Mounting Instructions for Segmented Probe

August 2015

Quick Start Guide

Standard tools, e.g.
screwdriver, wrench, pliers

Anti-seize paste or PTFE tape
(for NPT threaded connection)

Two support tools
(supplied)

Gasket
(for BSP/G threaded, flanged, and Tri Clamp
conne ctions)

Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in serious injury.

Make sure only qualified personnel perform installation or service.
Use the equipment only as specified in t he relevant Quick Start Guide and Reference Manual:

 Rosemount 3300 Series Reference Manual (document number 00809-0100-4811)
 Rosemount 3308 Series Wireless Guided Wave Radar, 3308A Reference Manual (document number

00809-0100-4308)

 Rosemount 5300 Series Reference Manual (document number 00809-0100-4530)
 Rosemount 3300 Series Quick Start Guide (document number 00825-0100-4811)
 Rosemount 3308 Series Wireless Guided Wave Radar, 3308A Quick Start Guides (document numbers

00825-0100-4308 and 00825-0300-4308)

 Rosemount 5300 Series Quick Start Guide (document number 00825-0100-4530)

Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Segmented probe ordered with model code 4S

Before installation, verify the probe length (L) on the label. If the probe length
needs to be adjusted, see “Adjust the probe length” on page 17.

Segmented probe ordered as spare part kit

Before installation, the number of segments that add up to the desired probe
length must be determined. Also, the bottom segment may need to be
shortened. See “Adjust the probe length” on page 17.
