NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 3051S and 3051S MultiVariable™Wireless Transmitters.
It does not provide instructions for diagnostics, maintenance, service, or troubleshooting. Refer to the
Rosemount 3051S and 3051S MultiVariable Wireless Reference Manual for more instruction. The manual
and this guide are 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 this guide for any
restrictions associated with a safe installation.
Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the instruments are installed
in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
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.
Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Remove the power module prior to shipping
