NOTICE
Before installing the wireless transmitters
The Rosemount 248 Wireless Temperature Transmitter and all other wireless devices must be installed only after the
Wireless Gateway has been installed and is functioning properly. Emerson recommends that wireless devices also be
powered up in order of proximity from the Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler
and faster network installation.
Shipping considerations for wireless products (lithium batteries: Green Power Module, model number
701PGNKF):
The unit was shipped without the power module installed. Prior to re-shipment, ensure that the power module has
been removed.
Each Green Power Module contains one "D" size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery. Primary lithium batteries are
regulated in transportation by the U. S. Department of Transportation, and are also covered by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), and ARD (European Ground Transportation of
Dangerous Goods). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local
requirements. Consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.
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. Under normal conditions, the battery
materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the pack integrity are maintained.
Ensure care is taken to prevent thermal, electrical, or mechanical damage. Contacts must be protected to prevent
premature discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Power modules must be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum battery life, storage temperature must not
exceed 86 °F (30 °C).
