6.2.5 Interface measurements with fully immersed probes
The Rosemount 3300 Series has a measurement option which makes it possible to handle
interface measurements when the product level is not visible, for example in a full bridle pipe as
illustrated in Figure 6-6. In this case, the probe is fully immersed into the upper product, and
only the interface level is detected by the transmitter. Even if the upper product level drops, it is
ignored by the transmitter which continues to measure only the interface level, but the
measurement accuracy is reduced since the transmitter does not take into account the
influence of the air gap above the product surface.
The Measurement Mode parameter is available via the HART command [1, 3, 3, 4]. Select the
Interface when Immersed Probe option.
Measurement mode Interface when Immersed Probe can also be activated in the RCT software:
1. Open the Setup window.
2. Select the Environment tab.
3. Select Measurement Mode Interface when Immersed Probe.
4. Select the Send Page button.
Note
Do not use Measurement Mode Interface when Immersed Probe in “standard” applications when
both interface level and product level are measured.
If the product level drops, the air filled region in the upper part of the pipe will slightly reduce
the measurement accuracy of the interface level. To achieve high accuracy in this measurement
mode the probe must be fully immersed.

Adjust Threshold T2 if the level pulse is not detected.
