1 About this guide
This guide provides basic guidelines to install the Rosemount 248R Rail
Mount Temperature Transmitter. It does not provide instructions for
detailed configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting,
or installations. Refer to the Rosemount 248R Temperature Transmitter
Reference Manual for more instruction. The manual and this guide are also
available electronically at Emerson.com/Rosemount.
1.1 Safety messages
WARNING
Explosions
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of device in an explosive environment must be in accordance
with appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and
practices.
Review the Hazardous Locations Certifications for any restrictions
associated with a safe installation.
Process leaks
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Install and tighten thermowells and sensors before applying pressure.
Do not remove the thermowell while in operation.
Electrical shock
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be
present on leads can cause electrical shock.
Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the housing use a ½–14 NPT
thread form. Entries marked “M20” are M20 × 1.5 thread form. On
devices with multiple conduit entries, all entries will have the same
thread form. Only use plugs, adapters, glands, or conduit with a
compatible thread form when closing these entries.
When installing in a hazardous location, use only appropriately listed or
Ex certified plugs, glands, or adapters in cable/conduit entries.

WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or
misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be intentional or
unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by
unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.

2.1 Safety messages
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions
to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations.
Information that potentially raises safety issues is indicated by a warning
symbol ( ). Please refer to the following safety messages before performing
an operation preceded by this symbol.
WARNING
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.
Ensure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the housing covers in explosive atmospheres when the
circuit is live.
Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive
atmosphere, ensure the instruments are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent
with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
All connection head covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-
proof requirements.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the thermowell while in operation.
Install and tighten thermowells and sensors before applying pressure.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

(1) When using thermocouple input, the transmitter can be configured for either
constant, internal or external CJC via a Pt100 or Ni100 sensor. This must be
selected during device configuration.
2.3 Multidrop mode
The communication is either by means of a HART® communicator or a HART
modem.
The HART communicator or a HART modem can be connected across BC or
CD.
The outputs of maximum 63 transmitters can be connected in parallel for a
digital HART 2-wire communication.
Before it is connected, each transmitter must be configured with a unique
number from 1 to 63. If two transmitters are configured with the same
number, both will be excluded. The transmitters must be programmed for
multidrop mode (with a fixed output signal of 4 mA). Maximum current in
the loop is therefore 252 mA.
