Emerson has introduced the Rosemount 3408 Level Transmitter, a non-contacting radar device designed to optimize ease-of-use at every touchpoint, leading to increased site and worker safety and enhanced plant performance, per its maker, which adds that the Rosemount 3408 is a versatile level measurement solution, suitable for use in a wide range of industries and applications, such as chemical storage, mixing tanks and open air applications.
The device provides a range of functions that reduce complexity throughout its lifecycle, including an intuitive interface, Bluetooth wireless technology remote capabilities, predictive alerts, in-situ verification, data historian and an upgradeable design.
The user interface provides clear pictorial instructions, enabling operators to be guided through installation, commissioning, proof-testing, operation and maintenance. This increased ease-of-use gives process and manufacturing organizations the confidence to replace time-consuming manual procedures, thereby helping to increase safety and maximize productivity, notes Emerson.
“The new generation of engineers expect modern automation technology to be very easy to implement, operate and maintain,” said Thense Korsbo, director of product management for Emerson’s radar level measurement business. “The onus is therefore on us to provide solutions that simplify operator tasks as much as possible, especially in safety-critical applications such as overfill prevention, and this was Emerson’s focus when designing the Rosemount 3408. This optimized ease-of-use will help organizations improve plant efficiency, reach their production targets and achieve the highest levels of safety.”
