Units on the Rosemount 3101:
1. Starting from the PV display, hold down the blue button→ and do not
release it. After 10 seconds, the displayed units change according to the
