Features and benefits

Tough weatherproof wall mount enclosure for internal and external mounting.
Accepts 4–20 mA or HART inputs.
Compatible with HART 5, 6, and 7 transmitters.
Five voltage-free SPDT relays for alarm and control duties.
Supports two voltage-free contact closure inputs.
4–20 mA 12-bit isolated current output proportional to calculated value.
Bright local display of measured value and input/output status.
Programmed tank shapes, flow algorithms, and control routines simplify configuration. A 20-point strapping table facility is provided for non-standard applications.
Real-time clock for energy saving routines, pump efficiency calculations, and date/time stamping of data logging.
The Rosemount 3490 Series is mounted in a non-hazardous area, and provides a protected (intrinsically safe) direct current supply to a transmitter mounted in a hazardous area.

Ideal for programming and control of Rosemount level and flow transmitters

Ideal for programming and control of Rosemount 3100 Series level and flow transmitters, and Rosemount 3300 Guided Wave Radar level and interface transmitters (non-explosion-proof only).

Other HART transmitters can be connected. The Rosemount 3490 Series recognizes transmitters as “unknown instruments” but allows access to programming of Universal and Common Practice HART commands.

Special features

Configured and interrogated using an integral six-button keypad.
Easy to navigate menu structure.
Wizard assisted programming, with password protection to prevent unauthorized access. Many popular configurations are “Wizard assisted”, enabling fast and accurate programming. Typical applications include level, volume, distance measurement, and open channel flow measurement.
The HART digital or 4–20 mA analog signal from the transmitter may be offset, dampened, scaled, and linearized. A range of pre-programmed linearization algorithms are user-selectable.
The 4–20 mA output signal may be scaled to re-transmit all or just part of the transmitter’s input signal or calculated value.
Five relays are fully field programmable to perform a variety of control, fault indication, and alarm duties.
Two digital inputs can be individually set-up to perform various control actions (e.g. raise an alarm) whenever activated.
