Quick Start Guide
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 3051S Series Pressure Transmitters. It does not provide
instructions for configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting, Explosion-proof,
Flameproof, or intrinsically safe (I.S.) installations. Refer to the Rosemount 3051S Reference Manual,
Rosemount 3051SFA Reference Manual, Rosemount 3051SFC Reference Manual, or Rosemount 3051SFP
Reference Manual for more instruction. This document is also available electronically on
EmersonProcess.com/Rosemount.
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
3051S Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
Before connecting a Field 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.
In an Explosion-Proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is
applied to the unit.
Use appropriately rate Ex adapters, blanking elements, or glands during installation.
Keep process insulation at least 1-in. (25 mm) from transmitter connection.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
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.
Conduit/cable entries
Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the transmitter housing use a 1/2–14 NPT thread form. Entries
marked “M20” are M20 ⫻1.5 thread form. On devices with multiple conduit entries, all entries have the
same thread form. Only use plugs, adapters, glands, or conduit with compatible thread form when closing
these entries.
When installing in a hazardous location, use only appropriately listed or Ex certified plugs, adapters, or
glands in cable/conduit entries.
