About this guide

This installation guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 5300 Series transmitters. It does not provide instructions for configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting, Explosion-proof, Flameproof, or intrinsically safe (I.S.) installations. Refer to the Rosemount 5300 Series Reference Manual (Document No. 00809-0100-4530) for more instruction. The manual and this Quick Installation Guide (QIG) are also available electronically on www.rosemount.com.

Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in death or serious injury

Make sure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable code of practice.

Use the equipment only as specified in this QIG and the Reference Manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Do not perform any services other than those contained in this manual unless you are qualified.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury

Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations specifications. See Product Certifications on page 25 in this Quick Installation Guide.

To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing.

Before connecting a HART®, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, or Modbus based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.

To avoid process leaks, only use O-rings designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.

Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury

Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause electrical shock.

Make sure the main power to the Rosemount 5300 Series transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the transmitter.

Probes with non-conducting surfaces

Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.
