No matter what the process, agility is key to keeping up with increasing demands. As processes are pushed to run at higher efficiencies and safety regulations toughen, it is important to find new ways to optimize your operations. Installing robust, safe, and reliable level measurement that is easy to use helps you make better decisions and exceed performance expectations.
Boasting Bluetooth® enabled functionality with advanced diagnostics and Smart Meter Verification, the Rosemount 3408 Level Transmitter expedites commissioning, delivers actionable insights and provides simplified, trouble-free operations.
Based on a modular design, the Rosemount 3408 provides accurate continuous level measurements, deploys quickly, and reduces maintenance costs. It is SIL2 certified, meets NAMUR recommendations, and can be used in hazardous locations, making it a perfect solution for a broad range of process applications.
The Rosemount 3408 is the new, smarter way to measure level and ensure you are ready for whatever comes next.

The Rosemount 3408 uses 80GHz Fast Sweep Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and smart algorithms to maximize measurement accuracy and reliability, even in small tanks and challenging fast-filling vessels. FMCW technology deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement.
Radar signals are continuously transmitted towards the media surface with the microwave frequency modulated over a span. The level is proportional to the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and received echoes.
Smart features help simplify each step in the product lifecycle.
Commission and configure remotely with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Powerful diagnostics provide early alerts when it is time to schedule maintenance and the on-board memory provides insight into the past 3 days of measurements. Echo curve profiles and alerts facilitate intuitive troubleshooting.
The Smart Echo Level Test enables proof-testing from the control room without changing the actual level and Smart Meter Verification provides a documented health check without interrupting the process.
With only two exchangeable electronic parts, complexity and inventory is reduced. The pre-calibrated cassette is suitable for all hazardous location approvals.
Keep people, plant assets, and the environment safe with safety certified instrumentation and remote proof-testing.
The Rosemount 3408 Level Transmitter is safety-certified to SIL2 according to IEC61508 for use in critical applications. It can be proof-tested remotely from the control room whilst left in-situ, keeping personnel safe. The Smart Echo Level Test lets you test in a real tank environment without changing the actual level, for a more convenient and safe test procedure.
Bluetooth® wireless technology lets operators communicate with the device remotely, keeping people off tank roofs
The on-board diagnostics suite reassures users that processes are under control and that the device is ready to perform in any situation.
