NOTICE
The Rosemount 648 Wireless and all other wireless devices should be installed only
after the Smart Wireless Gateway has been installed and is functioning properly.
Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Smart
Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster
network installation.
Shipping considerations for wireless products (lithium batteries: Black Power
Module, model number 701PBKKF):
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Remove the power
module prior to shipping the unit.
Each Black Power Module contains two “C” 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 (Black Power Module, model number 701PBKKF):
The Black Power Module with the wireless unit contains two “C” size primary
lithium-thionyl chloride battery (model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains
approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal
conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the
batteries and the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent
thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent
premature discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum power module
life, storage temperature should not exceed 30 °C.

2.3 Sensor connections
The Rosemount 648 Wireless is compatible with a number of RTD and thermocouple sensor
types. Figure 2-1 shows the correct input connections to the sensor terminals on the
transmitter. To ensure a proper sensor connection, anchor the sensor lead wires into the
appropriate compression terminals and tighten the screws.
Make sensor connections through the cable entry in the side of the connection head. Be
sure to provide adequate clearance for cover removal.
When using Rosemount X-well™Technology, the Rosemount 648 Wireless is required to be
assembled to a Rosemount 0085 Pipe Clamp RTD Sensor in a direct mount 3-wire
configuration.
2.3.1 Thermocouple or millivolts inputs
The thermocouple can be connected directly to the transmitter. Use appropriate
thermocouple extension wire if mounting the transmitter remotely from the sensor.
2.3.2 RTD or ohm inputs
The Rosemount 648 Wireless will accept a variety of RTD or ohmic configurations, including
2-, 3-, or 4-wire connections. If the Rosemount 648 Wireless is mounted remotely using a 3-
or 4-wire connection, it will operate withing specifications without recalibration for lead
wire resistances of up to 5 ohms per lead (equivalent to 500 ft. of 20 AWG wire). In this case,
the leads between the RTD and transmitter is recommended to be shielded.
If using a 2-wire connection, both RTD leads are in series with the sensor element. This can
cause significant errors if the lead lengths exceed 3 ft. of 20 AWG wire (approximately
0.05 °C/ft.). For longer runs, it is recommended to attach a third or fourth lead to achieve
the benefits of a 3- or 4-wire connection as described above.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on
leads can cause electrical shock.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance
of 20 cm from all persons.
The power module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The power module has surface
resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be properly installed in the wireless
device enclosure. Care must be taken during transportation to and from the point of
installation to prevent electrostatic charge build-up.

Sensor lead wire resistance effect—RTD input
Since the lead wires are part of the RTD circuit, the lead wire resistance needs to be
compensated for to achieve the best accuracy. This becomes especially critical in
applications where long sensor and/or lead wires are used. There are three lead wire
configurations commonly available.
A 4-wire design is ideal because the lead wire resistance is inconsequential to the
measurement. It uses a measurement technique where a very small constant current of
about 150 micro amps is applied to the sensor through two leads and the voltage
developed across the sensor is measured over the other two wires with a high-impedance
and high resolution measuring circuit. In accordance with Ohm's Law, the high impedance
virtually eliminates any current flow in the voltage measurement leads and therefore the
resistance of the leads is not a factor.
In a 3-wire configuration, compensation is accomplished using the third wire with the
assumption that it will be the same resistance as the other two wires and the same
compensation is applied to all three wires.
In a 2-wire configuration there can be no compensation for lead wire resistance since the
lead wires are in series with the element and appear to the transmitter as part of the sensor's
resistance causing inherent accuracy degradation.

Sensor input Approximate basic error
4-wire RTD Negligible(1)
1. Independent of lead wire resistance up to 5per lead.
3-wire RTD Error in reading is equivalent to unbalanced lead wire resistance(2)
2. Unbalanced lead wire resistance is the maximum resistance differences between any of two leads.
2-wire RTD Error in reading equivalent total lead wire resistance

Sensor leads
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation
error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use
extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
Use the following steps to wire the sensor and supply power to the transmitter:
1. Remove the transmitter enclosure cover (if applicable).
2. Attach the sensor leads according to the wiring diagrams.
3. Connect the power module.
4. Verify the connection by observing the LCD display (if applicable).
5. Reattach and tighten the cover (if applicable).
2.4 Bench top configuration
Bench top configuration consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter
configuration data. The Rosemount 648 Wireless must be configured before installation,
which may be performed either directly or remotely. Direct configuration can be performed
using a Field Communicator, AMS Device Manager, AMS Wireless Configurator, or any
WirelessHART®Communicator. Remote configuration can be performed using AMS Device
Manager, AMS Wireless Configurator, or the Smart Wireless Gateway.
The power module must be installed to provide power to the Rosemount 648 Wireless for
configuration. To communicate to the transmitter, begin by removing the power
module-side housing cover, indicated as “Field terminals” by text located on the side of the
device. This will expose the terminal block and HART®Communication terminals, which are
labeled “COMM”. Connect the power module to supply power for configuration. See
Figure 2-7.
