Considerations when changing to 3300
When changing from a displacer to a 3300 Series transmitter, make sure to correctly match the 3300 series flange choice and probe length to the cage. Both standard ANSI and EN (DIN) as well as proprietary cage flanges with a non-standard diameter and gasket surface are used. The following table gives guidelines on required probe length:
| Cabe Manufacturer |
Probe Length |
| Fisher 249B & C / 259B |
Displacer + 9 in. (23 cm) |
| Masoneilan |
Displacer + 8 in. (20 cm) |
| Others |
Displacer + 8in. (20 cm)
approximate value, length can vary |
If there is a chance the probe comes into contact with a wall, nozzle or other tank obstruction, the coaxial probe is the only possible choice. Minimum clearance is given in the table below.
