Configuration Parameters

D.3

Configuration parameters

This section presents a brief introduction to all configuration parameters.

The Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter can be configured for level, volume, interface level,
interface distance measurements, and interface thickness.

The Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter can be pre-configured according to the ordering
specifications in the Configuration Data Sheet.

D.3.1

Guided Setup

Basic Setup

The basic transmitter configuration includes setting the tank geometry parameters. For
interface measurements the dielectric constant of the top liquid must also be given. For some
applications with heavy vapor, the Vapor Dielectric Constant must be given as well.

Figure D-1. Tank Geometry

For the different tank connections the Upper Reference Point is located at the underside of the
threaded adapter or at the underside of the welded flange, as illustrated in
