March 2015 Quick Start Guide NOTICE Power Module Considerations (Green Power Module, model number 701PGNKF): The Green Power Module with the wireless unit contains one “D” size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery (model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains approximately 5.0 grams of lithium.
Quick Start Guide March 2015 Wireless considerations Power up sequence The Power Module should not be installed on any wireless device until the Smart Wireless Gateway is installed and functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Smart Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest.

Local display During normal operation, the LCD display will display the PV value at the configured update rate. For Device Status screens, see LCD screen messages on Rosemount 248 Wireless Reference Manual (document number 00809-0100-4248). Aluminum housing Operations can be verified in three locations: using the Field Communicator, at the Smart Wireless Gateway's integrated web interface, or using AMS Suite Wireless Configurator or AMS Device Manager.

Quick Start Guide March 2015 Emerson Smart Wireless Gateway In the integrated web interface from the Gateway, navigate to the Explorer>Status page. This page shows whether the device has joined the network and if it is communicating properly. Note It may take several minutes for the device to join the network.
When the device has joined the network, it will appear in the Wireless Configurator window as illustrated in figure below. For HART Wireless transmitter communication, a Rosemount 248 Wireless DD is required. To obtain the latest DD, visit the Emerson Process Management Easy Upgrade site at: http://www2.emersonprocess.com/en-us/documentation/deviceinstallkits/page...

March 2015 Quick Start Guide Handling considerations Polymer housing The Green Power Module with the wireless unit contains one “D” size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery (Green Power Module, model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains approximately 5.0 gr of lithium. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the pack integrity are maintained.
All wireless devices require certification to ensure they adhere to regulations regarding the use of the RF spectrum. Nearly every country requires this type of product certification. Emerson is working with governmental agencies around the world to supply fully compliant products and remove the risk of violating country directives or laws governing wireless device usage.
