Rosemount 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter

Description

The Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter delivers continuous non-contact level and volume measurements for challenging liquid, slurry, and bulk solid applications. Using 2-wire 26 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology, the transmitter maximizes echo signal strength to ensure stable level tracking through condensation, turbulence, and vapors.

Reliable Radar Diagnostics with the Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter

Process vessels containing boiling liquids, heavy condensation, or aggressive chemicals require radar instrumentation that remains dependable under changing atmospheric conditions. The Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter incorporates Smart Echo Supervision™ software along with dedicated Signal Quality Metrics. These onboard algorithms detect process turbulence, distinguish product echoes from tank obstructions, and warn operators about antenna coating before accuracy is affected.

Easy Maintenance and Functional Safety Integration

Industrial plants prioritize instruments that streamline regulatory compliance while minimizing unscheduled field maintenance. The Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter features integrated Smart Proof Test wizards and Smart Meter Verification to automate verification without halting process flow. Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 2 (and SIL 3 capable in redundant architectures), this radar serves safety instrumented loops and overfill protection systems.

Versatile Antenna Configurations for Demanding Media

With a broad selection of cone, parabolic, and process-seal PTFE antennas, the Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter installs across storage tanks, process reactors, and open basins. Its low 12 V lift-off voltage ensures uninterrupted operation across long cable runs, while robust IP66, IP67, and IP68 dual-compartment housings protect internal electronics in corrosive industrial environments.
