PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA 6.4 August 2017 Service and troubleshooting tools This section briefly describes tools and functions in the AMS Wireless Configurator and Field Communicator which may be useful for service and troubleshooting of Rosemount™ 3308 Series Transmitter. 6.4.1 Reading the echo curve The AMS Wireless Configurator and Field Communicator have powerful tools for advanced troubleshooting.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 6.4.2 Adjusting thresholds Measurement with the Rosemount 3308 is based on the fact that the radar signal pulses are reflected by the product surface and the interface between two liquids. Signal amplitude thresholds are used to separate the measurement signal from disturbing echoes and noise.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 Guidelines for setting the surface threshold Before changing the Surface Threshold, make sure the product level is at least 20 in. (0.5 m) from the lower side of the device flange. Set the Surface Threshold to about 1/3 of the weakest surface echo amplitude in the measuring range.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 Guidelines for setting the interface threshold The Interface Threshold should be approximately 50% of the interface signal amplitude. If possible, Interface Threshold should be higher than Surface Threshold. Procedure for adjusting thresholds To adjust the amplitude thresholds: 1. Read the Echo Curve. a. Start the Echo Curve reading, refer to “Reading the echo curve” on page 93. b.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 If there are disturbing objects in the tank, the Surface Threshold must be carefully set to avoid locking on the wrong amplitude peak. In Figure 6-5, the Surface Threshold is too low, and as a result the transmitter has locked on a peak above the actual product surface.

PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 6.5.2 Handling disturbances at the top of the tank Adjusting the near zone threshold The Near Zone Threshold is used to filter out disturbing echoes and noises at the top of the tank. By default, this threshold is automatically calculated by the device, and is sufficient in most conditions. However, in the case of unfavorable conditions, you might need to manually set the Near Zone Threshold.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 2. Set the Near Zone Threshold. a. Select Service Tools > Echo Tuning > Near Zone > Near Zone Threshold. b. Under Threshold Control, select User Defined. c. If using Field Communicator, select Send.

PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 Note Desired measuring range must be below the Upper Null Zone. Note Before changing the Upper Null Zone, check entered limit and deadband values for the High Level Alerts. High Level Alerts should not be placed in the Upper Null Zone. To set the Upper Null Zone: 1. Identify desired Upper Null Zone using the Echo Curve plot. a. Start the Echo Curve reading, refer to “Reading the echo curve” on page 93. b.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA 6.5.3 August 2017 Interface measurements with fully submerged probes The Measurement Mode Interface Level with Submerged Probe is used to handle interface measurements when the product level is not visible, for example in a full chamber pipe as illustrated in Figure 6-17. In this case the probe is fully submerged into the upper product, and only the interface level is detected by the transmitter.
PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Service and Troubleshooting 00809-0100-4308, Rev CA August 2017 6.5.4 Noise or weak surface echoes In difficult applications where the surface echo peak is low compared to the noise, it is recommended to set the Performance Mode to High Performance. A low surface peak compared to the noise might be caused by a turbulent surface, foam, low dielectric constant, plastic tanks, and so on.
