Quick Start Guide
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 3051 Wireless Transmitters. It does not provide
instructions for configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting or Intrinsically Safe (I.S.)
installations. Refer to the Rosemount 3051 Wireless Reference Manual for more instruction. This manual is also
available electronically on EmersonProcess.com/Rosemount.
Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Remove the power module prior to shipping
the unit.
Each 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.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the appropriate local,
national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Review the approvals section of the Rosemount
3051 Wireless Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
Before connecting a HART®-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments
in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
To avoid process leaks, only use the O-ring designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
