Wireless considerations
Power up sequence
The Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before any wireless field devices are powered. Install the Black
™
Power Module, SmartPower
Solutions model number 701PBKKF (part number 00753-9220-0001) into the Rosemount 702
Transmitter to power the device. Wireless devices should be powered up in order of proximity from the Gateway, beginning with
the closest device, then working outward from the Gateway. This results in a simpler and faster network installation. Enable Active
™
Advertising on the Gateway to ensure new devices are able to join the network faster. For more information see the Emerson
Wireless 1420 Gateway
Reference
Manual.
Antenna position
The antenna should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight down, and it should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any
large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other devices.

Conduit entry
Upon installation, ensure each conduit entry is either sealed with a conduit plug using approved thread sealant, or has an installed
conduit fitting or cable gland with appropriate threaded sealant. Note the conduit entries on the Rosemount 702 Transmitter are
threaded ½–14 NPT.
