Quick Start Guide
Components of the transmitter
The transmitter has a housing containing advanced electronics to generate ultrasonic 
pulses, process the resultant signals, and provide a 4–20mA and HART output. 
There is a factory-fitted cable for the signal output and connecting an external power 
supply. The 3108 has a factory-fitted Remote Temperature Sensor.

Considerations before you install
Install the transmitter where it is protected from ultraviolet radiation to prevent long 
term degradation of the plastics used in its construction e.g. shrouded from direct 
sunlight.
Note
See also 
 for special conditions for safe use.
General
Installation must be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance with 
the applicable code of practice.
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it is the 
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being 
adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive Substances are acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or 
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
Suitable Precautions are regular checks as part of routine inspections, or 
establishing, from the material's datasheet, that it is resistant to specific 
chemicals.
The equipment should only be cleaned with a damp cloth; do not use solvents.
