Rosemount™ 5408 and 5408:SIS Level Transmitters
Process Seal Antenna
About this guide
This Quick Start Guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Level Transmitters. Refer to the Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS with HART® Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Level Transmitters (emerson.com) and Rosemount 5408 with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus Rosemount 5408 Level Transmitter (emerson.com) for more instructions. The manuals and this guide are also available electronically on Emerson.com/Rosemount.
1.1 Safety messages
WARNING
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result
in death or serious injury.
Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance
with the applicable code of practice.
Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
For installations in hazardous locations, the transmitter must be installed
according to the Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS
Level Transmitters (emerson.com)
document and System Control Drawing (D7000002-885).
Repair, e.g. substitution of components, etc. may jeopardize the safety and is
under no circumstances allowed.
**WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous location certifications.
Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure
the instruments are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-
incendive field wiring practices.
In Explosion-proof/Flameproof and Non-Incendive/Type n installations, do not
remove the transmitter covers when power is applied to the unit.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet Explosion-proof/
Flameproof requirements.
****WARNING
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
In Explosion-proof/Flameproof and Non-Incendive/Type n installations, avoid
contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on
leads can cause electrical shock.
Ensure the mains power to the transmitter is off and the lines to any other
external power sources are disconnected or not powered while wiring the
transmitter.
WARNING
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Ensure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the process seal is
damaged, gas might escape from the tank.
WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or
misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be intentional or
unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and is
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by
unauthorized personnel to protect end sers’ assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.
****CAUTION
Hot surfaces
The flange and process seal may be hot at high process temperatures. Allow
cooling before servicing. **
Confirm approval type
For hazardous locations transmitters are labeled with multiple approval types:
Procedure
Permanently mark the checkbox of the selected approval type(s).
Figure 2-1: Label with Multiple Approval Types
Mount the flanged version
Procedure
-
Lower the transmitter into the nozzle.
Note
Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the PTFE sealing.
Note
Do not remove the PTFE sealing. -
Tighten the bolts and nuts (see Table 3-1).
Note
• Re-tighten after 24 hours and again after the first temperature cycle.
• Check at regular intervals and re-tighten if necessary. Post requisites
Align the transmitter head.
3.1 Torque specifications
The conditions used for the calculation are Standard mating metal flange, A193
B8M Cl.2 / A4-70 bolt material, and a friction coefficient of μ=0.16.
Low strength bolt and non-metallic mating flange may require lower tightening
torque.

Mount the Tri Clamp version
Procedure
-
Lower the transmitter into the nozzle. Note
Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the PTFE sealing. -
Tighten the clamp to the recommended torque (see the manufacturer’s instruction manual).
Post requisites
Align the transmitter head.
Mount the bracket
Procedure
1. Mount the bracket to the pipe/wall.
On pipe: A. Horizontal pipe
B. Vertical pipe
On wall:
2. Mount the transmitter to the bracket.
Align transmitter head
Procedure
1. Loosen the nut slightly and turn the transmitter.
2. Verify the transmitter head is properly aligned.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Open tank | Align the marking on the sensor module toward the tank wall (see |
Figure 6-1).
Still pipe| Align the external ground screw toward the holes of the still pipe
(see Figure 6-2).
Chamber| Align the external ground screw toward the process connections (see
Figure 6-3).
Figure 6-1: Open Tank Figure 6-2: Still a pipe Figure 6-3: Chamber
3. Tighten the nut.
Adjust display orientation (optional)
To improve field access to wiring or to better view the optional LCD display:
Prerequisites
Note
In high vibration applications, the transmitter housing must be fully engaged
in the sensor module to meet the vibration test specifications.
This is achieved by rotating the transmitter housing clockwise to the thread
limit.
Procedure
- Loosen the set screw until the transmitter housing can rotate smoothly.
- First, rotate the housing clockwise to the desired location. If the desired location cannot be achieved due to the thread limit, rotate the housing counterclockwise to the desired location (up to 360° from the thread limit).
- Re-tighten the set screw.

Prepare the electrical connections
8.1 Cable selection
Table 8-1: Recommended Cable Size
Protocol | Wire diameter |
---|---|
4–20 mA/HART® | 24-14 AWG |
FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus | 18 AWG, Fieldbus type A cable |
Twisted pairs and shielded wiring are recommended for environments with high
EMI (electromagnetic interference).
Use wire rated at least 5 °C above maximum ambient temperature.
Two wires can be safely connected to each terminal screw.
8.2 Cable gland/conduit
For explosion-proof/flameproof installations, only use cable glands or conduit
entry devices certified explosion-proof or flameproof.
8.3 Power consumption
Max. 1 W, current max. 23 mA
8.4 Grounding
Make sure grounding is done according to national and local electrical codes.
Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Transmitter housing
The most effective grounding method is a direct connection to earth ground
with minimal impedance. There are two grounding screw connections provided
(see Figure 8-1).
Figure 8-1: Ground Screws A. Internal ground screw
B. External ground screw
Cable shield grounding
Make sure the instrument cable shield is:
- Trimmed close and insulated from touching the transmitter housing.
- Continuously connected throughout the segment.
- Connected to good earth ground at the power supply end.
Figure 8-2: Cable Shield
A. Insulate shield and drain wire
B. Minimize distance
C. Trim shield and insulate exposed drain wire
D. Connect drain wire to the power supply ground
Note
Do not ground the shield and its drain wire at the transmitter. If the cable
shield touches the transmitter housing, it can create ground loops and
interfere with communications.
8.5 Power supply
4-20 mA/HART® Fieldbus
The transmitter operates on 12-42.4 Vdc (12-30 Vdc in Intrinsically Safe
installations) at the transmitter terminals.
FISCO/FOUNDATION™
The transmitter operates on 9-32 Vdc (9-30 Vdc in Intrinsically Safe
installations and 9-17.5 Vdc for FISCO) at the transmitter terminals.
8.6 Signal termination
A terminator should be installed at the beginning and end of every Fieldbus
segment.
For a transmitter with a built-in terminator, connect a jumper wire between
the “TERMINATE ON” terminals to activate the terminator. Refer to Cable
selection for recommended wire size.
8.7 Load limitations
For HART® communication, a minimum loop resistance of 250 Ω is required.
Maximum loop resistance is determined by the voltage level of the external
power supply.

Maximum Loop Resistance = 43.5 × (External Power Supply Voltage − 12)

Ensure proper grounding.
-
Tighten the cable gland.
Apply PTFE tape or another sealant to the threads. Note
Make sure to arrange the wiring with a drip loop. -
Seal any unused ports with the enclosed metal plug.
Apply PTFE tape or another sealant to the threads. -
Attach and tighten the cover.
a) Verify the cover jam screw is completely threaded into the housing. b) Attach and tighten the cover. Note
Make sure the cover is fully engaged. There should be no gap between the cover and the housing. c) Turn the jam screw counterclockwise until it contacts the cover.
Note
Required for explosion-proof/flameproof installations only. d) Turn the jam screw an additional ½ turn counterclockwise to secure the cover. -
Connect the power supply.
Note
It may take up to 15 seconds before the LCD display lights up.
