Installation considerations
For the Rosemount GWR transmitters:
Do not mount close to inlet pipes and ensure that the probe does not come in contact
with the nozzle (X)
If there is a chance that the probe may come in contact with the tank wall, nozzle, or
other tank obstructions, the coaxial probe is the only recommended choice. However, it
should only be used with clean liquids. Recommended clearance is given in Table 2-8
below
If the probe sways due to turbulent conditions, the probe should be anchored to the
tank bottom (Y). Refer to the Rosemount 3300 or 5300 Series Reference Manual
(Document No. 00809-0100-4811 or 00809-0100-4530) for anchoring options. Also
note that violent fluid movements that cause high sideway forces may break rigid
probes.
