Safety messages

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety
of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is
indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Please refer to the following safety messages before
performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Explosions may result in death or serious injury.



Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. If the sensor is installed in a
high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be
present on transmitter leads and terminals.

Field communicator

The Menu Tree and Fast Key sequences use the following device revisions:

The field communicator exchanges information with the transmitter from the control room, the
instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the loop. To facilitate communication,
connect the field communicator in parallel with the transmitter (see
connection ports on the top of the field communicator. The connections are non-polarized. Do
not make connections to the NiCad recharger jack in explosive atmospheres. Before connecting
the field communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are
installed according to intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices
3.4.1

Updating the HART communication software

The field communicator software may need to be updated to take advantage of the additional
features available in the latest 3144P. Perform the following steps to determine if an upgrade is
necessary.
1.
2.
Note
The original release of the safety-certified 3144P uses the name "3144P SIS" from the model list
and requires "Dev v2, DD v1."
30
Do not remove the instrument cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is live.
Before connecting a Field 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.
Both covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion–proof requirements.
Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
Device Dashboard: Device Revision 5 and 6, DD v1
Choose "Rosemount" from the list of manufacturers 5 and 6 and "3144 Temp" from the
list of models.
If the Field Device Rev choices include "Dev v1," "Dev v2," "Dev v3," or "Dev v4" (with
any DD version), then the user will be able to connect to the device with reduced
functionality. To unlock full functionality, download and install the new DD.
