Installation
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Installation consists of mounting the transmitter and sensor assembly and
making electrical connections. If mounting the transmitter directly to the sensor
assembly, use the process mounting technique shown in Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2,
on page 2-3. For transmitter locations remote from the sensor, use conduit
between the sensor and transmitter. Transmitter hubs will accept male conduit
fittings with ½–14 NPT; ½–14 NPSM; or ½–14 taper thread per ANSIC 80.4.
Mechanical 1. Mount the thermowell t o the pipe or process container wall.
2. Attach any necessary extension nipples and adapters. Seal the nipple and
adapter threads with silicone or tape.
3. Screw th e sensor into the thermowell.
4. Install drain seals if required for severe environments or to satisfy code
requirements (See Figure 2-2 on page 2-3).
5. Attach the transmitter to the thermowell assembly. Seal the adapter
threads with silicone or tape.
6. Install conduit for field wiring to the remaining conduit entry of the
transmitter. Seal conduit threads with silicone or tape.
7. Pull fie ld wiring leads through the conduit into the terminal side of the
transmitter housing.
Electrical
Explosion may result in death or serious injury. Do not
remove theinstr umentc overin explosive atmospheres
when the circuit is alive.
High voltagetha t maybe present on leads may cause
electrical shock. Avoidcontact with the leads and the
terminals.
Process leaks may result in deathor se rious injury.Install
and tighten thermowells or sensors beforeapplying
pressure, or process leakage may result.Removing the
thermowell or sensor while in operationmay cause process
fluid leaks.
Forexplosion-proof installations, wiring connections must
be made in accordance with Rosemount drawing00444-
0261, Rev.E.
Forintr insicallysafe installations, wiring connections must
be made in accordance with ANSI/ISA-RP12.6, and
Rosemount drawing 00444-0034, Rev.C (CSA) or 00444-
0264, Rev.B (SAA).
Forall installations, wiring connections must followthe
National Electric Code.
