Figure 2-12. Rosemount 5300 Series with remote housing
When the remote housing is used together with the Rosemount 5300 Series, there may be a
limit on measuring range and a decrease in accuracy. This is because the remote housing
introduces a double bounce in the tank signal at 1.5 times the remote housing cable length.
Because the double bounce occurs at approximately 1.5 times the remote housing cable length,
a longer remote housing cable can increase the maximum measuring range for distances up to
10 ft (3 m). Ta bl e 2 -7 shows the maximum recommended measuring range with remote
housing for different remote housing lengths, installation types, dielectric constants, and probe
types.
