Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices.
In an Explosion-Proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers
when power is applied to the unit.
Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads
can cause electrical shock.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals.
Install and tighten all four flange bolts before applying pressure.
Do not attempt to loosen or remove flange bolts while the transmitter is in service.
Use only bolts supplied or sold by Emerson Process Management as spare parts.
For safe assembly of manifold to traditional flange, bolts must break back plane of
flange web (i.e., bolt hole) but must not contact sensor module housing.
