Overview of the Rosemount 3107 and 3108
The Rosemount 3107 and 3108 are sealed 4–20 mA loop-powered liquid level 
transmitters, specifically designed for use in waste water and effluent treatment plant 
on aqueous applications.
These rugged UPVC transmitters are certified Intrinsically Safe for use in Zone 0 areas, 
and factory fitted with up to 165 ft. (50 m) of two-core cable for simple low cost 
installation in sumps, wet-wells and over open channel flow structures.
The transmitter may be mounted in a hazardous area if powered from a protected 
power supply. They can be connected directly to a plant control system, or used with a 
Rosemount 3490 Series Control Unit for programmable control functionality.
Theory of operation
Each transmitter is designed to be mounted above a liquid, and uses ultrasonic pulses 
to continuously measure the distance to the liquid surface. The 
microprocessor-controlled electronics calculates distance to the liquid level from the 
time delay between the transmitting and receiving of signals.
When programmed with the bottom reference of the application – usually the bottom 
of a tank – the transmitter will calculate the liquid depth (level), and output the level 
(
) as a 4–20 mA signal and a digital HART® signal.
The 3107 and the 3108 can also calculate contents (volume) or open channel flow, and 
then output the result as a 4–20 mA signal and a digital HART signal.
Programming is achieved by remote communication using HART.
