The Rosemount 5600 Level Transmitter allows for advanced processing and is suitable for high temperature and high pressure applications as well as for measuring solids. The strength of a 4-wire device is its high sensitivity and its ability to detect weak radar echoes in challenging process environments. The built-in diagnostics are able to detect disturbing objects and identify the true echo.
