Warnings
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS Measurement accuracy depends upon proper installation of the transmitter
and impulse piping. Mount the transmitter close to the process and use a
minimum of piping to achieve best accuracy. Also, consider the need for easy
access, personnel safety, practical field calibration, and a suitable transmitter
environment. Install the transmitter to minimize vibration, shock, and
temperature fluctuation. Appendix A: Reference Data lists temperature
operating limits.
MECHANICAL
CONSIDERATIONS NOTE
For applications with process temperatures greater than the limits of the
transmitter, do not blow down impulse piping through the transmitter. Flush
lines with the blocking valves closed and refill lines with water before
resuming measurement.
Explosions can result in death or serious injury.
• Transmitters located in hazardous areas should be installed in accordance with
local codes and requirements for that area.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
• Avoid contact with the exposed leads and terminals. High voltage that may be
present on leads can cause electrical shock.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
• Properly tighten process connections before applying pressure.
Apply torque only to the hex flat located at the process end of the transmitter. Do not apply
torque to the transmitter body or electrical connection - severe damage could result. Do not
exceed 100 ft-lbs.

Impulse Piping
The piping between the process and the transmitter must accurately transfer
the pressure to obtain accurate measurements. There are five possible
sources of error: pressure transfer, leaks, friction loss (particularly if purging is
used), trapped gas in a liquid line and liquid in a gas line.
The best location forthe transmitter in relation to the process pipe depends on
the process itself. Use the following guidelines to determine transmitter
location and placement of impulse piping:
• Keep impulse piping as short as possible.
• For liquid service, slope the impulse piping at least 1 inch per foot
(8 cm per m) upward from the transmitter toward the
process connection.
• For gas service, slope the impulse piping at least 1 inch per foot (8 cm
per m) downward from the transmitter toward the process connection.
• Avoid high points in liquid lines and low points in gas lines.
• Use impulse piping large enough to avoid friction effects and blockage.
• Vent all gas from liquid piping legs.
• When purging, make the purge connection close to the process taps
and purge through equal lengths of the same size pipe. Avoid purging
through the transmitter.
• Keep corrosive or hot (above 200 °F [93.3 °C]) process material out of
direct contact with the transmitter.
• Prevent sediment deposits in the impulse piping.
• Avoid conditions that might allow process fluid to freeze within the
process connector.

Connect Wiring and
Power Up Wiring
To make connections, connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the
power supply and the black lead to the positive terminal of the I/O card on the
PLC. Connect the green wire to panel ground. Keep green ground wire as
short as possible to minimize the effects of Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI).
Inductive-based transient protectors with more than 3 mH of inductance can
adversely affect the output of the Rosemount 4600 transmitter. If your
application requires transient protection, it is recommended that you order a
transmitter with the transient protection option specified.

Field Wiring
Signal Wiring Grounding
Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring, or near
heavy electrical equipment.
Power Supply 4–20 mA Transmitters
The dc power supply should provide power with less than two percent ripple.
Total resistance load is the sum of resistance from signal leads and the load
resistance of the controller, indicator, and related pieces. Note that the
resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included.
NOTE
A minimum loop resistance of 250 ohms is required to communicate with a
Field Communicator. If a single power supply is used to power more than one
Rosemount 4600 transmitter, the power supply and circuitry common to the
transmitter, should not have more than 20 ohms of impedance at 1200 Hz.

Transmitters
Surges/Transients
The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually
encountered in static discharges or induced switching transients. However,
high-energy transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby lightning
strikes, can damage the transmitter.
Optional Transient Protection
Transient protection can be ordered as a factory installed option (Option Code
T1 in the transmitter model number). Transient protection can not be added to
units ordered without the T1 option.
Zero the transmitter Performing a zero adjustment is a recommended step for sealed gauge
transmitters.
NOTE
Do not re-zero absolute transmitters.
Re-zeroing the transmitter allows for a single point adjustment to compensate
for any mounting position and sealed gauge effects. This can be done with a
zero trim (See “Sensor Trim” on page 4-5), 4-20mA rerange or with the zero
and span adjustments.

GROUNDING THE
TRANSMITTER CASE Always ground the transmitter case in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. The most effective transmitter case grounding method is a
direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. Methods for
grounding the transmitter case include:
•Internal Ground Connection: The green lead provides the internal
ground connection, and is standard on all Rosemount 4600
transmitters.
•External Ground Assembly: This assembly is included with the
optional transient protection (Option Code T1). The External Ground
Assembly can also be ordered with the transmitter (Option Code D4),
or as a spare part (4600-0113-0001).
NOTE
Grounding the transmitter case using the threaded electrical or process
connections may not provide a sufficient ground. The transient protection
(Option Code T1) will not provide transient protection unless the transmitter
case is properly grounded. Usethe above guidelines to ground the transmitter
case. Do not run transient protection ground wire with signal wiring; the
ground wire may carry excessive current if a lightning strike occurs.

OVERVIEW This section contains information on operation and maintenance of the
Rosemount 4600 transmitter.
Field Communicator and AMS instructions are given to perform maintenance
functions. For convenience, Field Communicator fast key sequences are
labeled “Fast Keys” for each software function below the appropriate
headings.
CALIBRATION FOR
HART PROTOCOL Calibrating a Rosemount 4600 transmitter may include the following
procedures:
• Rerange: Sets the 4 and 20 mA points at required pressures.
• Sensor Trim: Adjusts the position of the factory characterization curve
to optimize performance over a specified pressure range, or to adjust
for mounting effects.
• Analog Output Trim: Adjusts the analog output to match the plant
standard or the control loop.
The Rosemount 4600 uses a microprocessor that contains information about
the sensor’s specific characteristics in response to pressure and temperature
inputs. A smart transmitter compensates for these sensor variations. The
process of generating the sensor performance profile is called factory
characterization. Factory characterization also provides the ability to readjust
the 4 and 20 mA points without applying pressure to the transmitter.
Trim and rerange functions differ significantly. Reranging sets analog output to
the selected upper and lower range points and can be done with or without an
applied pressure. Reranging does not change the factory characterization
curve stored in the microprocessor. Sensor trimming requires an accurate
pressure input and adds additional compensation that adjusts the position of
the factory characterization curve to optimize performance over a specific
pressure range.
NOTE
Sensor trimming adjusts the position of the factory characterization curve. It is
possible to degrade performance of the transmitter if the trim is done
improperly or with inaccurate equipment.

Calibration Tasks
Calibration Overview Complete calibration of the Rosemount 4600 Oil & Gas transmitter involves
the following tasks:
Configure the output parameters
• Set Process Variable Units (page 3-6)
• Rerange (page 3-7)
• Set Damping (page 3-9)
Calibrate the sensor
• Full Trim (page 3-8)
• Zero Trim (page 3-7)
Calibrate the 4–20 mA output
• 4–20 mA Output Trim (page 3-10); or
• 4–20 mA Output Trim Using Other Scale (page 3-12)
Figure 3-1 on page 3-3 illustrates Rosemount 4600 transmitter data flow. Data
flow can be summarized in four major steps:
1. A change in pressure is measured by a change in the sensor output
(Sensor Signal).
2. The sensor signal is converted to a digital format that is understood by
the microprocessor (Analog-to-Digital Signal Conversion).
3. Corrections are performed in the microprocessor to obtain a digital
representation of the process input (Digital PV).
4. The Digital PV is converted to an analog value (Digital-to-Analog Signal
Conversion).
Figure 3-1 also identifies the approximate transmitter location for each
calibration task. Data flows from left to right, and a parameter change affects
all values to the right of the changed parameter.
