Quick Start Guide
1 Safety
WARNING!
• Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in serious injury
or death.
• Installation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel
only. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions, unless qualified.
• Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeters ordered with non-standard paint
options or non-metallic labels may be subject to electrostatic discharge.
To avoid electrostatic charge build-up, do not rub the flowmeter with a
dry cloth or clean with solvents.
• Verify that the operating environment of the sensor and transmitter is
consistent with the appropriate Agency Approval.
• If installed in an explosive atmosphere, verify that the device certification
and installation techniques are suitable for that particular environment.
• To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmosphere, disconnect
power before servicing circuits.
• Explosion hazard—Do not disconnect equipment when a flammable or
combustible atmosphere is present.
• Do not connect a Rosemount Transmitter to a non-Rosemount sensor
when installed in an "Ex" environment, explosive atmosphere, hazardous
area, or classified area.
• Follow national, local, and plant standards to properly earth ground the
transmitter and sensor. The earth ground must be separate from the
process reference ground.
CAUTION!
• In cases where high voltage/high current are present near the meter
installation, ensure proper protection methods are followed to prevent
stray voltage/current from passing through the meter. Failure to
adequately protect the meter could result in damage to the transmitter
and lead to meter failure.
• Completely remove all electrical connections from both sensor and
transmitter prior to welding on the pipe. For maximum protection of the
sensor, consider removing it from the pipeline.
