There are limits to the security capabilities of the protocol and the devices that use it. Emerson recommends a Defense-in-Depth (DiD) strategy. It is recommended to use physical security controls along with electronic security controls of any networked devices connected to the HART transmitter.
Emerson. 1.2 Return policy Emerson procedures must be followed when returning equipment. These procedures ensure legal compliance with government transportation agencies and help provide a safe working environment for Emerson employees. Failure to follow Emerson procedures will result in your equipment being refused delivery.

11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the housing adapter. CAUTION To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install the interconnecting coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run or use sealed cable glands at both ends of the cable. www.Emerson.com...
This will stress the cable and may damage the sensor. 6. Place the electronics housing into the top of the support tube. 7. Use a hex wrench to turn the four housing rotation screws counterclockwise (outward) to engage the support tube. www.Emerson.com...
Adjust jumpers to desired settings. 4.1 HART jumpers If alarm and security jumpers are not installed, the flowmeter will operate normally with the default alarm condition alarm HIGH and the security OFF. Figure 4-1: HART jumpers and LCD display ALA RM SECURITY www.Emerson.com...
If the conduit originates above the flowmeter, route conduit below the flowmeter to form a drip loop before entry. In some cases, a drain seal may need to be installed. www.Emerson.com...

3. Using an M4 hex wrench, loosen the jam screw until it contacts the transmitter cover. 4. Turn the jam screw an additional ½ turn counterclockwise to secure the cover. CAUTION Application of excessive torque may strip the threads. 5. Verify that the cover cannot be removed. www.Emerson.com...
In most cases, all of these variables are pre-configured at the factory. Configuration may be required if your flowmeter is not configured or if the configuration variables need revision. Emerson recommends the following variables are reviewed before startup. HART ®...
