Required equipment
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of device in an explosive environment must be in accordance with appropriate
local, national and international standards, codes, and practices.
Ensure device is installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field practices.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Ground device on non-metallic tanks (e.g. fiberglass tanks) to prevent electrostatic charge
build-up.
Single lead probes are sensitive for strong electromagnetic fields and therefore not suitable for
non-metallic tanks.
Care must be taken during transportation of power module to prevent electrostatic charge
build-up.
Device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 8 in. (20 cm)
from all persons.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Handle the transmitter carefully.
If the process seal is damaged, gas could escape from the tank when removing the transmitter
head from the probe.
Failure to follow safe installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Only qualified personnel should install the equipment.
Use the equipment only as specified in this guide and the Reference Manual. Refer to
Rosemount 3308 Series Wireless Guided Wave Radar, 3308A Reference Manual (document
