Quick Start Guide
1.0 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 Reference Manual for more
instructions. The manual and this guide are also available electronically on
Emerson.com/Rosemount.
Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable code of
practice.
Use the equipment only as specified in this guide and the Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS Reference Manual.
For installations in hazardous locations, the transmitter must be installed according to the Rosemount 5408
and 5408:SIS Product Certifications document and System Control Drawing (D7000002-885).
Repair, e.g. substitution of components etc. may jeopardize safety and is under no circumstances allowed.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous
locations certifications.
Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the
loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Make sure the main power to the transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are
disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged, gas might escape from
the tank.
Hot surfaces
The flange and process seal may be hot at high process temperatures.
Allow to cool before servicing.

Step 2: Tighten the bolts and nuts
Note
Re-tighten after 24 hours and again after the first temperature cycle.
Check at regular intervals and re-tighten if necessary.
Step 3: Align the transmitter head (see page 8)
Table 1. Torque Value, lb-ft (N-m)(1)(2)
1. 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.
2. Low strength bolt and non-metallic mating flange may require lower tightening torque.

5.0 Adjust display orientation (optional)
To improve field access to wiring or to better view the optional LCD display:
1. Loosen the set screw until the transmitter housing can rotate smoothly.
2. First, rotate the housing clockwise to the desired location. If the desired
location cannot be achieved due to thread limit, rotate the housing
counterclockwise to the desired location (up to 360° from thread limit).
3. Re-tighten the set screw.
