Rosemount 5300 Series

The transmitter can be mounted in nozzles by using an appropriate flange.
The nozzle sizes given in Table 3-1 show the recommended dimensions. For
small nozzles, it may be necessary to increase the Upper Null Zone (UNZ) to
reduce the measuring range in the upper part of the tank. Amplitude
Threshold adjustments may also be needed in this case. A Trim Near Zone is
recommended in most nozzle installations, for example, when there are
disturbing obstacles in the near zone. See Appendix C: Handling of
Disturbances from Nozzle on page C-4.
NOTE!
The probe should not contact the nozzle, with the exception of the Coaxial
Probe. If the nozzle diameter is less than recommended, the measuring range
may be reduced.
