Transmitter case grounding
The most effective transmitter case grounding method is a direct connection to earth
ground with minimal impedance.
WARNING
Always ground the transmitter case in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
Methods for grounding the transmitter case include:
• Internal ground connection: the internal ground connection screw is inside the FIELD
TERMINALS side of the electronics housing. This screw is identified by a ground symbol
( ). The ground connection screw is standard on all Rosemount 3051P Transmitters.
