Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Use the Rosemount 2130 Level Switch ("level switch") only as specified in this manual.
Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
The weight of the level switch with a heavy flange and extended fork length may exceed
37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required to be done before carrying, lifting, and installing
the level switch.
Do not remove the level switch cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
The level switch cover must be fully engaged and locked to meet explosion-proof
requirements.
Verify the operating environment of the level switch is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certifications.
Review Appendix B: Product Certifications
associated with a hazardous location installation.
If the level switch is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error
occurs, high voltage may be present on the sensor leads and terminals.
Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
Make sure the main power to the level switch is off and the lines to any other external power
source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the level switch.
Ensure the wiring is suitable for the electrical current and the insulation is suitable for the
voltage, temperature, and environment.
Care must be taken to avoid possible burns. The flange and process seal may also be hot at
high process temperatures. Allow to cool before servicing.
Install and tighten process connection before applying pressure.
Do not attempt to loosen the process connection while the level switch is in service.
Make sure that the level switch is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged, gas might
escape from the tank.
Unauthorized changes to the product are strictly prohibited as they may unintentionally and
unpredictably alter performance and jeopardize safety.
Unauthorized changes that interfere with the integrity of the welds or flanges, such as
making additional perforations, compromise product integrity and safety. Equipment
ratings and certifications are no longer valid on any products that have been damaged or
modified without the prior written permission of Emerson. Any continued use of product
that has been damaged or modified without the written authorization is at the customer's
sole risk and expense.
